Episode 226: 6/18/2023: A Warning From the Sun - 2023 Summer Solstice Show

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#226’ on it.

We started this show with some brand new tracks that debuted on the show. The rest of the show had a theme of summertime, beaches, etc., because Summer Solstice is coming up this Wednesday. We began with a set of goth and post-punk tracks, then there was a block of of industrial and synthwave tracks. That was followed with a set of noisy tracks, then we got experimental in the midnight block, and we wound things down with a set of shoegaze and ambient songs with a summer theme.
