Phil’s Faves: Songs, August 15, 2021

Posted on August 20, 2021 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, “Theme Attic,” heard 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/!

This list forms the basis of my countdown list on the “Top 9 at 2:09” segment of my show on mostly alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Albums” lists!

Here’s a link for the complete history of all the Fave Songs:

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello!!!”

Posted on August 17, 2021 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 12PM-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!

Remembering Elvis Presley on the anniversary of his passing, I’ve decided to focus attention on one of his more obscure singles.

Why would I do that?

Because this is probably in my Top 10 favorite Elvis songs!

I didn’t hear “Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello” until many years after he was gone.

It might just be the wimpiest song that Elvis ever recorded–and that is exactly why I like it!

It’s like an alternative universe Elvis song!

In addition, it hasn’t been overplayed!

Showing himself to be vulnerable as Jim, who doesn’t have enough nerve to express his unrequited love, he suppresses his feelings and decides to just settle for a “Hello.”

The arrangement is very low key and includes vibes (vibes!?) played by Grady Martin.

But there’s also Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana, Floyd Cramer, and The Jordanaires to provide support for a great Elvis vocal on a Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller song!

Released on July 17, 1962 and making it only to #55 on Billboard, “Hello” still sold 800,000 copies because the original B-side was “She’s Not You” which reached #5 once they started playing it.

The song eventually wound up on “Elvis’ Gold Records Vol. 4.”

I must have gotten hooked an alternate take because I don’t recall the song having the percussive track.

But that’s OK.

Elvis still makes a somewhat average song sound great!

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded is “Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello” by Elvis Presley!!!

Phil’s Faves: Albums, August 8, 2021

Posted on August 12, 2021 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 3:09” segment of my “Theme Attic Show,” Wednesdays 2PM-4PM ET 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.

Posted on August 11, 2021 by PhilMaq

Over the years, I have been a member of at least two record clubs, two cassette clubs, and two CD clubs.

I rarely ordered 1 item, although that was OK, too.
Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” with Phil Maq from 2PM-4:30PM EDT, will be Pt.2 of the 2021 Summer New Music Showcase!
I try to bring that sense of wonderment to the show where everything I debut is either a new album, a new artist to the show, and sometimes both!!

Songs by artists on the show will include Kid Gulliver, Jimmy Carpenter, The Goldsberrys, Turkuaz, DIRK KROLL BAND (Their Album cover for “Would It Be the Same” is in the middle of the banner towards the right!), Dolph Chaney, Heather Pierson, unreleased Billy Brandt with Elaine Schoendorf, Jon Shain and FJ Ventre (Their album cover for “Never Found the Way to Tame the Blues” is in the banner, second from the right!), Michael Jonathon, Victor V. Gurbo & Co., Tommy Z (His album cover for “Plug In and Play” is in the banner, on the right!), Eric Gnezda – Songwriter and Speaker, Joanna Connor Band, The Armoires (Their album cover for “Incognito” is just to the left of center in the banner!)(Big Stir Records), Joe Peters & Friends, Emily Kinney Music, George Stephen Kelly (His new album cover for “Discount Cowboy” is in the banner on the left!), Popular Creeps, Carl Caballero, Laura Rain and The Caesars, Nicollette Sullivan (Her album cover is second from the left on the banner!), Marvin Etzioni, Helene Cronin Music, ThorNton Creek, Justin Sullivan, Randy Cherkis, Kelsey Waldon, Nigel Hall, @Lucero, and King Ropes!!!
