Phil’s Faves: Songs, February 26, 2017

Posted on March 6, 2017 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 shows, “Theme Attic,” heard Wednesdays, 10A-12N ET, or “Prime Time Theme Attic,” heard Mondays, 8P-11P 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!

Phil’s Faves: Albums, February 19, 2017

Posted on February 27, 2017 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,” (Mondays, 8P-10P ET) on alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Songs” lists!

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.

Looking for In-Studio Guests for My WHFR Radiothon Shows!!!

Posted on February 2, 2017 by PhilMaq

Hello, my musician and/or music peeps!

The 2017 WHFR Radiothon is fast approaching and I would like to have special guests with me in the studio in Dearborn, Michigan. The sooner I can plan to have someone with me, the more promoting I can do for the show.

I have two time slots available: Monday night March 20 from 8PM-10PM, and Wednesday morning March 22 from 10AM-12 Noon.

Whoever is interested should be prepared to trade whimsical dialogue about music and some slight grovelling for station donations.

I would prefer someone who hasn’t sat in with me before, but don’t let that keep you from expressing your interest. You can email me at phil@philmaq.com, or message me on Facebook at Phil Maq,

This is a great opportunity to help a good cause, get some free publicity and have some fun! And, if you can’t join me in the studio and you’d like to donate to Radiothon 2017, I’ll be posting details on Facebook.

Thanks for listening!
