Phil’s Faves: Albums, December 3, 2017

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,” (Mondays, 8P-10P ET) on alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Songs” lists!

There’s also a new “Top 9 at 3:09” on Wednesday afternoons on my “Mid Day Theme Attic Show” from 2p-4P ET that does the list that wasn’t featured on “Prime Time Theme Attic that week! (Whew!)

They may also turn up on my “Theme Attic Show,” (Wednesdays, 10A-12N ET)

Here’s a link:

Listen live: www.whfr.fm/images/stream_audio.html

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.

Phil’s Faves: Songs, December 3, 2017

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 shows, “Theme Attic,” heard Wednesdays, 10A-12N ET, or “Prime Time Theme Attic,” heard Mondays, 8P-10P ET!

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 alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Albums” lists!

There’s also a new “Top 9 at 3:09” on Wednesday afternoons on my “Mid Day Theme Attic Show” from 2p-4P ET that does the list that wasn’t featured on “Prime Time Theme Attic that week! (Whew!)

Fall New Music Showcase Pt. 4, Mid Day Theme Attic, Wednesday, December 6th, 2PM-4PM ET!!!

Kenny Tudrick (pictured above with me) has been a part of the music scene for many years! While working with artists as diverse as Kid Rock, King Tuff, The Detroit Cobras, and Samantha Fish, the talented multi-instrumentalist works on his own worthy projects. This includes albums he’s recorded (“KT” pictured above), as well as artists he’s produced like Todd Albright‘s “Detroit Twelve String Blues and Rags!” (pictured above). I will feature both albums on my “Mid Day Theme Attic” with Phil Maq, Wednesday afternoon from 2PM-4PM ET, right after “Afternoon Jazz” with Mr. Jags from Noon-2PM ET!

After The Fall New Music Showcase, Pt.4 ends, there will be a “Top 9 at 3:09” countdown!

Songs by other artists on the show will include Giles Hayter and Diane Macedo, Jeff Healey, Gogol Bordello, American Housewife, Bobby Pennock and Shannon Lee, Laura Rain and The Caesars, Alison Krauss, Dave Caruso Music, The Hangabouts with Molly Felder of Swan Dive, Dirty Bourbon River Show, Effort Award, Nora Jane Struthers and The Party Line, Circus of the West, Joe Matzzie Nation, Katherine Moller, and more!!!
