We once made a video for our song ‘Fridge Full of Leonard Cohen’. It was edited by Chris Seufert from live footage made by Bruce Maclean and Steve Wyeth at the Cloudwatch event in Baltimore that we played. The Cloudwatch was a great event. We played right before DJ Spooky, who is essentially the anti-Paul Eggleston. Those two really should have had a chat, but Paul E was too busy scoring drugs and the Spookmeister had his nose in a book all night as far as I can remember.
In any case, we sent a copy of the ‘Leonard’ video to a radio guy in Moscow who got it into rotation on a nationally broadcast music video station. For years I used to get emails from Siberia from guys asking me to send them free copies of our CD. Always very charming. I usually sent them regular post. Months later I’d get these emails from the recipients telling me how incredible it was that the CD was actually delivered by the Russian post office. They would always be very grateful and amazed.
Here’s the video…
