 Summer Blue along with producers Jenny Leong, Daphne Matsumoto and Ashley Starr kept the Time Machine Christmas tradition with DJ Deron Furukawa's bake-a-thon that also included Kit Zulueta's skill with the ingredients that resulted in him stopping by during the broadcast immediately after letting the cookies cool out of the oven. Plus the added bonus of DJs Adam Waltemire and Jay J along with actress/singer-songwriter Mandy Moore and former windsurfing pro Sonja Evensen made the broadcast complete. Sonja windsurfed across the Molokai Channel not just one time but three separate journeys, "Once out of curiosity, once for a race, and once for transportation."   The Time Machine also featured three brand new Christmas songs from Marcella Detroit, Shonen Knife and Mimi Betinis. Joining both Marcella Detroit and Mimi Betinis with a worldwide broadcast debut last week was the reworking of the holiday classic "Winter Wonderland" into an island vibe just for Maui were Pamela Polland and Doc Roberts with "Maui Wonderland". The Time Machine Radio Crew were honored to feature these songs for the first time on the radio including "Keep A Light" from The Wellspring. The duo of Talia Osteen and Dov Rosenblatt will be releasing the upcoming album from The Wellspring in the Spring of 2012.

For the past two years, Dan and Emitt have kept The Time Machine Crew up to date upon Emitt's return into the recording studio with brand new songs to capture on tape with a new band. In addition to guitarist and singer-songwriter Dan Mayer, Emitt is joined by the co-founder of The Grass Roots and The Merry-Go-Round's drummer Joel Larson, co-founder and former bassist for Counting Crows, Matt Malley, and guitarist Jim Rolfe. Icing on the musical cake comes from legendary guitarist Richard Thompson, whose band Fairport Convention covered Emitt's song "Time Will Show the Wiser" in 1967. Richard performs on the three songs heard on the broadcast plus Debbi Peterson and Vicki Peterson from The Bangles, who covered "Live" on their debut album on Columbia Records, which is one of Emitt's song from his Merry-Go-Round days. Emitt was also the subject matter of Italian director Cosimo Messeri's documentary "The One Man Beatles". The film was about Emitt Rhodes's vicissitudes: life, past, present, troubles and hopes. The movie was selected for the International Rome Film Festival 2009 and was nominated for the David di Donatello Award as Best Documentary of 2010. The Time Machine Crew were honored to give three new songs from Emitt Rhodes their world broadcast debut. The song titles heard anywhere for the very first time for this early November aircheck are listed below: "What's A Man To Do" "This Wall Between Us" "Just Me and You" Brand new music was also featured from Rachael Yamagata with her song "Miles On A Car".

  It's always a treat for The Time Machine Radio Crew to have Rachael on the broadcast as a guest. Rachael's vocals have graced Maui's FM dial for years as she continued to keep busy between each of her albums by co-writing and singing on albums of other artists. The list is long and varied; Duncan Sheik, Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Robin Danar, Mike Viola, Margaret Cho, Toots & The Maytals, Ben Lee, Graham Colton, Katherine McPhee, Rhett Miller, John Francis, Jill Cunniff, Dan Wilson, Bill Deasey, Ray LaMontagne, Chris Holmes, Ben Arthur, Jason Mraz, Bright Eyes and Mandy Moore...with so many music projects outside of her own, it appears that she will continue to be on our playlists for years to come (and hopefully we'll get a chance to hear her unreleased EP with Mike Viola of which three of the songs on the new album were originally written for).  Her debut release "Happenstance" produced by John Alagia kept pulling in our listeners and locking her status as "most played artist" right up until the end of 2007. Perfect timing for us because her sophomore double album release "Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart" was released in 2008. That album was produced by Mike Mogis (with a couple of songs produced by John Alagia) and it was an album worth the wait filled with many talented musicians like Kevin Salem, Michael Chaves, Daniel Clarke and Mark Goldenberg adding their musical gifts to the project.  Rachael's music has had a home on our playlists and in our hearts since her debut release. Be sure to pick up a copy of her first album, "Happenstance" and her second, "Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart". Rachael currently topped our airplay chart for 2010 with her song with Semisonic's Dan Wilson, "You Take My Troubles Away" and closed out the year with her yuletide song, "Baby Come Find Me At Christmas". This past year, "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday", Rachael's cover of the classic song from The Muppets where Gonzo sang around a campfire in 1979's "The Muppet Movie" has been embraced by The Time Machine staff and listeners to make it one of the most played songs of the year. The song saw its official release on Disney's tribute album "The Muppets: The Green Album" on August 23rd in preparation for Disney's November release of the Jason Segel film "The Muppet Movie". Other artists featured along with Rachael include; Weezer & Paramore’s Hayley Williams, OK Go, Sondre Lerche, Andrew Bird, Matt Nathanson, The Fray and My Morning Jacket.  Rachael's work with Ben Arthur and John Francis are featured on the broadcast. New music also featured on this aircheck include three wonderful covers from Maxi Dunn & Marty Rudnick with "Walk Right In", "Sweet And Tender Romance" from The Bangles and Joe Algeri & Maria Sokratis performing "Jackson". The new song "Keep Me Holding On" from The Wellingtons continues to garner airplay. Other artists heard on this Maui afternoon FM broadcast include; Elvis Costello, Margaret Cho, Blondie, Katherine McPhee, The Smith Bros., Foster The People, Parker McGee, Wilco and John Alagia.

The feature documentary with Nuance Pictures and Urbinder Documentaries is about the genocide of the Romani people during the Holocaust and their continuing marginalization and persecution in present day. This year at the Hawaii International Film Festival, the documentary has been nominated for the Halekulani Golden Orchid Award for Documentary Feature. The Roma have endured centuries of intolerance and persecution in Europe, most notably during the Holocaust, when an estimated 500,000 or more were murdered. "A People Uncounted" documents their culturally rich yet often difficult lives, and demonstrates how their present state has been deeply shaped by the tragedies of the past. This is the first feature-length film for director Aaron Yeger, producers Marc Swenker and Tom Rasky, and executive producer Lenny Binder. The film grew from a conversation between Rasky and Binder, both children of Holocaust survivors and their mutual friend, award-winning Romani musician Robi Botos, who went on to score the film. The film is edited by A.C.E. award-winning documentary filmmaker Kurt Engfehr (Fahrenheit 911, Bowling for Columbine). Filmed in 11 countries and featuring dozens of Roma—including Holocaust survivors, historians, activists and musicians—A People Uncounted brings the Romani history to life through the rich interplay of their poetry, music, and compelling first-hand accounts. As ethnic intolerance flares up once again across Europe, "A People Uncounted" sheds light on this unique culture while placing the Romani story within the larger context of the world’s legacy of racism and genocide. Aaron Yeger also discussed his upcoming projects including the role of co-director with Marc Swenker for "Chasing the King", a feature documentary about Chuck Berry and a quest for the real King of Rock and Roll, as well as a producer of "Fantastico!" a feature documentary about the rise of new Canadian fashion icon Bruno Ierullo. Aaron Yeger graduated from Ryerson University's School of Image Arts with a specialization in Film Production, where he received a number of awards including the Norman Jewison Filmmaker Award, the Harvey Hart Award for Directing, the J. L. Beaton Award for academic distinction, and two Universal Studios Scholarships in Filmmaking. The Time Machine Crew were honored to have a film maker of Aaron's caliber on the broadcast. New music heard on this Maui afternoon FM broadcast features artists Sarina Paris, Mike Viola and Rachael Yamagata. Video Below: Movie Preview For The Documentary "A People Uncounted"

Mike's music has long been on our playlists since the nineties.

 "I am in the studio. And when I say studio, I mean Alagia’s house that we’ve spent weeks reconverting into a studio – shipped gear, borrowed microphones, amps, guitars, a grand piano that is living in his bedroom because that’s where we get the best sound, vox mics that are housed in his shower for some natural reverb and of course the porch where I write this – a past scene of pre production jams complete with drums made out of cardboard beer cases and recycling bins, cellos stuck in wads of duck tape so as not to slip on the floor, a wurly set up by the table of receipts I’m calling ‘my office’ etc. I packed my car what seems like months ago chock full of air mattresses, giant breakfast skillets, keyboards, snow boots (unusable) and of course my diva tent – an 8 person banana yellow monstrosity that I’ve been sleeping in for some time now to carve out a little private space for moi as well as leave room for the house full of amazing musicians that have come to play." "There have been rounds of plumbers and air conditioner technicians, trips to Target for the inflatable pool that has since garnered a crop circle impression on the lawn for a mere $79.95, and thank you dad for the grill donation – let there be burgers."  "The cast is my dream team, the kind that has taken years to find and have histories with. We’ve been saying ‘there’s a lot of love in the room’ and there must be because schedules have been routed, carpools arranged – anything to help a girl now financing her own career full throttle. Victor Indrizzo has a week off from Sheryl Crow’s tour and when he’s not doing the dishes has laid down some of the most bad ass drum tracks that I’ve ever heard. Mike Viola (Candy Butchers, Walk Hard, Get Him To The Greek) has already tracked harmonies to rival The Beach Boys and The Carpenters and truth be told wears sunglasses in his pajamas. Michael Chaves (John Mayer, Five For Fighting) is the guru of vibe on guitar, only wears black and insists on sleeping on the couch as if it’s the best room in the house. Kevin Salem (Dumptruck, Yo la Tengo) is still doing additional tracks he dreams up between producing underground Pakistinian superstars as well as shuttling English cellist Oli Kraus (Sia, Duffy) down from NYC – the same cellist I once leaned over to my friend at a Beth Orton concert 8 years ago saying ‘someday I’ll have strings like that’, but that’s another story… And of course Tom Freund who will forever be known as Starfish for the way he spreads out in a bed – not that grown men are sharing beds here or anything. He can make you cry when he plays upright." "There is no label, no A&R and I’m pretty sure the artwork for this record will come down to the I phone app that works wonders on pictures and the stash of cash that Dad put away for my wedding has been put to use here along with whatever frequent flyer miles I knew I’d use someday. I’m about to launch my PLEDGE campaign, which a psychic recently told me was karmic, as well as form my own independent team of folk to get this record out. And yet, I must say it is all going along swimmingly. The reunion with Alagia and the people in the room have been on instinct the best contribution I’ve made to this entire process. Viola, Kevin and Chaves have all been in the driver’s seat for some of my recordings and who knew you could get multiple producers in the room with no trace of ego whatsoever. It is Big Pink and the drums are set up in the kitchen, it fulfills every idea of ‘camp’ and when the band decides one track out of ten didn’t feel at the right tempo they will recut it 3 hours before their morning flight because they care so much.. I am in a constant state of Faklempt and the looseness of this whole shebang made a perfect transition into creative spontaneity that I think is going to surprise many. We had a mid point listening party bbq tonight where one person said to me that the songs sound like I’m in control of my own life now and I think she is right. It’s still too early to know what this record will become, but it’s been made with a lot of love in the room (and tequila) and like the frankenfish who can swim and walk on land is suprising the hell outta me." As always, it's a treat for The Time Machine Radio Crew to have Rachael on the broadcast as a guest. Rachael's vocals have graced Maui's FM dial for years as she continued to keep busy between each of her albums by co-writing and singing on albums of other artists. The list is long and varied; Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Robin Danar, Mike Viola, Margaret Cho, Toots & The Maytalls, Ben Lee, Graham Colton, Katherine McPhee, Rhett Miller, John Francis, Jill Cunniff, Dan Wilson, Bill Deasey, Ray LaMontagne, Chris Holmes, Ben Arthur, Jason Mraz, Bright Eyes and Mandy Moore...with so many music projects outside of her own, it appears that she will continue to be on our playlists for years to come (and hopefully we'll get a chance to hear her unreleased EP with Mike Viola). Her debut release "Happenstance" produced by John Alagia kept pulling in our listeners and locking her status as "most played artist" right up until the end of 2007.

That album was produced by Mike Mogis (with a couple of songs produced by John Alagia) and it was an album worth the wait filled with many talented musicians like Kevin Salem, Michael Chaves, Daniel Clarke and Mark Goldenberg adding their musical gifts to the project. Now "Chesapeake" has John Alagia producing again along with the return of musicians Michael Chaves and Kevin Salem plus Victor Indrizzo, Oli Kraus and Mike Viola. Rachael's music has had a home on our playlists and in our hearts since her debut release. While waiting for her third album release this October, be sure to pick up a copy of her first album, "Happenstance" and her second, "Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart".

With a quote like that, you can understand why The Red Button have been a musical staple on the playlists of The Time Machine the last four years. Singer-songwriters Mike Ruekberg and Seth Swirsky are the multi-talented duo behind The Red Button. Their debut album "She's About To Cross My Mind" is filled with so many musical gems that the album became one of our most played albums on the air for 2007. Now their follow up "As Far As Yesterday Goes" has been released and the refreshingly retro collaboration showcases the duo's shared passion for the juicy melodies and catchy hooks of the pop music of the ’60s and ’70s, yet still crackle with present day energy. You will not be able to resist the urge to sing along like The Time Machine Crew does in the radio station, so it was nice to have both Seth Swirsky and Mike Ruekberg share their thoughts on their sophomore release. Mike Ruekberg’s indie credentials are rock solid: He spent the ’90s as writer and singer for Minneapolis-based pop heroes Rex Daisy, who recorded a CD for Geffen Records with producer Paul Fox. He also wrote the soundtrack for the indie cult film classic “Dummy”, which starred Adrien Brody, Milla Jovovich, and Vera Farmiga. Mike’s music has also been heard in other movies and on TV, as well as in football stadiums and blaring from audio greeting cards.  In addition to The Red Button, Seth Swirsky has his own solo work and many records composed for other artists like; Rufus Wainwright, Taylor Dayne, Al Green, Jane Weidlin, Michael McDonald, Celine Dion, The Poppies, Xscape, Olivia Newton-John, Charles & Eddie, Smokey Robinson, Brenda K. Starr, Trey Lorenz, Bonfire, Air Supply, Faith Evans and Tina Turner. In addition to getting the chance to compose songs with Eric Carmen, Seth is also a published best selling author ("Baseball Letters" from 1996, "Every Pitcher Tells A Story" from 1999 and "Something To Write Home About" from 2003) and a film maker. His documentary film "Beatles Stories" is currently screening at film festivals around the globe and consists of interviews he had done with his hand-held camera with people who had a story about themselves and The Beatles. IT was originally going to be titled ""A Year In The Life" but it’s not a “tribute” or “anthology” piece, according to Seth, just people from all walks of life with a neat, specific Beatles story. As a solo artist, his first album, "Instant Pleasure", won for Best Pop Album at the 2005 L.A. Music Awards. His follow-up, "Watercolor Day", won Best Pop Song (the title track) at the 2010 Hollywood Music and Media Awards. The two met in 2005 and hit it off immediately; both of them admiring the songs of each other and sharing a taste for vintage pop. So, they got together and started writing and recording songs. They found that Seth’s tuneful optimism balanced nicely with Mike’s pessimistic but passionate style. Their first album “She’s About to Cross My Mind”, in 2007, was the result of those sessions and the new album clearly demonstrates that the craft of songwriting and performing in the studio can result in an album that you just can't get enough of. The Time Machine Crew decided that it might be a good idea to have an album listening party and hear the songs in the order that they were placed on the record. In fact, two albums sounded like an even better idea, so with a three hour afternoon airshift to fill with killer tunes, radio host Michael McCartney started off the broadcast with Seth Swirsky's album "Watercolor Day" along with Seth discussing the music and his film followed by Mike Ruekberg joining the album listening party for The Red Button's brand new record "As Far As Yesterday Goes". Other artists heard on this Maui afternoon FM aircheck include Paul McCartney & Wings, The Smith Bros., Linda Ronstadt and The Knack.

 Marissa Levy feels that "63 Songs About Joe" draws on such varied influences as The Beatles, Prince, Harry Nilsson and The Beach Boys. Just those influences alone should have you seeking out her music. Her new collection of songs fit onto the playlists of The Time Machine like a charm placed around your neck or arm from a long lost friend. Such a heartwarming musical gift. The Time Machine Crew can't stress enough just how fantastic her new EP is. Grab yourself a copy.

Brock Walsh's "Dude, have you ever shot par?" Blog "A Thousand Wonders" by Brock Walsh on iTunes Brock Walsh's YouTube Music Channel Below Video: "A Thousand Wonders" - Brock Walsh's video tribute to Andrew Gold In Brock's words, "Here are a collection of photographs and drawings of and by Andrew set to the music of A Thousand Wonders, the song we recorded just days before he died." "After many years working apart, Andrew and I finally got back into the studio to record this song. We spent the day experimenting, laughing, wondering where all the time had gone. We sat in the garden dreaming back to tours of the states, Europe and Asia, my wedding, his, Kenny-- and by the end of the day he had put his mark on this as he does everything he touches . . . touched. He died this week and we're all sick with grief. The plans we made to start working together more regularly just fond wisps floating off into space." "But he's captured here, one last time. If not the last recording he ever made, certainly one of the last. He was my friend, mentor and much more that defies any label. I'm grateful to have had this last chance to make a joyful noise." "Which makes me the last of the Smogtones."

Singer-songwriter Joy Valencia was a recent guest on The Time Machine. Joy was wonderful enough to let us play her music on the Maui airwaves the past year while she is busy completing her first album with what she refers to as the juicy flavors of late-1960s psychedelic pop and a twist of cabaret. The Time Machine's radio host Michael McCartney couldn't help but ask about what he heard as a Harry Nilsson influence. Listen to the broadcast to hear Joy reply to that and share stories about her songwriting craft.  Brand new songs heard on this Maui afternoon FM broadcast aircheck include Australian artist Emmaline, The Bangles and Fountains of Wayne. Radio hosts Summer Blue and Michael McCartney also featured songs from Peter Rodman, Wax, Linda Ronstadt, Sheila E., The Beach Boys, Mary Hopkin, The Smith Bros., Marty Rudnick & Michael Carpenter, Wings, Traveling Wilburys, The Easybeats, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, Ronnie Spector with Susanna Hoffs, Barry Ryan, The Hollies, and Harry Nilsson.

The EP was produced by Matt Beckley and this radio program also includes two live performances from Alicia.

 Samantha refers to herself as an accidental filmmaker. The documentary was triggered by the death of her father. It was her love and loss for her Dad along with her love of music that took on her journey around the country to try to explain the power that music has over people. She did this by following some of her favorite artists from concert to concert around the country and through interviews with legions of devoted fans and the incredible artists who inspire them, she tries to uncover the mystery behind the music while struggling with her loss. Artists include many of the core artists that are heard daily on The Time Machine; Imogen Heap, Kate Havnevik, Zoe Keating, Schuyler Fisk, Rachael Yamagata, Cary Brothers, Charlotte Martin and Jim Bianco. The film also features unreleased concert performances and behind the scenes footage with some of the most unique musicians in independent music.  Above Photo: Director Samantha Hale and singer-songwriter Imogen Heap Below Photo: Singer-songwriter Tori Amos and director Samantha Hale  Producer and director Amanda Taulere was also a guest on the broadcast. She discussed The Comedy Hui which is Maui's wacky character based comedy group.  On the set of NBC's sitcom "News Radio", Phil Hartman urged Amanda in the direction of improvisation and she trained at the prestigious Groundlings Theatre in Los Angeles, where she has brought and trained their fantastic improvisational technique to Maui. The Groundlings technique consists of “pure” improvisation.  The cast of The Comedy Hui uses no props, sets or costumes in the show and relies completely on the power of pure imagination and suggestions from the audience much like the television show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”. The performance has the cast co-creating 90 minutes of excitement with the audience that keeps you on the edge of your seat and wondering, “How the heck to do they do that?!”. The Comedy Hui's current talented cast include; Rachel Deboer, Chino LaForge, Karen Stavash, Alexis Ziegler, John Ziegler and Justin Michael Banek along with musical director Francois Kie accompanied by John McMullen on drums.

Cory Wells of Three Dog Night was a musical guest on The Time Machine before he joined co-founder Danny Hutton on stage for a Maui performance earlier this month. The legendary group have recorded the music of the best (and mostly undiscovered) new songwriters of their time including Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams and Hoyt Axton among many others. The group's eclectic taste, combined with their ability to recognize and record hits in a unique, distinctive and appealing style, resulted in the band dominating best-selling charts for years. Three Dog Night is celebrating four decades in the music business and original band members Jimmy Greenspoon on keyboards, guitarist Michael Allsup, guitarist Danny Hutton and guitarist Cory Wells are joined by Paul Kingery (Rick Springfield's "Working Class Dog" tour, Tiffany and Ronnie Law) on bass and Pat Bautz (Mickey Gilley, Freddy Fender, Everett Harp, Rodney Dangerfield, Dave Mason and Little Richard) on drums to complete the lineup that has been delighting audiences around the world. In addition to the classic hits that made the group a powerhouse on the radio charts and record sales charts, Cory also shared with the radio audience the stories behind Three Dog Night's latest song releases of "Prayer Of The Children" and "Heart Of Blues" including the broadcast debut of "867-5309/Jenny" and "Two Lights In The Night Time".

The Time Machine's Executive Producer Jenny Leong and radio co-host Summer Blue were beside themselves and fainted numerous times during the show. That left host Michael McCartney constantly searching for smelling salts to revive both of them during songs that played between the interview segments which resulted in Michael doing the interview solo. Just imagine two women through the glass booth fanning themselves as if it were like Beatlemania had swept into the air studio. Rube-Mania! Other artists heard on this Maui afternoon radio broadcast include; Supertramp, The Smith Bros., The Laughing Dogs, Avril Lavigne and Farrah. The Official Website for The Rubinoos Here's a link to article that singer-songwriter Marty Rudnick wrote for The Time Machine back in 2006 to share his appreciation of the band that we've been playing on the radio for over three decades: "The Greatest Band You've Never Heard..." What the heck, why not show you the entire piece, right here right now? "The Greatest Band You've Never Heard..." by Marty Rudnick  The day The Beatles called it quits was a dark day for me. The months and years that were to follow lead me in search of music that could bring the same thrill. I was hooked, and I needed another fix...bad. The void left by the breakup resulted in a journey that would define a large part of my life. Immediately afterward, I began digging way deeper into the Beach Boys' catalog and soon became enchanted with the unimaginable genius of Brian Wilson. I had always been a Beach Boys fan, mind you, but in the sixties I was too obsessed with The Beatles to give them enough of my personal musical bandwidth. While all my high school pals were moving forward to Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin (admittedly, great bands), my musical tastes went off in a different direction. In addition to The Beach Boys, I began listening to Badfinger, The Hollies, The Raspberries, Emitt Rhodes and Todd Rundgren. I don't think they called it Powerpop in those days, but that's what I was into. I was always "in search of", and a typical Saturday afternoon would usually include a trip to Tower Records, where one day in 1977, I discovered the debut album of The Rubinoos. Never heard of 'em. I'm not sure what impulse made me pick up the album, but I never looked back.  I got home, plopped the vinyl on the turntable and was instantly smitten. The LP included every ingredient for a Powerpop birthday cake, with icing and spreckles and candles that you can't blow out. Everything about it was world class: the songwriting, the vocal harmonies, the incredibly hooky guitar riffs, and that captivating feeling of joy you get when you hear a great pop song. The album was eclectic -- some songs were edgy, some were breezy and some showed a knack for irreverent charm and humor. It gets better. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area, I was happy to learn that The Rubinoos hailed from Berkeley, and the entertainment section of the Sunday paper, I learned they were playing the following Friday at The Keystone Berkeley, a legendary rock club from the good old days. The live show was mind-blowing. Up on the stage were four lads, not looking old enough to be in a bar, and singing and playing with a musicality and effortlessness that seemed impossible for anybody that young. On lead vocals was Jon Rubin (the Rubinoos name was actually a play on Buck Owens and The Buckaroos), with a pure soprano voice that even Eric Carmen would envy. Royse Ader was a tall, nordic-looking fellow who played bass ably and sang harmonies. Donn Spindt, a remarkably talented drummer, also sang harmonies. Their secret weapon was Tommy Dunbar, who played guitar like a world-class evil genius, wrote most of these wonderful pop songs, and whose between-song banter and mischievous smirk were eerily reminiscent of a young John Lennon. Not unlike The Beatles, The Rubinoos possessed an irrepressible irreverence and charm that was spellbinding. In my opinion, it seemed like nothing would stop them from becoming the next big thing. As often happens, I was wrong. As the rock music scene evolved in those days, it was essential that you MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY (oooh!). Well, The Rubinoos threw that notion out the window with reckless disregard, and I applaud them for it. As legend has it, they once opened for Jefferson Starship at Winterland, and were booed off the statge for playing the Pepsi Generation song from the TV commercial. The Rubinoos were throwing a bit of comedy into their act, and the uptight San Francisco audience did-not-get-it. In true Rubinoos style, they carried on, undaunted and unflinching. They were subsequently hand-picked by Elvis Costello to be the opening act for the Armed Forces tour of 1978. Their second album, BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, yielded the Powerpop classic "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend".  Soon after, as the story often goes, record company and distributor foul-ups threw a spanner in the works, and the most deserving band from Berkeley were out on the streets, and for the most part left unpaid by the smarmy label. By this time, bassist Royse Ader had decided to leave the band, and was replaced by Al Chan, a monstrously gifted singer and bass player.  The road to follow was a bumpy one. They disbanded, then Rubin and Dunbar continued on with Warner Brothers, and then briefly with Epic. Over the years, the Rubinoos have issued previously unreleased rarities from their archives (Basement Tapes, Garage Sale), reunited and recorded new material (Paleophonic, Twist Pop Sin), and released a wonderful collection of covers (Crimes Against Music). Some thirty years after their debut album, they are no worse for the wear.  Now, your average Joe on the street may have never heard of The Rubinoos. Real Powerpop fans regard them as icons. And most of the rock stars that were trying to be taken seriously in the 70's are either long since forgotten, or if not, probably embarrassed at the red leather pants they were wearing.  So, you have to ask yourself this question -- what is the difference between a band that made it big and a band that didn't? It could be pure luck of the draw. In the case of The Rubinoos, I firmly believe that they refused to play the game, and held true to their particular art instead of re-fashioning their image to the flavor-of-the-month. And for that, they will have my undying respect. If you've never heard their music, listen to Michael McCartney's show -- he's bound to give them a spin with great regularity, because he's in on the secret. The secret is that they are one of the greatest bands ever, and if you haven't discovered that yet, consider yourself lucky, because there's soooo much good stuff just waiting for you. Marty Rudnick Singer-songwriter Marty Rudnick's debut release "More Songs About Cars And Girls" has been getting tons of spins on our playlists. Marty's album was produced by the multi-talented Michael Carpenter.

Here is a list of some of the acts that have benefited from her talent on the road and in the studio: Prince, Sheila E, Billy Idol, Pat Benatar, Mick Jagger - and, of course, The Rubinoos.

The Time Machine was happy to have Farrah on the radio broadcast this past week. Cotton Mather's former drummer, Dana Myzer, joined the band but was unable to be a part of the program last week. Discussing the band's music were Andrew Campbell, Michelle Margherita (The Bad Machines and Montana) and lead vocalist Jez Ashurst. Jez has also written songs recorded by Cliff Richard, Hanson, Boyzone, The Click Five, Will Young, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Brian McFadden. Michelle, who handles the bass playing duties, also takes on lead vocals on the song "Got The Best Of Me". A wonderful musical delight. The band members were a blast to have on The Time Machine. Other artists heard on this Maui afternoon FM aircheck include new songs from The School, The Rubinoos and She & Him plus The Smith Bros., Jeff Lynne and Pilot. Below Video: Farrah's song "Swings & Roundabouts" that is currently in heavy rotation on The Time Machine.

 We've raved about internet radio station KGRL over the years as the station that The Time Machine Crew listens to when not at work. That's right...we listen to other radio programmers because we already know what we play and talk about, so it's fun to listen to someone else as escapism like any other radio listener. In addition to KGRL, which is celebrating it's fourth year this month, we often find ourselves listening in on Saturday evenings to an AM radio broadcast online from WMEL in Florida. Saturday nights have been the home to "Pop Garden Radio" hosted by Adam Waltemire. Our own Michael McCartney even found himself as an in-studio guest back in 2007. This coming Saturday, May 15th, 2010 will be the broadcast's fifth anniversary. Following Andy Reed's interview on this broadcast, Adam Waltemire drops in and discusses the last five years of "Pop Garden Radio". Adam also trades banter with The Time Machine's producer Jenny Leong. Photo Below: Adam Waltemire of Pop Garden Radio and The Time Machine's Michael McCartney  As the summer season approaches, The Time Machine has been spinning a number of brand new songs from talented musical acts, that over the years, have become core artists on the broadcast. Artists heard on this Maui afternoon FM broadcast with brand new releases include; Seth Swirsky, Keola Beamer & Raiatea, Nushu, Maple Mars, Anuhea, Kate Miller-Heidke, Butch Walker & The Black Widows, The Smith Bros. and Marianne Keith.

Rocker and singer-songwriter Brian Ray returned to The Time Machine a few months ago and was not only our guest DJ but also permitted us to play his upcoming album "This Way Up" as a world broadcast debut on the FM dial and online. In addition to performing a couple of his songs live on the air, Brian also let us play his new song "I Found You" that included an absolute killer rock instrumental break. He explained that he something in store for last weekend's halftime show between the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans. The Time Machine's Summer Blue, Michael McCartney, Jenny Leong and Daphne Matsumoto have been gabbing about this on the radio all week long and now you can see it for yourself! Brian arranged and produced a tribute to Les Paul featuring Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen and Orianthi from Michael Jackson's band. Brian stated about his guitar partners on stage, "He's a god, she's reDUNKulous!" Add in the 100 kids on guitars for Gibson Foundation's Music In Schools program and you have got an amazing guitar performance. Are you ready for this? Seriously? Are you ready? Set your volume to ten or at least snap on a headset if you can't blast this video around others. As Daphne Matsumoto pointed out...he's in the "Shave Ice Club" so this is a special video dedication to Dave, Ululani, Sasha, Jenn, Emi, Lynette, Eddie, Lorri, Daniel, Ryan, Mareva, Kai, Randy, Kailana, Bill, Carla, Samantha, Hayley, Alison, Amica, Sam, Karen, Angie, Mick, Laureen, Cyrus, Brittany, Jefferson, Salina, Scott, Larry, Donora, Myrna, Jenny, Bridget, Chris, Cory, Danielle, Nal, Keana, Ashley and other shave ice rock and rollers at heart.

 In the historically male-dominated world of motorcycling, no one has more passion for motorcycles than Cris. She has enjoyed a lifetime love affair with two wheels. An eager passenger on her step-father’s motorcycle at age 9, she rode her first motorcycle solo at 14, got her first Harley at age 19 and has been riding ever since. She was a longtime member of the Women’s International Motorcycle Association and in 1984, co-founded the 2nd Chapter of Women in the Wind. A year later, in 1985 she co-founded the world’s first motorcycle magazine for women called Harley Women. For over 5 years she acted as co-publisher and editor, often riding her motorcycle across the country to find the stories. On one such ride in 1989 she met her husband-to-be, rocker and fellow motorcycle enthusiast, Doobie Brother Patrick Simmons.  For several years in the late 80’s Cris appeared in countless national newspaper articles, radio and television talk shows as a representative and advocate of the growing number of women who rode their own motorcycles. In 1988, she was awarded an Honorary Lifetime membership to Women in The Wind. Cris is a 23 year AMA member, a Lifetime HOG member as well as a Motor Maid. In 1990, she was honored as a pioneering woman motorcyclist in the American Motorcycle Associations’ Women In Motorcycling exhibitin the AMA’s museum in Westerville, OH.  After selling her interest in Harley Women, Cris began a 15 year stint as a freelance motorcycle journalist, writing extensively for several magazines in the U.S., including American Iron, Motorcycle Collector, Iron Works, Easyriders, V-Twin to name a few, as well as magazines in Japan, Spain and in Australia. Cris also penned her own column for over 12 years in the popular Japanese Harley magazine Hot Bike Japan.  In 1994, Cris wrote and self-published the award winning children's motorcycle book "Patrick Wants To Ride", for which she was honored with the AMA’s Brighter Image MVP Award. The book is in it's MVP 3rd printing and has sold over 12,000 copies. In 1995, Cris was one of 4 women featured in an original documentary on women motorcyclists for Turner Broadcasting called Biker Women. This well received show set viewing records for an original documentary for that year.   In 2003, Cris was proud to be inducted into the National Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Anamosa, Iowa and the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Westerville, Ohio. In 2008 she was inducted into the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Cris has co-written a screenplay about women motorcyclists and is currently hard at work directing and producing a documentary film of the same subject as her current book.  Other artists performing Christmas songs heard on this Maui afternoon FM broadcast include; Wondermints, The Davenports, Fiona Apple, Stephen Cobert, The Hollytones, Monty Python, The Rubberband (Beatmas), Pat Benatar, The Sonics, *NSync, Mike Viola & Candy Butchers, Sound Bytes, It's Only Roy, Andrew Gold, Bill Lloyd, Aimee Mann & Michael Penn, Cliff Hillis and Simple Plan.

Paul McCartney's brand new song for the upcoming film "Everybody's Fine" with Robert DeNiro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, Katherine Moennig, Melissa Leo and Sam Rockwell is also heard on this Maui afternoon FM broadcast. The film will be released this December. Songs from other artists also heard on this radio broadcast include both Rachael Yamagata and Eytan Mirsky, who are not strangers to having their music fill the soundtracks of motion pictures. Rounding out the radio show are songs from Trooper, Ben Lee and the latest from the prolific Jonathan Coulton. The photography at the top was taken by Mieke Kramer and the two photographs directly below were taken by Michelle Philpot   Singer-songwriter Laurie Biagini's music has been a part of our broadcast the past few years and she was so taken away with Anny Celsi's album that she decided to share a review of "Tangle-Free World": Every once in awhile, an album comes along that impacts me such to a point that I simply have to write about it. I purchased Anny Celsi's album "Tangle-Free World" through iTunes on the weekend and after the first few bars of the title track, this album grabbed my attention, and I turned the volume, up - way up! By the time I got to the third track I decided that it's time to put on my writer hat and review this gem of a record. Ever hear a song that literally makes you feel electric? Something so beautiful and moving that you feel kind of numb and awe-struck? Put on the title track of "Tangle Free World" and if you're like me, expect a wonderful auditory experience. Beautiful melody, catchy, exquisite harmonies, and a rhythm track that would make for perfect driving music. This song will head to the front of the list of my favorites to listen to while driving fast along scenic highways. "Thanksgiving in Hollywood" is another favorite on this album. Starts out with a bit of a melancholy introduction then picks up the pace with plenty of jangly guitars (which I love) and some very cool organ and lead guitar contributing to a wonderful folk-pop sound. The mood is a bit dark and mysterious, yet uplifting at the same time. One of my favorite tracks on the album. Another favorite is "First Love Freezes", a beautiful melody and Anny's soft and haunting vocal is perfect for this very pretty ballad. Again, complemented by lush harmony vocals and I absolutely love the guitar work in this one. "The Night She Learned to Drive" is a wonderful tune that has such heartfelt lyrics, and is performed with a vibe of re-assurance and hope. The song has the perfect feel to match the theme of the lyrics. It's another song that features a traveling rhythm that would be great to listen to on a road trip. A beautiful example of classic Americana in its most perfect form. Also add "Piece of Heaven" to my list of favorite tracks on this album - a fun, upbeat jangly pop tune with a classic Monkee-esque sound from my favorite pop era. This one will not only get your toes-tapping, but you may easily find yourself singing along to this very catchy track. "Sally Go Round the Roses", a fantastic cover of the Jaynetts 1963 hit, is pure fun. Pop music legend Evie Sands and Teresa Cowles provide backing vocals which add another dimension to the overall girl-group feel of this great song. The sixties vibe is well-preserved in the production, but with a cleaner, fresher sound. The "tangle-free" outtro at the end was quite a pleasant surprise as well! I previously had somewhat limited interest in Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra's "Some Velvet Morning", but the version on this album so beautifully performed by Anny Celsi and Nelson Bragg, has garnered repeated listens. Their flawless soulful vocals, combined with a beautifully performed instrumental track have resulted in a new interest in this classic for this listener. This album has so many dimensions to it that really give the record an overall dynamic of several moods and vibes that intertwine together so well, yet keeping a smooth path or 'tangle-free' experience for the listener. Anny really shines in this album. A must-have for your collection, this album has been added to my favorites and will inevitably get extensive play from this fan. ~ Laurie Biagini Below photograph: Anny Celsi, Michael McCartney and Nelson Bragg  Official Website for Anny Celsi Official Website for Rachael Yamagata Official Website for Jonathan Coulton Official Website for Paul McCartney Official Website for Robbie Rist Official Website for Adam Marsland Laurie Biagini on MySpace Music Probyn Gregory on MySpace Music Nick Walusko with Mike D'Amico and Darian Sahanaja as Wondermints on MySpace Music

 Since the release of Brian's first solo debut album "Mondo Magneto" back in 2006, we've been spinning his rocker "Vinyl" in heavy rotation. We've played it so much on the radio that it's sort of become The Time Machine's unofficial theme song. We may have actually started playing the song back in 2005...but that will be our little secret.  Brian performed a stripped down acoustic version of "Vinyl" for the broadcast in addition to performing a song titled "I Found You" from his upcoming album "This Way Up".  Brian also played a few of his new songs from his forthcoming release that are pure pop bliss. Those songs made their worldwide broadcast debut which is a treat for us since Brian just got off a monster tour playing both guitar and bass for Paul McCartney.   In addition to playing some cool tunes from Paul McCartney, Brian also played some classics from The Beatles on the radio show. He also featured brand new music from Harper Simon (Paul Simon's son) and MGMT. As guest DJ, Brian also brought wonderful music to the radio show from his former boss and musical legend, Etta James, along with artists as diverse as Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Badfinger, Smokey Robinson, Wings, The Bangles, Lewis Taylor, John Lennon, Conrad Korsch, George Harrison, Them with Van Morrison, The Beach Boys, Ringo Starr, and Shakira. Summer Blue's radio co-host, Michael McCartney, added to the music mix with the latest from Brian's band mate in Paul McCartney's band, guitarist Rusty Anderson. Rusty's song "Julia Roberts" was featured along with songs from Jeff Lynne, The Smith Bros., Heart and Rachael Yamagata.

An interview with Pennan Brae can be heard on this program along with the band's new song "Anyways". The Time Machine continues to feature new music from Mandy Moore's upcoming album, "Amanda Leigh", to be released on May 26th. "Bug" resulted from the singer-songwriter having a hankering to close her album with something acoustic and simple. Mandy had the desire to actualize a song in the vein of Harry Nilsson or Randy Newman and "Pocket Philosopher" is a bit light hearted and goofy but also resonates with the excitement of meeting someone new and wanting to stop time so you could figure them out a little more. The album produced by frequent musical guest on The Time Machine, Mike Viola, can be pre-ordered on iTunes. New songs also featured on this afternoon FM broadcast can be heard from Mink, Paul Carrack (with Timothy B. Schmit and Don Henley), The Handuffs, The Smith Bros. and Jordan Zevon. Producer Jenny Leong, Pop Garden Radio's Adam Waltemire and Suitcase Full Of Dimes' Ed Lynn added to the on air musical fun with songs from The Hudson Brothers, Jill Sobule, Rick Derringer, Lisa Mychols, The Oohs, Jude Cole, Sweet, Badfinger, The Rolling Stones, Electric Light Orchestra, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac and David Bowie.
