Episode 213: 1/22/2023 - 2022 Review Special, Part 2/??

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#213’ on it.

We continued our look back at some of the releases that came out in 2022—again, it’s not really a best-of show because I never got around to making a best-of list. The opening set was a mix of industrial and adjacent stuff. We followed that with a set of darkwave ande post-punk. The third block was a set of EBM, etc. tracks. We followed that with some post-punk and goth tracks. The fifth set was a mix of tracks I wanted to play but didn’t have room for in other sets (it was also the last block of the show that was made), and we finished the show with a set of shoegazey tracks.
