Phil’s Faves: Albums, March 10, 2024

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!”

Phil’s Faves: Songs, March 10, 2024

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!

It’s the 2024 Winter New Music Showcase #3, on Wednesday’s “Theme Attic,” 12PM-4PM EST!!!

The show theme has changed for this week!
I have decided to do a third Winter New Music Showcase on Wednesday’s “Theme Attic,” 12PM-4PM EST with Phil Maq!!!
The format for a Showcase is to play one song per artist.
Most of the music is new releases, but there is a segment called Rescued Record Roulette where I feature music I have overlooked.
And the fun also highlights this week’s Faves Album Countdown Top 9 at 2:09!
That all adds up to a wide variety of music and artists to explore!
You know. Like I do pretty much every week!
Stats are close to the max for the show: 28 artist debuts, 33 new releases, 1 world premiere, 9 artists with Southeast Michigan ties, and 9 singles!
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 EST should include The Terrys, Church of Trees, Memoryfield (Their new album is second from the right in the banner!))(Billy R. Preston), Ivytide, Ag Weinberger (AG Weinberger), Bad RIVER, Mick Clarke (His new album cover, “The Blues, Man, Rides Again!” is on the right in the banner!), Ethan Larsh Music (Ethan Larsh), Chapell, Gurriers, Kazy Lambist, Roots of Creation, Stuck In The Sound, J. Bernardt, WILL LAUT, Ponte Pilas, Greg Jacquin, and more!!!
Songs by artists from 2PM-4PM EST include Jay Stielstra Trio with Judy Banker (Jay sadly passed away a few days ago. The album cover for “Don’t Let Me Down Easy” is on the left in the banner!)(Barbara Schmid), Voxanna (Billy Brandt, Elaine Schoendorf, Kerry Gluckman), Joe Kidd & Sheila Burke, Head Full of Ghosts (Their album cover is right of center in the banner!)(James Henes), Enda Reilly, Annie Capps, Mikaela Davis, Shplang (Their “Thank you Valued Customer” album cover is second from the left in the banner!)(Big Stir Records), Steve Taylor, Junior Watson with Lisa Leuschner Andersen, J. Michael & The Heavy Burden (David Roof, Shannon Lee), Adam Plomaritas, Chad Traxler Music, Plantoid, Territorial Chant (Enzo Duva)(Their album cover for “Territorial Chant VII” is left of center in the banner!), Howlin’ Jaws, and more!!!
So, be prepared to take some notes, get a friend to listen with, and come along for Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” from 12PM-4PM EST with Phil Maq!!!
The STATION’S 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!

The Calendar Slows Down As Time Takes a Leap on Wednesday’s “Theme Attic,” 12PM-4PM EST!!!

I don’t know if anyone else is having any internet issues, nut I am.
It has made this morning a frustrating one, and that makes time seem both longer and shorter.
That kind of leads up to this week’s underlying theme: how we control the concept of time.
I do want to point out that “time” is not this week’s theme. It is the way that we think we control our world, yet actually can’t exert any control over it.
So, this Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” with host Phil Maq from 12PM-4PM EST will attempt to provide an illusion as he divides the show into a “leap” section, a new “Top 9 at 2:09” Songs Countdown for this week, a new Hall of Fame inductee: Mickey and Sylvia, a few more takes on Black History Month, and plenty of other life perspectives!
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!)
13 artists with Southeast Michigan ties on today’s show!
Songs by artists between 12PM-209 PM EST should include Dog Sisters, Dave Solo, The Woolies (Bob Baldori), The Interrupters, The Electromagnates (Big Stir Records), Lasses Rogers Band, Alejandro Escovedo, Henry Ford Big Band Supporters & Friends, Jordyn Pepper, Sebadoh, Mickey and Sylvia, Tom Alter Music (His new album cover for “Dispatch from the Lesser Middle is on the left in the banner!) (Tom Alter), Greg Chako Music (Greg Chako) (His album cover for “A Place for Bass” is just left of center in the banner!), Al Jacquez (His album cover for “The Blues According to the Gospel” is just right of center in the banner!), and many more!!!
Songs by artists from 2PM-4PM EST Should include Madi Diaz, Katy Kirby (Katy Kirby), Jeff Scott, Kenny Young and the Eggplants (Kenny Young, Dirt Road Sweetheart (Nora Jane Overton), Bill Grogan’s Goat, Gerard Smith, Jude Closson), a new unreleased Mark Jewett Music with The Accidentals song!, Jon Shain (Jon Shain), Sigrid Christiansen, The Joedai Warriors with Linda Hicks (Joe Peters & Friends), Abraham Jam (David LaMotte, Billy Jonas) (Their album cover for “White Moon” ks in the center of the banner!), Barker & Broski (Michael Snyder-Barker, Chris Broski), Chris Richards and the Subtractions (Chris Richards), and more!!!
So, grab a flux capacitor, get a friend to listen with, and come along for Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” from 12PM-4PM EST with Phil Maq!!!

Phil’s Faves: Albums, February 18, 2024

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/!
