First of all, I rowed down the Gowanus and lived to podcast about it. In fact if you want to track the journey led by the fantastic Marie Lorenz, just visit her site. Warning – there is a bloated rat in the photo set, (and I’m not talking about the fella in the high socks!). It ended up being a really amazing season, so my deepest thanks to everyone who helped make it possible. Dale-enthusiasts will be happy to know that I’m working on a bunch of video stuff and hatching a plan for the Dale Radio live shows, which begin again in September. Every now and then, I do have to step out of Dale’s shadow, so I’m pleased to say that I’ll be appearing as myself on the July 26th edition of the wonderful Soundtrack Series. Come on out if you’re in NYC and hear a tale of my early adventures with the opposite sex…and rollerskating.

With so much Dale activity happening over at DaleRadio.com, I’ve been slow to post anything here. If you want to come out and see Dale – the Super Fun Superfund Variety Show is a great way to get him in a small dose. Saturday, April 21! And later that week is another taping of the show at Film Biz Recycling. I’ll actually be appearing as myself this summer, but more details on that soon. Don’t want to spoil the excitement just yet.
If you’d like to hear from Strindberg and Helium on twitter, the way to do it is to follow @miseryyyy. Just settling in for a nice mosquito season over here by the canal. The air conditioner probably goes on tomorrow.

Folks, happy to announce that the erstwhile, Mr. Seever, my daring alter ego – is headed back to Los Angeles, the land of his lost years. Dale will host a free, one-night only, live taping of the popular podcast, Dale Radio at the Hammer Museum, on Thursday, January 19, at 7pm. Parking available under the Museum for a modest sum. Really hope you can make it or spread the word! Guests include Marc Horowitz, Daniel Lee, and the amazing Mary Lou Metzger, star of the Lawrence Welk Show!! A dream come true! For more on the event, you can visit the Museum’s site, www.hammer.ucla.edu.

Summer highlights: A week in Brigantine watching Vera run for the “wa-wa” (the water, not the hoagie specialists); celebrating my dad’s 65th birthday party; celebrating my uncle’s 60th birthday party; a fantastic time in San Francisco for the Warhol Convening; being named an Emerging Leader of New York Arts Fellow; and launching the first-ever Dale Radio Superfund Pledge Drive on Kickstarter. Can’t wait for Fall to get here so I can stop sweating.

When I moved to New York, I had no idea that I’d end up where I am today, having benefited so enormously from my time with Pamela Clapp at the Warhol Foundation. I won’t go on and on about her, (she’s probably embarrassed enough that I put the Crab Cooker photo up) but on the eve of a big transition I just want to say, thank you.

People discover Dale in the most peculiar ways. I recently sat down with Kim Chakanetsa a graduate student at Columbia University, who sent me a lovely note asking for an interview about the future of radio. In her research she had stumbled across Dale Radio and got sucked into the allure of micro-broadcasting from the foul banks of the Gowanus. She put together this piece for her class and was kind enough to send me a copy. I thought I’d post here so that I can close my eyes, imagine a light drizzle, and pretend that I’m actually on the BBC.

Hope you enjoy this short interview: FUTURE OF RADIO (AUDIO).

Is Dale the future of radio? I dunno, but an upcoming interview may provide some insights! He’s sure been busy over at DaleRadio.com – and in person, steaming up the windows of the World Famous Brooklyn Lyceum. Thanks to the entire crew over there for making Dale Radio Live! such a success on Feb. 12.

In other Bewley-news, the book for Shary Boyle’s amazing show, now touring through Canada, is available for purchase. In it you can read my humble essay about Shary’s performance work. (One of the two fantastic covers is pictured.)

It was a strange and wonderful honor to have Strindberg and Helium named one of the Top 25 Creative Videos in the first ever, Guggenheim/YouTube Play Biennial. You can even watch some of the festivities from the awards night on the YouTube Play channel. (For Bewl seekers, I’m in the first section – then I mostly am walking up and down the ramps trying to not to slip.)It was a lot of time spent in the basement of the world renowned museum, but we all were given giant gold-painted ceramic bricks and got to stand behind Michael Showalter. My hearty congratulations to all the winners, and especially to my dear friends, the dynamic engine of Strindberg and Helium, Erin and Eun-Ha.

A nice bit of news this week. Strindberg and Helium’s latest episode was selected as one of 125, from an international pool of 23,000 submissions, to be part of the shortlist for the first ever, Guggenheim/YouTube Play Biennial. Kind of amazing that this duo just keeps on keepin on! This is a fine acknowledgment of the awesome work done by Eun-Ha Paek and Erin Perkins. I’m so glad to know those creative ladies, and to be a part of this endeavor. For a link to all the shortlisted videos click here.

Dale’s steppin’ out! Now that we’re hitting the big time, we’ve decided to give ole Dale his own digital home, now located at www.daleradio.com.

This means that you may have to update your itunes feed to the new one – or it may automatically update, (Dale can’t make heads or tails out of html) so check here for the new stuff and we promise not to move that ever again.

This also means that this site will revert to infrequent posts about my life, while my alter egos are free to run amok elsewhere. Thanks for supporting Dale and making him…whatever he is. There’s lots of exciting/ridiculous borderline unbelievable stuff happening with Dale coming up soon – so be sure and stay tuned to Dale Radio. I’m going to try to get back into the habit of talking in the first person and go eat a bacon maple donut as the clouds roll over Portland.
