The Only Present I Want This Year on The Time Machine

Radio hosts Daphne Matsumoto and Michael McCartney bring more Christmas cheer to The Time Machine broadcast with brand new songs from The Smith Bros., Bob Dylan and Michael Bishop. Shave ice is festive all year round in Hawaii but naturally it comes up yet again using Christmas as a reason to discuss it on the air. Pop Garden Radio host Adam Waltemire brought up the subject and Na Leo Pilimehana's take on "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" heard on this radio aircheck has the trio singing, "Ten rainbow shave ice". "The Only Present I Want This Year" is a wonderful song by Eytan Mirsky that was used as a podcast title for this broadcast. All that the air staff of The Time Machine wants for Christmas is enough shave ice for everyone to enjoy.

The Time Machine features Christmas songs from two artists that the music world lost this year, The Retro's Jeffrey Glenn and the legendary Al Martino. Other artists heard on this Maui afternoon radio aircheck include; Lisa Mychols, Band Aid, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Fallon, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Squeeze, Weird Al Yankovic, Jill Sobule, The Waitresses, David Bowie & Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, Randy Newman, Carnie & Wendy Wilson, The Sun Kings, Father Guido Sarducci, The Fleshtones and The Beach Boys.

Anuhea Performance and Interview on The Time Machine

Singer-songwriter Anuhea returned to The Time Machine with her guitar last week. Radio host Summer Blue had just returned from a visit to China while Anuhea had just returned from Japan so it was a great time to return to the Hawaiian FM airwaves. Producer Ashley Starr sat down with Anuhea to discuss her self titled debut album along with radio co-host Michael McCartney.

Anuhea has been on our playlists the past few years with her self released "Rough Cuts" so it was a pleasure having her back in the studios now that her fully produced album has hit the music store shelves and online retailers like iTunes around the world. Her song "Right Love, Wrong Time" was selected as a featured free download on iTunes as the "Discovery of the Week" this past spring and Anuhea's album hit iTunes Top Ten downloads, leap frogging over many major label superstar aritsts on their chart. In addition, Anuhea is currently featured in the new iTunes 9 video guide that shows users how to use the new features in iTunes 9.

Summer Blue also gave spins on this Maui afternoon FM broadcast to artists; Brian Ray, Rachael Yamagata, The Throwdowns, Cobra Starship, Kings Of Leon and the brand new Michael Jackson song "This Is It" that he composed with music legend Paul Anka which was released just last week.
