Music Therapy

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.

View weekly playlists, discuss the mood, and interact with me at the Music Therapy Facebook page: www.facebook.com/musictherapyWAYO

    I'm feeling very mysterious and secretive today! Therefore, this show will remain cloaked in mystery and hidden from view. It won't even have a title! Which is an awkward way of basically saying that Music Therapy is playing hidden tracks and untitled songs this week! Enjoy some tunes you probably don't know or haven't heard before!
