I'm going to give most of this week's playlist commentary over to Eddie Van Finley along with The Time Machine's Summer Blue and Tanya Teal, speaking on behalf of a new 42-track compilation called Embers Of Aloha: A Maui Wildfire Benefit Project:
All proceeds of this special digital BENEFIT project will go to directly help the victims of the Maui Wildfires, which resulted in loss of property, homes, pets and loved ones. Your generous donation will help to provide immediate relief for the people of Lahaina and West Maui communities in the wake of this horrible disaster.
Mahalo for the kind contributions of every artist on this compilation that have given of their time and talents to make this project possible. Please consider supporting these artists who have selflessly supported this cause. Artist information is contained in each track's info section.
I'd like to thank Big Stir Records, JAM Records, JEM Records, Kool Kat Musik, David Beard (Endless Summer Quarterly) for their immeasurable guidance, kind encouragement and advice.
Special thanks to Lisa Mychols (my tireless co-chair) and Nadja Dee (Artwork) for the constant forward momentum and positivity. And thank you to Michael McCartney, for being our catalyst, positive reinforcement and for Inspiring this project to come together with purpose, meaning and aloha.
On behalf of everyone involved, "Mahalo nui loa" for supporting such a worthy cause and for making this an amazing compilation of songs!
May EMBERS of ALOHA live in your heart. Always.
Eddie Van Finley

On this week's TIRnRR, we played "Music & Animals," the Armoires' contribution to Embers Of Aloha. Next week, our SPARK! radio colleague Rich Firestone will be featuring some more tracks from Embers Of Aloha on his essential show Radio Deer Camp, and so will we. Good cause, good music. We recommend you buy this.
This week, we also pay tribute to the late Scott Kempner, spinning just a few examples of Scott's solo work, his work piloting the Del-Lords, and his work with the Dictators. It's an incredible, rockin' CV, immortal in its way, and everlasting.
Even though we ourselves are not.
Mahalo.
