The Time Machine's podcast

Summer Blue, Jenny Leong and Michael McCartney returned to The Time Machine studios after a brief vacation which featured guest DJ Ed Lynn goes into detail on this afternoon FM aircheck. Ed Lynn is the host of the podcast "Suitcase Full Of Dimes" which is one of the finest indie music podcasts online today.


Some of the artists heard on this broadcast were also part of the concert line-up for the International Pop Overthrow in Los Angeles which is still going on. If you're in Southern California this week be sure to check it out. One of our most played artists, Emitt Rhodes, came to see rocker Ken Sharp perform his latest batch of songs.


Ken Sharp (who is pictured above hoisted into the air by Rob Bonfiglio from The Skies Of America and Michael McCartney from The Time Machine) opens up this radio aircheck with a song off of his critically acclaimed album "Sonic Crayons" (Four stars from the hard to please MOJO no less). Other artists from the International Pop Overthrow heard on this broadcast include: The Liking Strikes, Michael Ubaldini, Blake Jones and The Trike Shop, Poplord (it is their song "Wake Up Tired" that this episode lifted for a radio podcast title) and Nushu.


Some rare songs from the vaults were aired from The Spectrum, Don Scardino, Lee Dorsey, Sidewalk Skipper Band and The Cufflinks with a big mahalo to Jeffrey Glenn for his kokua.


Adding to the musical fun are new songs from Zach Gill (with Hawaii's Jack Johnson on the drums), Brian Ray, She & Him, Tristan Prettyman and The Major Labels (the latest project from Bleu, Ducky Carlisle and Mike Viola) plus Jeff Lynne, Karla DeVito, Trooper, Butch Walker, Rachel Sweet, Kim Stockwood, The Red Button, Emitt Rhodes and Rachael Yamagata.
