Episode 250: 4/21/2024

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#250’ on it.

We began this show with tracks by bands that are playing at Vino’s next Friday, April 26. Then we played a block of new industrial, darkwave, and post-punk tracks from new releases. That was followed with a set of of industrial and synthwave. The fourth block was a set of heavy industrial and power noise with a underlying theme of man-made and ecological disasters. The fifth block was a set of experimental and power electronics that continued with the theme of pollution and man-made disasters, and we finished the show with a set of experimental tracks. We also, against all probable odds, reached our 250th episode! Thanks to everyone who listens, whether you’re new or have been with us since the beginning.

Note: The podcast for this show is currently unavailable, because we ran out of space on our podcast hosting service. We’re currently looking for a solution/workaround for this.
