The 2nd 2024 Spring New Music Showcase 12PM-4PM EDT on Wednesday’s “Theme Attic!!!”

Posted on May 29, 2024 by PhilMaq

What should one do when one’s computer dies and ruins months of show prep?

Why, of course, do the Second 2024 Spring New Music Showcase!

That’s what’s on tap for Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” with host Phil Maq from 12PM-4PM EDT!!!

Adjustments needed to be made.

For example, there will be a plethora of singles on today’s show!

Why, you ask?

Well, one of my personal goals is to listen to at least one new single per day.

I never run out of them!

So, that is what I am most prepared for.

I’ve always considered doing an all new singles show…and then I come to my senses.

This show may be as close as I ever get to that.

At the moment, there are 17 on the playlist!

There are 13 artists with Southeast Michigan ties!

25 artist debuts!

2-3 world premieres!

Another round of Random Record Roulette!

And a Top 9 at 2:09 of this week’s Fave Albums!

Take that computer! (But don’t say that out loud because the one I’m using might hear and wreak more havoc on me!)

Flobajomy!

I will divide the tags into sections, but they will only be an estimate.

I can’t guarantee that everything will fit into those slots, but I will try very hard to stick to them! (It may be more difficult this week.)

However…they are NOT in sequential order. (I often make changes during the show!)

Songs by artists from 12PM-2:09 PM EDT should include Pip Blom, Softcult, Lyn Stanley (Her new album cover for “Black Dress Ballads” is right of center in the banner!), Kacy Hill, Cris Jacobs, Muriel Anderson (Her new album cover for :Sailing Dreams” is on the left in the banner!)(Muriel Anderson), RubyJoyful, stellaprincemusic (Stella Prince), Phoebe Rees Music (Phoebe Rees), Alexandra Archer, 1000 Grams, Pom Poko unofficial, Sheppard, The Quill, Lol Tolhurst, Sid Simons, and more!!!

Songs by artists from 2PM-4PM EDT should include Bill Price, Shari Puorto Band (Shari Puorto), The Gravel Shakers (Their latest album cover, “Forward in All Directions,” is in the bottom left corner of the banner!)(Todd Perkins), Shaun Murphy, Annie & Rod Capps (Annie Capps), Bob Sky Young (His new album cover, “Love the Moments,” is in the center of the banner!), Judy Banker, DIRK KROLL BAND (The Dirk Kroll Band is playing Black Crystal Cafe in Ann Arbor, Michigan this Saturday!)(Marci Feldman), Ceolsige (Kelsey Detering), Jennifer Westwood And The Handsome Devils (Jennifer Westwood), Michael Snyder-Barker (His new album cover “60-2024,” is second from the right in the banner!), Foundry Town Survivors with Michael on Fire (Ron Colone), The Regulators, Ringo Starr (His new album cover, “Crooked Boy,” is in the lower right corner of the banner!), Ben Levin Piano (Ben Levin), David Roof, Jeff Karoub (LIVE MUSIC: Jeff Karoub & Garrison Corner in Dearborn, Michigan this Saturday!), DON ARBOR, The Surfers, PAPOOZ, The Slingers, and more!!!

So, grab some fresh ears and a good attitude, get a friend to listen with, and come along for Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” from 12PM-4PM EDT with Phil Maq!!!

Phil’s Faves: Albums, May 19, 2024

Posted on May 26, 2024 by PhilMaq

Over time, my listening habits have changed and at the moment I usually listen to albums completely through. I haven’t done that in years, but it’s actually very rewarding—particularly when the album is good. Every album that will be on this list will fit that category.

Songs from the albums on this list forms the basis of my countdown list for the “Top 9 at 2:09” segment of my “Theme Attic Show,” Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET on mostly alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Songs” lists!

The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!

It’s another peak into my listening habits—which is a goal of mine. If you want to know where I’m heading or what I think about some new music, you will find it here.

I honestly don’t expect there to be much volatility on this list because these albums are what I have been basing many of the sets on my show.

Once again, there will be no boundaries. I will go wherever my musical muse takes me.

There’s plenty of other musical things to browse!

A list that you might find interesting is my list for “The Most Awesomest Songs of the Day”: https://philmaq.com/most-awesomest-songs/!

If you’d like to know what I think are even better than the awesome songs, have a look at “The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded”:https://philmaq.com/the-greatest-songs-ever-recorded/! Occasionally, an “awesome song” crosses over to become a “Greatest Song!”

My somewhat unusual Hall of Fame can be explored here: https://philmaq.com/hall-of-fame/!

Lastly, but most importantly, is my Philby Awards link! A Philby is my annual award for brilliant musical achievement! https://philmaq.com/philbys/!

Phil’s Faves: Songs, May 19, 2024

Posted on May 25, 2024 by PhilMaq

This is a weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best songs that I listened to the previous week. Most songs will be current, but there are no boundaries. I’ve already stated on this web site that I am obsessed with music. I am constantly hunting it down whether it’s online, on CD, from my personal collection, from a library (Yes, I think the library is a great source of music–especially for music that you aren’t sure about.), TV, or radio. Since most of these sources mostly emphasize new music, the odds are pretty good that most of the songs on this list will be new. But in my search, I don’t use any boundaries for the other sources. I am just looking for good music that I haven’t heard, or happened to forget about. Everyone, including myself, has forgotten way more great music than they can ever remember-even if they are also music fanatics.

Also, there will be no rules concerning songs on this list. A song can show up or drop off a number of times. This will be the most volatile of my lists. It all depends on how much music I am exposed to during the week and what I find interesting. On really obscure stuff, I will try to include the source, if I know it.

Most of the songs heard on this list have been played on my radio show, “Theme Attic,” heard Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET!

The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!

This list forms the basis of my countdown list on the “Top 9 at 2:09” segment of my show on mostly alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Albums” lists!

Posted on May 8, 2024 by PhilMaq

Show #600

Man, that is a large number!

I had to call it something special because there is something to be said about doing something six hundred times.

So, of course, I went back to Latin and Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” with host Phil Maq from 12PM-4PM EDT will be known as The Sescentorum Show!

Nifty, eh?

And to celebrate, I will be reaching for some deep cuts of fun!

On this show, I intend to celebrate Mom with a few songs, and then we all go for a ride from “Lonelyville” to the “Top of the World!”

And for even more listening pleasure, there will be a Top 9 at 2:09 EDT of this week’s Fave Albums!

There will be several surprises and memories, too!

Plus 10 artists with Southeast Michigan ties!

I will divide the tags into sections, but they will only be an estimate.

I can’t guarantee that everything will fit into those slots, but I will try very hard to stick to them!

However…they are NOT in sequential order. (I often make changes during the show!)

Songs by artists from 12PM-2:09 PM EDT should include

Helen O’Shea Music (Helen O’Shea), Randall Kromm (Randall Kromm), Bill Edwards, Cornell Kinderknecht Music (Cornell Kinderknecht), Greg Chako Music (Greg Chako) (His new album cover for “Standard Roots” is in the lower left corner of the banner!), The Romantics, DeeCRACKS, Connie Smith (Her new album cover is on the right side of the banner!), Mick Kolassa (Mick Kolassa), Laura Carbone (Laura Carbone)(The album cover for new album, “The Cycle,”is second from the left in the banner!), John Denver, Dave Dudley Fans, and more!!!

Songs by artists from 2PM-4PM EDT should include Bill Price (Bill Price), Billy Brandt, Maddy Ringo, Ann Wilson, Be Bop Deluxe & Bill Nelson (Bill Nelson) Duane Eddy, Annie & Rod Capps, Librarians With Hickeys, John Holk & the Sequins (They are playing the Cadieux Cafe in Detroit, Michigan on Thursday night!), Wendy Webb (Wendy Webb), Shaun Murphy (Shaun Murphy), The Regulators, The Chills, Tom Alter Music (Tom Alter), The Steve Taylor Three (Steve Taylor), Jo Serrapere (Jo Serrapere CDs release show for “The Beautiful Ones” is playing Trinity House Theatre in Livonia, Michigan, this Saturday!), Lime Garden and more!!!

So, grab some oxygen for that upper elevation air, get a friend to listen with, and come along for Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” from 12PM-4PM EDT with Phil Maq!!!
