Another season is ready to pass on to the next one.
And that means Philby season is getting closer!
I don’t know exactly what format or how they will be presented, but they will be presented!
I do know that my string of listening to 3,000 albums every year will sadly be coming to an end.
It will still be over 1,000, but I’m not sure how far over.
Since all normalcy is out of alignment, I’m thinking of opening the doors to more than just the sliding window of 2017-2020.
I’m thinking of doing it for next year, too!
There will be another update or two regarding that in a future post.
The next section describes how to get my attention!

I am accepting entries for Philby consideration!
So, if you’ve made some music dating back as far as 2017, I will accept that music for consideration.
If you have something older than 2016, send that, too, but identify the release date. I’m always looking for GREAT music.
For the Philbys, I’m looking for full albums.
However, if you only have a single, I’ll accept that, too. Don’t forget that I also have a Philby Hot Songs list, and more artists are releasing singles these days.
But please don’t send me an incomplete album if you have a full one.
Please don’t edit for me.
I hate that and I might not even check out the item. I don’t know why anyone would only send selected songs instead of their whole work of art for consideration.
Please don’t send me links to listen to music. That’s not how I listen to music. And I probably won’t listen to it if you send me a link to stream it. Either send me the album to download or request my mailing address to send a physical copy.
I usually say that if your item came out later than May, it may not end up on this year’s list.
This year will be totally different than other years. I have not received any where near the amount of releases that I normally do.
It might be an excellent year to send a submission.
I will accept any genre of music. I like a variety of styles, even on the same album!
So, please e-mail your mp3s, and please make sure it is an mp3 only, to phil@philmaq.com.
If you want a physical address or have other questions, please e-mail me at the same address. Because selections will be considered for more than a single year, there isn’t an expiration date at the present.
If you want someone who will actually listen to your music, I am that person.
If you want some recognition for working hard and baring your soul, that might be me, too. I can’t make any promises, but I will listen to your music.
If you are reading this and are not a musician but know someone who is, please forward this to them.
Good luck to all who participate!

My weekly radio show “Prime Time Theme Attic,” can be heard Mondays, 8P-10P ET when it returns.
(Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu)
It almost always includes a weekly countdown of my favorite albums or songs and some shows feature two countdowns!
