Episode 138: 12/20/2020

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#138’ on it.

We began our 2020 holiday show with a set in honor of the new hero of the holiday season, Krampus. That was followed with a set of post-punk tracks in honor of Winter Solstice. We followed that with a set of dark and twisted Christmas songs. Then we had a much more solemn set of songs. The midnight block was split between a set of quarantine/Covid19 Christmas songs—yes, that’s a thing!—and songs about New Year’s Eve. Then we put a bow on the show with a mix of festive songs. We hope your holiday season is as good as it can be in this stupid plague year.
