I have a feature to recognize a slice of good music: The Most Awesomest Song of the Day!
Here’s a link to the complete list: https://philmaq.com/most-awesomest-songs/
I want to emphasize mostly, relatively newer music, just like on my weekly “Theme Attic” show, Wednesdays, from 1PM-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/!
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!”
But I can promise this: I will not force my selections. If something doesn’t hit me, I won’t post one.
Everything I do has always been about shining a spotlight on the artist and their music.
Now I will have the potential to shine 365 more spotlights if I want to!

Thanksgiving is over, so let’s move on to the next holiday.
Christmas you say?
Nah. Not even close!
Hold your candy canes!
It’s time to get prepared for Krampusnacht.
What is that you ask?
Well, I thought everyone was familiar with the half demon/half goat horned creature known to roam around central Europe on December 5th punishing children who misbehave.
Although much scarier in appearance, he doesn’t appear to wield power for as long a stretch of time as that weasel Elf on a Shelf stool pigeon.
Krampusnacht is the night of his annual visit.
Xposed 4Heads, that quirky Devo inspired band whom I’ve selected before, and can’t figure out if they’re from Milwaukee or Kansas City, have added a new song to the Krampus musical canon!
Mark G.E.: Vocals, Greg Barta: Guitar, Andy Stilin: Drums, Kelp Chofs: Keys, Backing Vocal, and Bob Jorin: Bass, Backing Vocal have not only released a catchy song based on a revolting creature, but they have released another one of those great low-fi videos that makes “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” look high tech!
And what’s not to like?
There’s demonic accordion, frauleins, beer steins, brats, lederhosen (scarily short), and a dude dancing with a giant bratwurst.
In other words, a splendid time is guaranteed for all, except, you know, those misbehaving kids!
The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “Dance With the Krampus” by Xposed 4Heads!!!
