Matt Hartke Returns To The Time Machine

Singer-songwriter Matt Hartke returned as our musical guest on The Time Machine last week. We've enjoyed playing his laid back island sounding songs since his debut album "Great Good Fortune". He's added two more albums of his musical style with producers Mikal Blue and Andrew Williams, who between the two, have worked their magic with; Colbie Caillat, Grant Lee Buffalo, Del Shannon, Brian Setzer, Five for Fighting, Old 97’s, One Republic, Gary Jules, Alice Peacock, Rhett Miller, Garrison Starr, The Williams Brothers, Jessica Simpson, The Dream Academy and The Plimsouls.






We were happy to have him back on the broadcast to discuss his music. His song "Yeah Breeze" that we've spinning the past two years on the radio is available along with all three of his albums on iTunes including the song "Eloise" that we been playing since the fall of 2010.






Summer Blue and Michael McCartney also featured new music on this Maui afternoon FM radio broadcast from Rachael Yamagata, Brian Ray, Brad Beard with Michael Carpenter, Dave Stephens, The Smith Bros. and Rachel Platten. Classic songs from artists also heard on this radio broadcast include Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Paul Carrack and Player.

Allergic To Fun In Paradise

We couldn't decide to title this podcast "Allergic To Fun" or "Bad Reputation". Radio hosts of The Time Machine, Summer Blue and Michael McCartney, were in both a Joan Jett mood and a Eytan Mirsky mood on this Maui afternoon FM aircheck. In the end, we went with lifting Eytan Mirsky's song title and why not? Eytan likes pizza just like the rest of The Time Machine crew (seen above after eating three pizzas from Dollies in Kahana) and there really isn't any allergy to fun in Hawaii. Isn't Sheryl Crow's first hit song about wanting to have fun?

In addition to the music of Eytan Mirsky and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, new songs also featured on this Maui broadcast include: Kelly Jones, The Smith Bros., Butch Walker, The Explorers Club, She & Him, Marty Rudnick with Michael Carpenter, Mike Viola and James Carter Cathcart. Rounding out the radio show musically are artists: Maple Mars, George Harrison, Moon Martin, The Partridge Family, Sheryl Crow, The Bee Gees, Electric Light Orchestra, Leslie Gore, Ravyns, The Grass Roots, Hudson Brothers, Lou Christie, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Pilot, Josie & The Pussycats, Kenny Rogers and Richard O'Brien with Patricia Quinn and Little Nell.

Smith and Pyle Interview with Shawnee Smith / The Smith Bros. on The Time Machine

Smith may be the most used name when a couple wants to be discreet checking into a motel but it's not the most common name in music. So uncommon that The Time Machine Crew were taken aback by the musical coincidence of having two interviews during the same radio show with both featured Smith among group names. While Morrissey has distanced himself from The Smiths, both Smith & Pyle and The Smith Bros. have embraced it.






Missi Pyle and Shawnee Smith released "It's Okay To Be Happy" in 2008 and the duo's album got a great deal of airplay on The Time Machine. FM listeners on Maui were treated to a wonderful album that should grace your music collection. Shawnee Smith was a guest on the radio show and shared with our audience the fun and the craft of putting this album together.





The Smith Bros. hail out of Ohio and there is not a single Smith in the band. Mike Clark discussed the second album "Restless" from the group.

Other artists heard on this afternoon FM broadcast include Paul & Linda McCartney and Jim Boggia.
