The Most Awesomest Song of the Day: “The Way You Do” by Nell and Jim Band!!!

Posted on September 12, 2020 by PhilMaq

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 Monday night show, “Prime Time Theme Attic.” (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET when it returns.)

Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu )

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!

Please share the post to help spread the word!

Regardless of everything going on in the world that is way more important than my daily post, I will continue, nonetheless, in case someone is looking for a few minutes of respite.

Normally my selection of the day is a song that’s been on my player for awhile.

I like to absorb music and let it sink into my body and my brain.

However, I thought it might be fun to pick a first impression song.

I just added “The Way You Do” by Nell and Jim Band from their “Steel” album.

Although it mentions Spring, we’ll overlook that because the playful duet by Nell Robinson and Jim Nunnaly is just too hard to resist!

The earthy accordion and tasty flute solo are like a cool breeze on a hot summer day!

“The Way You Do” made a sweet first impression on me!

The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “The Way You Do” by Nell and Jim Band!!!

Phil’s Faves: Albums, September 6, 2020

Posted on September 11, 2020 by PhilMaq

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 9:09” segment of my “Prime Time Theme Attic Show,” (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET when it returns.)

(Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu)) on mostly alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Songs” lists!

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.

Philby Award winning artist Sugar Snow released, “Woodface Reimagined“ last year.

It was a reimagining of Crowded House’s “Woodface” album.

Trying on a variety of musical arrangements, the approach works!

Lead singer Simone Berk comes across like a nervous teen trying on different styles of clothes in a fitting room looking for that “perfect outfit!”

And all of them fit!

“Whispers and Moans” rocks right from the drum-twin lead guitar intro and doesn’t let up!

The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “Whispers and Moans” by Sugar Snow!!!

Phil’s Faves: Songs, September 6, 2020

Posted on September 10, 2020 by PhilMaq

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, “Prime Time Theme Attic,” currently on hiatus. (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET)

(Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu)

This list forms the basis of my countdown list on the “Top 9 at 9:09” segment of my “Prime Time Theme Attic Show” on mostly alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Albums” lists!

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: ABC Boogie by Bill Haley and The Comets!!!

Posted on September 9, 2020 by PhilMaq

For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)

I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.

Well, now I’m getting around to it!

My radio show, “Theme Attic,”  is on Wednesdays 2PM-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/!

The Greatest Songs will pretty much follow the pattern of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.

I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.

Here’s a link to 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!”

Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!

But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.

I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.

This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey!

Every year I do a Back to School show.

I am always listening to music, and the challenge for an annual show, is to find a good mixture of songs I haven’t played before.

However, there are a few favorite tunes that find their way back on to the playlist.

“ABC Boogie” by Bill Haley and His Comets is one of those songs!

It’s difficult to resist the rockabilly innocence of a song by one of the early legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll, featuring a teacher from Basin street, that not only teaches standard subjects, but uses music to do it!

I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

Here’s a song that I try to play on every Labor Day Show.

It’s one of my personal favorites that I’m really attached to!

When Dire Straits [Hall of Fame] released their “Love Over Gold” album in 1982 (Only five (5?!) songs!), the band had experienced some major successes, but hadn’t really developed that mass following that they would encounter when they released their next mega smash album, “Brothers in Arms!”

“Love Over Gold” was released when most of the First World Industrial countries were experiencing recessions. There was a lot of speculation that the best days were starting to show up in the rear view mirror for those countries.

Mark Knopfler, lead guitarist of Dire Straits, wrote some of his best lyrics for “Industrial Disease!”

The song doesn’t have a chorus except for the words “Industrial Disease,” a la “Paperback Writer” by The Beatles, but uses an amazingly catchy keyboard riff from Alan Clarke on organ and piano. Knopfler supplies some strategic noodling, accented by machine type sound effects!

“Industrial Disease” narrates a decaying factory world where both workers and machines are falling apart.

The workers suffer from several maladies that include “brewer’s droop” from drinking beer, to “Bette Davis knees!” (Music tidbit: Brewer’s Droop was the name of a band that Knopfler played in prior to Dire Straits!)

The listener gets pulled through economic discussions, media, and politics! There’s a protest singer that sounds a lot like Bob Dylan, and worker sabotage with a “spanner.” (A wrench)

Apparently, there’s also two doomsday religious preachers arguing with each other that includes some of my favorite lines in music:

“Two men say they’re Jesus/
One of them must be wrong!”

As the song reaches the end, we find out that

 “Meanwhile, the first Jesus says ‘I’d cure it soon/
Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.’
The other one’s on a hunger strike he’s dying by degrees/
How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease?”

Amen to that!

I’ve chosen the lyric video because I find the vocal difficult to follow some times.

The lyrics are mostly correct.

I salute all laborers and the insanity of having to spend a life working in the system!

The Most Awesomest Song of the Day: “Me Time” by Grant Maloy Smith!!!

This is another selection that is self explanatory!

Philby Award winning singer/songwriter, Grant Maloy Smith, put out an incredible album with slice of life Americana songs, called, “Dust Bowl!”  The songs captured real life historic situations from the tragic Plains era history.

However, there is one joyously happy song on the album!

Anybody who works for a living automatically knows what it is like to NOT have to go in to work.

Since working schedules vary in the labor market, an employee may not always get a weekend off. But whatever day or days you get off, is your downtime.

Grant brings that feeling to life in “Me Time,” where the fiddles dance and everything’s fine for awhile!

Some songs don’t need a lengthy description!

If Labor Day Weekend ever needed an anthem, “Workin’ for a Livin” by Huey Lewis and The News off of their “Picture This” album, would be near the top of the list, if not the outright #1 choice!

“Workin'” is a tight, hard drivin’ blues rocker that was pretty much where the band was at the time. They were striving to get their big break, but hadn’t been very successful. However, all of that effort was building up a  performance street cred that they could hang with anyone live!

Huey‘s rough vocal and smokin’ harp solo are the perfect fit for a song that salutes as many trades as they could fit in–including a shout out to the often neglected “ladies of the night!” 😉

This song is always a staple on my Labor Day Show!

The video is a pleasant flashback, too! The band looks like it truly was their “salad days” by how skinny they were!

How ’bout some Friday Music Fun?

It’s the last Summer Holiday of the year,  the weather looks like it will mostly cooperate, so it might be time to take the bike out for a ride!

Philby Award winner Dave Solo, has the perfect cycle song, “The Ride” from his “December 32nd,” album because, well, it’s about him riding his bike!

But it’s more than that because Dave is thinking about the time he might not be able to ride anymore. He intends to savor every moment of the ones he has left!

“The Ride” sounds like something you might find as a bonus track on a re release by The Who!

Dave is assisted by some great Donn Deniston drumming that keeps things rock ‘n’ rollin, and some Mike Gentry guitar magic as he steps up his role as a participating producer!

The song is also currently on my weekly Faves List!

The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “The Ride” by Dave Solo!!!
