Episode 253: 6/16/2024
This week’s episode was a milestone for us. Half Machine Lip Moves debuted on June 16, 2017. We celebrated our seventh anniversary by doing nothing particularly special. We started this show with some brand new darkwave and post-punk tracks. The second block was a mix of old and new industrial tracks. The third block was a set of noise rock and no wave. The fourth block was a set of industrial and experimental tracks. The fifth block was a set of summer-themed industrial and EBM. The sixth and final block was a set of experimental and ambient tracks with a summer theme.

Episode 252: 5/26/2024
This show began with a set of brand new post-punk, darkwave, and synthwave tracks. Then we began the show proper, which was a tribute to the late producer and audio engineer Steve Albini, also of the bands Big Black and Shellac. We played tracks from releases that were recorded, mixed, or produced by Steve Albini, as well as tracks he played on or wrote. Most of it leaned on noise rock and no wave, along with a bit of post-punk, and we closed the show with a set of post-rock, experimental, etc.
