Starting this Wednesday, February 9th, there will be another addition to the Attic!
“Theme Attic” that is!
Another additional 60 minutes will turn the show into a whopping 4 hours, from 12PM-4PM EST!
Hosted by DJ Phil Maq, “Theme Attic” is a multi genre show often loosely based on a subject, hence the name.
The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Metro Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!
“Theme Attic” has been a staple at the station for more than 11 years!
The show features a variety of music that seems to select itself. DJ Phil Maq then becomes the conduit for the songs to make its way to the station’s loyal listeners, providing his own quirky stories and info to connect the artists and tunes!
Along with musical subjects, “Theme Attic” has weekly Countdowns–for example, a Fave Albums List, and often features two!!
The expanded length will allow for more interviews as well as even more of the music created by independent artists that “Theme Attic” has become recognized for!
The rumor is that New Music Showcases, a recurring topic on the show, will be biggerer, too!
Phil Maq, when questioned by this reporter about that possibility, seemed visibly agitated about the query.
“Holy [bleep]!” was his initial response. “That’s like twice the size of what they used to be only a few months ago!”
After appearing to regain his composure, he slyly smiled, winked, and then added, That’s a whole mess of new music to be explored and debuted! I guess I better get busy!
Giving the expanded show opportunity a little more thought, Mr. Maq, the creator of the Philby Awards (Philbys are non time constrained annual awards for both songs and albums that are recognized for “brilliant musical achievements.), excitedly stated, “That means that, potentially, the Philby pool will be even larger! That’s great!
And they’ll plenty more times that local artists and favorites can be played! ”
After a pause, he continued, “Hey, that’s better than great! “More time on my show gets me closer to my goal of playing every song that’s worth playing, no matter when it was released, on the radio!”
That truly is one crazy, noble goal!
Judging by his prior track record and previous playlists, “Theme Attic” with Phil Maq, on Wednesdays between Noon and 4PM ET is anticipated to exceed expectations in both music, fun, and variety!
