Recent readings have led me to two Cale videos, both of them weird and fascinating and both on YouTube.

Dead Or Alive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYlUnxZk4OM&t=14s
largely intact, apart from a brief TV-broadcast voiceover and a piece missing in the middle

Hallelujah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYlUnxZk4OM&t=14s
audio from Fragments Of A Rainy Season, but video apparently made for 2016 reissue rather than 1992 original

Ugh, one of them was wince worthy even by mid 80s standards

Talking of Hallelujah, in case you didn't know, it's the subject of a documentary. See this article in UK Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/j ... ocumentary

or this one which links to the story of how Cale came to record it (or cover it, or reinterpret it ... )
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... -praise-be

But what I really want is one of those hats.

Thanks. There was a DVD for Words for the dying but it cannot be found, almost nothing from the years 1960 to 1990...

not a promo vid but there's a short film he made around '66 called Police Car (no sound iirc!) - can be seen on ubuweb

a promo video was recorded for "Changes made" in 1982

The bunny movie is cool, but are you suggesting it's the promo video for "Changes Made"?

Well, I didn't know any of that - neither the poem nor Cale's rendition of it - thanks.

Here's (hare's?) a link to the poem itself (no VU content though): https://www.silentearth.org/the-names-o ... 2Dcropper.

anyone seen his new video. worst ever?
