Phil’s Faves: Albums, April 21, 2024

Posted on April 26, 2024 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 2:09” segment of my “Theme Attic Show,” Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET on mostly alternating weeks, along with my “Phil’s Faves, Songs” lists!

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/!

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.

There’s plenty of other musical things to browse!

A list that you might find interesting is my list for “The Most Awesomest Songs of the Day”: https://philmaq.com/most-awesomest-songs/!

If you’d like to know what I think are even better than the awesome songs, 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!”

My somewhat unusual Hall of Fame can be explored here: https://philmaq.com/hall-of-fame/!

Lastly, but most importantly, is my Philby Awards link! A Philby is my annual award for brilliant musical achievement! https://philmaq.com/philbys/!

Phil’s Faves: Songs, April 21, 2024

Posted on April 26, 2024 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 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/!

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!

A Very Special Radiothon on This Week’s “Theme Attic” with Guests Judy Banker and Roger Ponder, Wednesday 12PM-4PM EDT!!!

Posted on April 17, 2024 by PhilMaq

Every year, the post that I put together with the least amount of tags is the Radiothon Show that takes place on Wednesday’s “Theme Attic,” with Phil Maq from 12PM-4PM EDT!!!

That allows me to spend enough time with special guests like Judy Banker and Roger Ponder!
We are planning to do several songs (several???? What was I thinking???) in the studio and that kinda scares me.
I personally am planning two World Premieres of my own material!
A Top 9 at 12:09 Countdown of Phil’s Fave Albums for the week gets things started!
Numbers are pretty good: 2 artist debuts, 5 new releases, 2 World Premieres, 2 unreleased, 14 artists with SouthEast Michigan ties, and 3 singles!
But regardless of all of the bells and whistles of the great music I’m playing, the focus is on raising money for 89.3 WHFR.FM!
We only ask for donations once a year, and I need to do my share. And I’m hoping you (Yes, you!) can help me!
Here’s the phone number: 313- 845-9676 then #1 when connected!
We can take down your info and I will make sure that you get incentive items!
However, you can also go to whfr.fm and donate online! If you do it this way, call in to the number that I posted to let me know so that I can personally thank you!
I do what I do every week for free. A donation to the station helps to prove to me that I may be crazy, but together we are collectively crazy!
Yeah! Music does that to ya!
So, here’s hoping for a GREAT Day!
And any size donation is welcome!
Seriously, please consider making a donation!
So, grab the cookie jar to make a donation, get a friend or two to listen with, and come along for Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” from 12PM-4PM EDT with Phil Maq!!!
The STATION’S NEW ANTENNA AND TRANSMITTER MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO HEAR THE SHOW ALL OVER THE METRO DEARBORN-DETROIT AREA BY TUNING INTO 89.3 WHFR.FM!!!

The 2023 Philbys are returning from Spring Break!
Not really.
However, the Philbys are always ready to take to the airwaves!
This Wednesday, the Philby Hot 100 Songs of 2023 Countdown picks up where they left off, #60-41, with host Phil Maq on “Theme Attic” from 12PM-4PM EST!!!
A Philby is my online award for “brilliant musical achievement!”
Not only that, the show kicks off with a Top 9 at 12:09 Countdown of this week’s Fave Albums!

The Philbys will start around 1:15 PM EDT!
The following Philby winning artists will be featured: Nalani Rothrock (Nalani Rothrock), The Wildwoods (Chloe Pinkman Gose, Noah Gose, Andrew Vaggalis), The Steve Taylor Three (Steve Taylor, Bryan Frink, Carey Weaver), Martin Kohn, Voxanna (Voxanna is playing River’s Edge Brewing Co.
