Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#207’ on it.

We started this one off with a couple of new new tracks. We followed that with a set of minimal wave and synthpop tracks. Then we played a set of old and somewhat obscure post-punk songs. The fourth block was a set themed around consumerism, shopping, etc. because we’re now in the midst of the Christmas holiday season. We went shopping for some mallsoft tracks in the fifth block, then we wrapped up the show with set of shoegaze and experimental tracks.
