The Dawn Patrol

On the Air Again: My recording of "They Don't Know" (from the upcoming compilation The Stiff Generation -- see earlier Dawn Patrol coverage) received still more airplay this week, thanks to WFMU DJ Joe Belock, who does the wittily-named Three Chord Monte show on Wednesday afternoons. You can see the playlist for the show on which he played my song here, and listen to it here.

Animal Attraction: Jeff Cuyubamba, a longtime booster of New York's garage/psych/mod scene (when he's not designing the pages of The New York Observer) has put photos of the Hilton Valentine/Lynchpins show up on his Web site. (I wrote about the show in an earlier Dawn Patrol installment.)

Above is Valentine with Lynchpins bassist Doug Mayer. As group leader Michael Lynch (auteur of The Dawn Patrol's ultra-catchy jingle) pointed out to me after the show, the former Animals guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was impressively youthful, in terms of both his looks and his playing. He didn't look like an older guy, Michael noted, so much as a young guy with gray hair.

Teenage Wasteland: You can now listen online to the WFMU radio show by Bill Kelly that features my recording of "They Don't Know" (as mentioned in my previous Dawn Patrol entry). Kelly's show is called the Teenage Wasteland. In one of his frequent Murray the K moments, he introduced "They Don't Know as being "#31 on the Teenage Wasteland national chart" (adding, in an even greater compliment, that it was "as high as 'Hey Joe' by the Leaves got"). You can read the playlist here and listen to the show here.

Eden on the Airwaves! My contribution to The Stiff Generation, a cover of the Kirsty MacColl/Tracy Ullman classic "They Don't Know," got its first-ever radio airplay yesterday, courtesy of WFMU DJ Bill Kelly (pictured at right with me at last month's WFMU Record Fair). Needless to say, I am over the moon. He also played two other tracks from the album, the Anderson Council's cover of Elvis Costello's "Welcome to the Working Week" and the Trolleyvox's haunting take on the Department S tune "Is Vic There." When the archived show is added to Kelly's Web page, I'll post a link here, but, in the meantime, you can read the playlist. The album comes out July 30, and I will perform at the album-release celebration August 3 at Maxwell's.
