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!
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.

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!
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!

Last week, an important date passed that I want to recognize: I just had a twelfth Anniversary for philmaq.com!
Yes, that’s right!
Its been twelve years since, after many years of some immediate family members suggesting that I put my rambling, sometimes cohesive, thoughts into the world.
I remember staring at a blank digital page before I started typing my first digital words and thinking, “How do I put those thoughts into some kind of shape?”
Well, I toughed it out through that first post, and felt pretty good about it…until I felt I should do a second one!
Eventually, it became easier, as I developed a consistent pattern that emphasizes mostly new music, while respecting the legacy music that contributes to the artists making their new music.
I also like working a timeframe that is consistent, but is my own creation, so I am not trapped by the constraints of time.
Anyway, it works for me.
My continuing effort–the same it has pretty much been my whole life, is to keep bringing attention to music and artists that deserve attention, but are not getting it.
Before I became a DJ, I campaigned, in the same way, with my friends about my new musical “discoveries.”
Apparently, using my microphone and website to recognize artists and their works of art has been appreciated by many!
Recently, I told someone that I’m like the promoter you never hired!
Yeah, it’s a big self pat on the back for me, but I feel it’s somewhat accurate.
In the next sentence, though, I’m not saying I’m anything special.
However, I’m still the same music obsessed person I’ve always been!
As time continues to pass, I am happy to reflect upon the growing number of artists that have thanked me in their liner notes.
That is amazing to me, and I consider it to be the highest compliment that a musician can bestow upon me in my position as a DJ!
In fact, a couple of things happened in the past couple of weeks that triggered my memory in this area.
Sultans of String were awarded two Junos (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys)!!
They have appeared twice live in the studio on my show as well as once for a phone interview!
So, it took awhile for the rest of the world to catch up, but Sultans of String acknowledged me early on!
Congratulations to them for their Juno award winning album, “Sanctuary!”
Another artist, Mike Ward: Psychosongs, has just released a new album, “Love Never Rests” (the cover is on the bottom on the right in the banner!), that gave me a shout out!
I am a huge liner notes reader, and it never gets old to stumble upon one’s name in the notes!
It’s an album from a singer/songwriter who continuously hones his craft and raises his own bar for each new release!
Here are some other artists that have mentioned me!:
I’ve been playing Joanie Leeds for almost as long as I’ve been a DJ!
Joanie won a Grammy in 2021 (announced by Dua Lipa!) for her all female album, “All the Ladies!”
I received my acknowledgment in her album, “Bandwagon!” (The cover of the album is second from the left in the banner!), which was released in 2013!
Joanie‘s song “Falling,” was my 2013 (Pre Philbys!) Best Song winner!
She has begun working on a follow up to “Ladies,” and I can’t wait to hear it!
At the end of 2021, Tom Curless released an album called “Person of Interest!”
Performing in several bands–all of them rockin’!, Tom is a multiple Philby Award winner and gave me a “Thank You!” in the liner notes!
It was unexpected and much appreciated!
And finally (for this moment), Nora Jane Struthers won my 2015 Album of the Year with her “Wake” album!
I got an acknowledgment in her 2017 release, “Champion!” (The album cover is in the upper left corner of the banner!)
She has a large catalog filled with excellent songs and albums!
Looking at this short, but supremely talented, list of artists, I am pleased for yet more reasons:
There’s a variety of music as well as artists both local as well as from other countries!
It makes me happy just looking at it!
There’s major award winners!
And the door is still open for the other artists to receive the same!
I don’t normally “beat my own drum” when it comes to these wonderful thoughts that I’ve been lucky enough to be included in, but I see the musicians giving me a “Thank You,” as their own award to me!
Since I feel that I am in the trenches with the artists on their musical journey, I consider that mention to be a high honor!
I try to tag as many artists as I can for my shows, and it’s touching to receive it back!
If I have neglected others that have thanked me in a release, I blame it to a faulty memory.
Please remind me and I’ll do a follow up!
As I’ve said, each one is precious and meaningful to me, and I hope there is more in mine, and our, futures!

For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)
I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.
Well, now I’m getting around to it!
My radio show, “Theme Attic,” is on Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET.
I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.
Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!
But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.
I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.
This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey!

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
When I started thinking about this month’s Full Moon, “Moonlight Bay” by The Drifters popped into my head!
This is a perfect example of how it happens when I say, “I don’t pick the songs. The songs pick me!”
I don’t think I own a copy of this version of “Moonlight Bay,” but it’s not because I don’t have any Drifters‘ collections.
I happen to have at least two or three anthologies of their songs.
It’s because the companies releasing the collections don’t usually put it in with the other songs when putting together a compilation.
And there have been many of those over the years!
Probably the reason why it’s usually missing is because it was a B-side.
Another reason why it’s often missing is because “Moonlight Bay” is an old standard–a song that has been covered by countless numbers of artists since it was published in 1912.
The Drifters’ version was released as the flip side of the 45 single, “Drip Drop,” a fine song on its own!
That was the hit, and I liked it, too!
However, “Moonlight Bay” is what’s imprinted on my brain!
Going back even further than what I own(ed), I don’t remember the record even being in my house as a kid.
That means it had to be a neighbor up the street, which makes my memories of the song even more amazing because I had neither access, nor control of hearing it!
Certainly, most people in charge of the music would probably rather listen to “Drip Drop.”
The single was released in 1957, which means it was several years afterwards that I heard it for the first time.
That’s would be odd, too.
All I can think of, is when someone put a stack of 45s on the spindle, “Moonlight Bay” was put on accidentally.
It happened occasionally.
I remember many times where one of my brothers, sisters, or whomever would say, “Whoops. I put on the wrong side.”
And since it was a standard song, Doris Day even starred in a “Moonlight Bay” movie, it probably was covered on a variety show or two where I at least heard a version of it.
Maybe I even heard it at a wedding or a party played by a live band.
I’ve always been interested in music!
So, I’m pretty sure I knew the neighbor had it and “Moonlight Bay” was probably my first song request.
And for me, all of the reasons why I liked the song, others probably didn’t.
Well, at least it doesn’t sound like any of their hit songs!
“Moonlight Bay” by The Drifters sounds like it’s sung by a fairly hip Gospel choir instead of the group.
Yeah, there’s sax on the song, but it’s not an incendiary solo like there normally would be.
In fact, it sounds like several of them playing in harmony, almost, but not quite, like a take on Billy Vaughn’s “Sail Along Silv’ry Moon.”
They did deliver a very jive sounding instrumental section!
But that wasn’t released until the next year, so, maybe The Drifter’s arrangement was an inspiration for that song, which is also One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!
I’m going to include it for a comparison listen, but that song desrves its own post.
Not until the fade out does the song even resemble a Drifters’ song, with a doo wop vocal on “Blip blip blip blip/blip blip blip blip…” until it’s gone.
I think my fascination with “Moonlight Bay” is the drumming!
First, it’s mostly on the hi-hat.
There weren’t many songs growing up that featured that kind of playing.
ILOVE CYMBALS!
That’s pretty much why I got interested in playing drums.
Also, the rhythm was different!
Although “Moonlight Bay” was an old standard, the rhythm on The Drifters recording was like an island beat, or maybe even an early version of rocksteady!
Truly amazing and fascinating to a certain perceptive toddler!
At least someone heard my request back then and paid attention because it got played!
It may have actually affected my life, and I thank that person for doing so!
One last thing: I looked at Wikipedia to verify my memory that “Moonlight Bay” was the flip side of “Drip Drop.”
They have a page for “Moonlight Bay” including memorable versions of the song.
That page does not include The Drifters’ version as being one of those.
Ha!
Little do they know that One of The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded is “Moonlight Bay” by The Drifters!!!
