Columbia House Revisited with Phil Maq on Monday’s Rollin’ and Tumblin’ Take 2, 4PM-6PM EST!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Calling all hippies, pseudo-hippies, former hippies, wannabe hippies, or folks that just like FM type music from mostly 1969-1970+!!!
Monday’s “Rollin’ and Tumblin’ Take 2” from 4PM-6PM EDT, will have substitute host Phil Maq digging deep in the archives!
And time permitting, I will really scratch the surface (Ha, ha!) of “Phil Maq’s Staq’s of Waq’s!”
Going forward, that is how I will refer to my vinyl collection!
There will be numerous personal stories and memories from a very developmental musical period of my life: My Columbia House connection!
So much music, so little time, but I intend to have fun visiting my past!
So, grab a pair of Aztec bellbottoms, get a friend to listen with, and come along for Monday’s “Rollin’ and Tumblin’ Take 2” from 4PM-6PM EDT with substitute host Phil Maq!!!

Phil’s Faves: Albums, March 17, 2024

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, March 17, 2024

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!

It’s a Calendar Spring, Le Nain Rouge, Shangri-La, Full Moon Kind of “Theme Attic,” Wednesday, 12PM-4PM EDT!!!

Yipee!
It’s the first day of Spring!
Ha!
Have you looked outside yet?
Where I’m at, it’s snowing right now!
That’s why Wednesday’s “Theme Attic” with host Phil Maq from 12PM-4PM EDT is called, “It’s a Calendar Spring, Le Nain Rouge, Shangri-La, Full Moon Kind of “Theme Attic!”
I chose to do a Spring show because this date will probably be the earliest I’ll ever get to do one.
But, hey. Who am I kiddin’?
This doesn’t feel like spring so I will only briefly touch on it and then move on.
Daffodils will definitely be discussed!
But that’s OK because I have several other subjects to highlight!
Like the annual Le Nain Rouge parade this weekend!
The idea is to have a party to keep the evil spirit away from our fair city!
I’ve never been to it, but I envision the celebration to be a cross between Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day!
There’s some pretty good music there!
Another Full Moon is almost on the horizon! This time it’s the Worm one.
I’ll stick to moon songs, thank you!
For Women’s History Month, a new inductee is going into the “Theme Attic Hall of Fame”: The Shangri-Las–a very influential “Girls Group!”
Throw in a Top 9 at 2:09 Weekly Albums Countdown and potentially two World Premieres, well, that’s a lot for just one little ol’ show!
Stats are pretty good: 9 artist debuts, 8 new releases, 2 world premieres, 1 unreleased, 16 (Sixteen!) artists with SouthEast Michigan ties, 4 singles!
I will divide the tags into sections, but they will only be an estimate.
I can’t guarantee that everything will fit into those slots, but I will try very hard to stick to them!
However…they are NOT in sequential order. (I often make changes during the show!)
Songs by artists from 12PM-2:09 PM EST should include Anemone, Big State (Their “Viva Ne’er Do Wells” album cover is just left of center in the banner!), Vicky Emerson, Stella, Abbie Thomas Music (Her album cover for “Dirty Little Things” is just right of center in the banner!), Peach and Quiet, Jaime Michaels, Greg Chako Music with Albina Anneken and Kaleb James (Greg‘s “Friends…Old and New” album cover is second from the left in the banner!), Kate Nash, Henry Ford Big Band Supporters & Friends, Linden Thoburn, Katherine Moller, The Shangri-Las and more!!!
Songs by artists from 2PM-4PM EDT should include Wolf B. Reuter, Sarah Morris, Bobby Pennock, Jeremy Facknitz, HebbaJebba (Their self titled album cover is on the left in the banner!)(Ted Hajnasiewicz), Voxanna, Kate Hinote Music (Voxanna and the Kate Hinote Trio are playing 20 Front Street in Lake Orion, Michigan this Tuesday!)(Kate Hinote), Le Vent du Nord, Mikaela Davis, Wendy Webb, Maddy Ringo Mike Ward: PsychoSongs, Nobody’s Business, Jay Stielstra with Judith Banker (Maddy, Mike Ward, Nobody’s Business, and Judy Banker , will be playing Funky Rivertown Fest this Saturday in Ypsilanti, Michigan!), Christopher Gipson (His self titled album cover is second from the right in the banner!), Tom Curless, Carolyn Striho, Tina Ross, John Finan, Corndaddy (Kevin Brown of Corndaddy and John Finan are playing Funky Rivertown Fest Wednesday night, tonight, in Ypsilanti , Michigan!), Annie Capps, and more!!!
So, gather your Winter coat, get a friend 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!

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!

There’s plenty of 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 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/!
