HipTherapyMusic.com is devoted to finding new rock music for experienced fans who previously found it on the radio.
Hearing a new, unknown song is like a breath of fresh air, a window opened on a spring day. It can rejuvenate and inspire; it can remind you that you’re still alive. New music does, however, require an open mind and tolerance of risk. I have come to realize that these two useful traits, with age, can dwindle. Why? Those traits led to great music when we were kids, teens and 20-somethings. Now, sadly, among my peers and with great frequency, I hear, “There’s no good new music anymore.” I know this isn’t true. And I’m here to show you where it is.
What if you haven’t yet heard your favorite song ever?
HipTherapyMusic.com has two goals: 1) deliver a carefully curated cross-section of music that could – and should – be on rock radio if that option still existed (stations like KMET, KFOG, WBCN, KGB-FM and the like, in their hey-day); and 2) demystify the jungle of technology where new music now resides.
HipTherapyMusic.com is a safe place to close your eyes, open your mind and trust your ears. This site will expose new and under-appreciated music regularly, just like rock radio before short-sighted business calculators took over. This won’t be scary. Occassionally, it will be like meeting a long-lost friend. Come along for the ride!
“There is no good new music” is something I hear with alarming frequency among my peers. In my heart I know that just isn’t true.
The times I first heard Devo, Prince, the Pixies and others were life-changing and revolutionary, delivering dizzying blasts of dopamine that should NOT be limited to teens and 20-somethings alone. I want more.
I’m a refugee from 25 years of radio broadcasting, and am constantly seeking to scratch my musical itch. My goal is loud and rocking music that’s worthy of the memory of open-minded stations like Rock ‘n Rhythm KNAC and Rock-of-the-80’s KROQ: stations that always took risks with new music because, simply put, “classic rock” hadn’t yet been invented.
Worked there, done that and still have the shirts:
