Type of Show: 
Music

We all find our outlets in different ways. Some people work out, others drink heavily. I get my weekly dose of therapy by playing some of my favorite music for you for two hours a week.

Tune in for an hour of indie-rock, indie-pop, and associated genres. Then it's emo f. If you're not familiar with either, we'll explore a variety of the styles that fit into those two genres, from quiet and folky to airy and atmospheric to loud and aggressive.

Past Episodes

  • Music Therapy - February 14, 2017: Hate/Heartbreak (Part 2 of 2) Aired: Tuesday, February 14, 2017

    America celebrates February 14 each year in honor of the stoning of a saint by buying overpriced candy and dying flowers for each other. It's supposed to show love, I suppose, which lets you off the hook in caring the other 364 days of the year. For those of us unburdoned by such invented emotions, this day is one to scoff in the face of sentimentality and say F- you to the greeting card companies. Celebrate the way it was always intended: with sad songs drenched in hate and heartbreak.

  • Music Therapy - February 7, 2017: Super Bowl (Part 1 of 2) Aired: Tuesday, February 7, 2017

    The United States took a break from yelling at each other and protesting executive orders for a few hours to celebrate one of the great American traditions: tossing the skin of a pig and beating each other up. What a grand country this is! We're playing indie rock tunes in honor of the great game that was (and, to start off the show, in honor of the Superb Owl that was not)!

  • Music Therapy - January 31, 2017: Walls (Part 1 of 2) Aired: Tuesday, January 31, 2017

    We all have our walls. Maybe they're a personal hurdle yet to be overcome, or maybe they're oppressive restrictions forced upon you by a politician. Either way, they're an omnipresent representation of the struggle we all face. Today, we're doing songs about those walls and stay out (or keeping in).

  • Music Therapy - January 24, 2017: Animals (Part 1 of 2) Aired: Tuesday, January 24, 2017

    Love, hate, death, and animals - these are the things people write songs about. Yes, there are a heck of a lot of animal-related or -themed songs. Digging deep through my collection of indie rock, Music Therapy is doing animal songs this week. I promise a truly wild show!

    Last week was all lightness and pop. This week is a complete 180 degree change. I'm feeling dark and moody, so this week's theme is all about MURDER and DEATH! Enjoy!

  • Music Therapy - January 10, 2017: Sweet/Light (Part 1 of 2) Aired: Tuesday, January 10, 2017

    This is the darkest and bleakest part of Western New York winters, when the holiday lights are all down and the impending three months of gray clouds and bitter temperatures start to get to me. So I need a dose of sweetness and lightness to buoy my heart. Enjoy some sweet indie-pop this week!
