Phil’s Faves: Albums, November 20, 2022

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.

Here’s the link to the complete history of all the Fave Albums: https://philmaq.com/phils-lists/phils-faves-albums/!

There’s plenty of other musical things to browse!

Phil’s Faves: Songs, November 20, 2022

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!

“Theme Attic” Thanksgiving, Thursday, 10AM-2PM EST!!!

Well, the prairie dog is wearing a pilgrim hat so it must be Thanksgiving!
An annual tradition is Thanksgiving “Theme Attic” with host Phil Maq, Thursday from 10AM-2PM EST!!!
The main course (theme) is Thanksgiving in general! Side dishes (smaller themes) help to make it an all encompassing attempt at variety!!!
I will even crack open a couple of holiday tunes!
I’m including a blurb that I wrote for the station:
It’s the 11th Annual Theme Attic Thanksgiving Day Show!!!
When everyone is preparing to gather for Thanksgiving Day, be kind and include WHFR! Theme Attic—a show normally heard on Wednesdays, continues a Holiday tradition for the 11th time Thursday from 10AM-2PM EST!!! Host Phil Maq will provide a musical main course that’s loosley based on some Thanksgiving Day subjects along with some side orders that include several musical styles—some are local, and one will be a very tasty Top 9 at 11:09 Countdown! Join in the fun and take us along!!!
Stats are pretty good for a recurring Thanksgiving show: 3 artist debuts, 5 new releases, and 16 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!
And…they are NOT in chronological order.
So grab a slice of French Silk pie, get a friend or two to listen with, and come along for the ride on this Thursday’s “Theme Attic” from 10AM-2PM EST with Phil Maq!!!
OUR NEW ANTENNA AND TRANSMITTER MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO HEAR THE SHOW ALL OVER THE METRO DEARBORN-DETROIT AREA BY TUNING INTO 89.3 WHFR.FM!
However, you can also stream the show from the “listen live button” on the www.WHFR.FM website, by the TuneIn App, Simple Radio App, download the 89.3 WHFR.FM android app from our website homepage, or ask Alexa to find it for you!
