The only bad thing about that is that it could mean more waiting on the INXS tour dates. Hopefully, it will only be a few choice California dates, eh Mary?!

Seems to me that it would be odd for Michael to do this when he delayed his solo album to concentrate on the INXS project. Plus he has a new baby. If the baby is as life-tranforming as he has been quoted as saying, don't you think he'd spend the time with the baby rather than heading off on a tour? He knows he'll be on tour for a year once the INXS album comes out. Just my humble opinion. Dana PS - The track is called "The King is Gone."

I suppose a baby is life-transforming until it starts keeping you up at night :) I always thought of Michael as the bohemian type who could never settle down, not that it couldn't make him a good father. Some of my male friends have totally surprised me after they became fathers. Maybe Paula will just tag along with baby and then he doesn't miss out on anything. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue Date: Wed, 4 Sep 1996 19:52:10 -0400 X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net To: INXS-list@iastate.edu From: Sue Subject: Alter Sleaze Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Sue Found this at alter sleaze and if Michael's description of the new album is accurate - I am so psyched to hear it: INXS frontman MICHAEL HUTCHENCE has revealed the Australian rockers took just five weeks to write and record their new album. And he admits the last year -during which time he has had a baby with girlfriend PAULA YATES after she left husband BOB GELDOF for him - has been the strangest of his life. Hutchence was growing frustrated at taking so long to make his first solo album in Dublin, Ireland - so was eager to return to work with his bandmates. The hearthrob singer says, "I was warmed up by the solo album, so for INXS we wrote a song a day for two weeks. Then we went to Vancouver in Canada and walked out of the studio three weeks later with a great record." And Hutchence reckons the NEED YOU TONIGHT rockers sound "like a band you wouldn't want to mess with in a bar-room brawl." He adds, "It's been the most intense year of my life - I've made a baby, two albums and I've made infamy." Now I hate to be ignorant but does any know what he means by "I've made infamy". Maybe a misquote? I know the past year he has been made infamous by the tabs. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue Date: Wed, 04 Sep 1996 18:52:44 -0700 From: "K.

I would think that he either means the tabloids jotting down his every move or his creating a child, which will outlive him and show his mark upon the world in a way other than music. It's a toss up though! As far as Paula just tagging along with the kids, that seems a trifle unrealistic considering the age of her kids and their school life, not to mention the fact that Bob probably wants to see his kids occasionally and has a say in where they trek off to. Maybe Bob will be a sport and keep them for a week here and there so Paula can take Herani to see her Daddy. Think?! But as much as I would love to see Michael play some live dates with anyone, anyplace, I doubt that it will be much of a real tour.

Could just mean a lot of guitars and heavy rhythm section. I think that would be very cool!! But I do agree that Welcome was a fabulous album and wouldn't mind hearing something similiar.

I think if it were released today rather than 3 years ago, it would have done better. Pearl Jam and Nirvana were at their peak in '93. I think music has shifted back to more pop-like rock.

I never have liked FMDH. announcing the guest appearance of Ray Charles I knew in my heart something was amiss. To me Ray Charles, "Make Your Peace" and Please You Got That" are funk. Now I am from Washington, so I don't really got da funk and I am no expert, but I thought "Full Moon Dirty Hearts" was the blues track on FMDH. In reality I don't got da blues either so I really know nothing about what I have rambled on about other than I like INXS, and I love all of their albums pre-FMDH with WTWYA on a special pedestal.

Though I detest post-Unforgettable Fire U2 (IMHO, so don't even think of flaming me), they are one band that at least is open to experimentation and doing different things (though they always take credit then for having mainstreamed that style, which annoys the hell out of me...) I've been reading that the new U2 album due out early next year is going to have a "trip hop" feel to it... Very bizarre, no? The band and their record label are reportedly very concerned about it, because they don't think its going to go over well with their fans. Of course, this is all a ploy on their parts, because they know that anything they release will be a hit (look at the inane "Numb"). In any event, my point is that it's better to do something original and creative, and take a chance with your audience then continue to re-hash a similar style...

Although WTWYA is IMHO the best, FMDH ranks up there because it is a return to the earlier rock of UTC and SS. My least favorite would have to be Kick (ironic because it was their most commercially successful album, if I remember correctly) because it had drifted away too much from the rock of the earlier days. It was the harder guitars which first attracted me to the band, but I have enjoyed everything that the band has released, and will until they release something along the lines of rap or country. I doubt THAT will ever happen. Just my $0.02.

I have oft heard this said, that FMDH was a return to the earlier rock of Underneath The Colours, etc. Why? I just re-listened to UTC for the first time in ages the other day, and I was struck by how cheesy the use of synth and ska were on these early efforts. Don't get me wrong -- I love both of their first 2 albums greatly (especially singles like "Stay Young"), but I don't see any connection between FMDH and UTC. I see FMDH as an attempt at stripping down their sound, and stream-lining that sound toward not only a rougher, more garage-band sound, but also delving into R&B, etc. So how does that mesh with the synth driven UTC? (Granted, there are some great guitar driven songs on UTC like "Barbarian," but even that relies *heavily* on keyboards for key passages...) -- Neil Kothari -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu New Jersey Medical School Class of 2000 Neil's World -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.columbia.edu/~sbs34/inxs.html Date: Sat, 07 Sep 1996 16:58:27 -0700 From: Neil Kothari To: INXS List Subject: U2 (was Re: Alter Sleaze) References: <32308688.3177@worldnet.att.net> <323087F5.71F9@worldnet.att.net> <323078CC.2843@ix.netcom.com> Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Neil Kothari Mike Chen wrote: > I know this isn't the U2 list, but still...I had to set the record > straight.

That was what they were originally saying in interviews about a year ago. Now, *every* item I've come across has them going with a "trip-hop" sound on the album. I think Addicted to Noise had some articles about it... You might want to hop over there and check it out fer yourself. > I can't believe you didn't like the Joshua Tree, Neil. Ugh. That album really annoyed me when it came out, and it still annoys me. They went from being the most relevant band around, tackling every political issue they cared deeply about, to releasing silly dribble like "With or Without You." Oooh - real deep there. I guess though they musically have maintained their high level, the lyrics have really gotten just stupid over the years. Whereas classic songs from War and Unforgettable Fire made you think (in addition to everything else), their postUFF material has just seem them turn into a stadium touring giant that has lost touch with where they came from. Now, it's just Ego with a capital E for Bono and the boys. Well, at least I'll always cherish "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and the rest... That said, I must say that the only piece I really loved off of the Joshua Tree was "Bullet the Blue Sky," simply an AMAZING song...

Either people are reponding to you private email or I'm not getting any posts but the only comment I've seen is Neil's very well thought out respond that could hardly be called a put down.

Sorry about the length of this message. Just a question I'd like to ask people currently debating whats good and whats bad about INXS, what albums people like, which ones they don't, etc. How long have you people been fans? I've been a fan of the INXS since they first released "Just Keep Walking" (correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was released 1980) and was absolutely blown away when Shabooh Shoobah was released. SS is my favourite album and will forever remain so. Its the one that gets played at absolute maximum volume (A volume that my car speakers really can't handle). Its the one that I don't turn down at trafiic lights and keep getting weird looks from people in cars around me. "Don't Change" (which is THE INXS song for me) is the one where I dangerously play air guitar driving a manual car at high speed, because the adrenalins is pumping. Its the album that really hooked me. Now most of you guys have only discovered the early INXS stuff after you were hooked on something else, and checked out what the band did earlier. If you were hooked originally on KICK then I can understand why WTWYA is you're favourite because its the best album they've done after KICK (even though it contains "Baby Don't Cry" a song I hate with a passion). For the world to have discovered INXS from KICK was interesting from my point of view because it was far from their best work (IMHO). To be followed up by X was disappointing. WTWYA came one album too late. As an Aussie fan since 1980 I've had to put up with a lot more sound direction changes than most of you. To me, INXS have been a bit all over the place with their sound. An opinion which I think is backed up with the current debate, where people are trying to decipher comments from the band about what the next album will sound like. Forget it, we'll find out when its released. If the first single has wailing guitars with a rocky beat (like "What you need") then I'll be happy. If its got funky groove that gets me moving then I'll be happy (but suspicious that they've produced another KICK). If I hate the first single (like "Baby Don't Cry") then, thats life. But hey, I'll still go out and but the new album the first day its released (which will probably be 1 or 2 weeks after US release going on past history, How annoying!!!) I won't be satisfied with the album because it won't be better the SS. Just like all you U2 fans (me included) who were hooked on their early stuff and are never quite satisfied with everything since UFF (Although I love "The Joshua Tree" and "Acthung Baby". Can't stand "Zooropa". What were they thinking?). INXS have never been predictable. They'd have died long ago if that was the case. Long live OZ Rock. Craig.

Replying to all the current fuss about everyone's opinion, I have to say that I think that one of the reasons that we all love INXS is because they changes styles a lot and try new things. They are never boring. But the important point to remember here is that we are all fans of the same band and have nothing to bicker about. Everyone has their own favorites and songs they like less than others, myself included. X happens to be my favorite albu, thankyouvery much. I think that it has a lot of power, some great vocals and some inspiring music and lyrics. I also happen to really like Baby Don't Cry too! INXS will undoubtedly put out a great album in 97. We'll find reasons to love it and hate it at the same time. The thing to keep in focus is to promote them to others and not haggle or personal perceptions amongst our own mailing list. I'm all for healthy debate and discussions about styles and favorites songs, etc., but it shouldn't come down to the point of anyone getting offender or upset.

When they were at their peak in 87 I couldn't care less about music, other than maybe alvin and the chipmunks. But I started paying attention around 1991, and I bought WTWYA off the strength of Not Enough Time, (my all time fave). Then slowly I bought each one going backwards. So I have been through the complete INXS evolution, in a way. Actually, I rather enjoyed FMDH, too. The first time I listened to it, it really blew me away and got me pumped up. Some of the songs were a bit formulaic, yes, but it definetly had its bright spots. But I really don't think the new album will be grungy with tones of every other type of music a la FMDH. I think it will be more along the lines of LLT, if they really mean a "real rock record."

This is a list for all INXS fans who love to talk about their favorite band. You may not always like what someone is saying, but we all have a right to our own opinions. We should all focus on our love for INXS and their music, no matter how we express it. You mentioned the excitement about the ARIA awards. That may be exciting for you, but we won't get to see that program here in the U.S., so discussing our favorite previous albums is all we have to cling to until the new release. But be sure to update us on the awards show and your impression of the new song.

Try to think of a funny thing that happened at a show, while listening to INXS or buying an INXS album, etc. I'll start it off: Back in the mid 80s, I was waiting on line to buy INXS tickets. Some friends and I set up "camp" outside the Beacon Theater on Broadway and 75th Street two days in advance (we weren't taking any chances on losing the front row!). As we were sitting outside, people kept asking why we were there. A number of different stories evolved, our favorite being that there was going to be distribution of Government Cheese in the morning and we were waiting to make sure we'd get our share (people actually believed that one). There happened to be a concert at the theater that night (I don't remember who was playing), but a lot of people saw us there. Among them were SNL cast members and then MTV VJ Martha Quinn, who offered us a pretzel. Another person who saw us there was the owner of the theater. He told the box office to sell us the tickets early so we wouldn't be sitting there - I guess he thought it didn't look good for him to have a bunch of teenagers sleeping outside of his theater! So, we got our front row tickets, two days early. I had another strange experience waiting for tickets the first time INXS played at that theater (a year earlier). When the on-sale morning came, the tickets hadn't been delivered! (This was in the days of pre-printed tickets - before Ticketmaster took over every box office). We all went home, defeated. I went back later that day to check in and wouldn't you know it, the delivery arrived as I was standing there! Okay - topic is open. Discuss!

Back then, they allowed front row ticket-holders to lean against the stage. First of all, the women were so crazed over Michael that they would take a running start from 20 rows back to try and storm the stage and jump over the security guards. One woman got as far as crawling on the stage while the guard dragged her back by her right leg. It seemed, though, that the most fanatical women were standing next to us. One of them lunged at Michael and grabbed hold of his legs which caused him to nearly fall forward on top of us until a guard could finally pry her off. Needless to say, he refused to come within 10 feet of our side of the stage for the rest of the show. The best part was when one woman kept screaming lewd offers to Tim to do certain things to him. Now, remember, we were standing VERY close. So the next time Tim came over, he lifted up his guitar and very forcefully thrust the "frontal" region of his body in front of her face, which caught her so off-guard that she was frightened to say another word for the remainder of the evening. Silly story, but it was lot's of fun!

In fact, it is a little pathetic. INXS played in Winnipeg in 1991. We had stood in line all night to get tickets and although we were 2nd in line, we only got 6th row. They had some sort of promotion on where you could call the radio station and upgrade your seats so they had gotten all the tickets in rows 1 through 5. (You realize I am going over the limit here for lines, but anyway). I was quite upset and complained to the radio station because I was 6 months pregnant at the time (try to find a bathroom while lined up for tickets). The radio station gave us backstage passes. We went to the concert and were waiting to go backstage in a line of people who were all holding flowers for Michael. Kirk, Tim and Gary actually walked by the line and we were the only ones who even knew who they were. Well, when we got backstage there were a lot of disappointed girls cause the ones who came out were Andrew & Kirk. Michael didn't show. I felt bad for Andrew & Kirk cause nobody seemed interested, but we were. Andrew patted my very pregnant belly and asked if that was a new fan in there. We got their autographs and a picture taken with them and it was great. But shame on the Winnipeg audience. I was embarassed to be with them. The girls even had the gall to ask the guys if they would give the flowers and notes to Michael. I hope they trashed them. Sorry about the four line limit being broken, but that's my story.

My point is that we all love the band for different reasons and different sounds, and although we may not all like the same albums, that's a good thing because diversity is better than non-diversity. As for my INXS story, the AOL board may remember it: The band came to New Orleans in December 1993 on the Dirty Honeymoon Tour. It was the last show of the tour (they cancelled the final four dates). I was unable to see them when they came to N.O. before when they were supporting Kick. Anyway...I got my tickets, went in to the general admission section, and pressed myself against the barricade. I sat through Catherine Wheel, and loved it when Michael, Kirk, and Tim came out during CW's cover of "This Time." Then, the band finally came out, and during on point, Michael stood on the barricade and reached out to the audience, and used my head and shoulder as a balance/support. Needless to say, I was almost crushed under the surge of screaming fans. I LOVED IT! The only drawback is that I know that I will never again have that concert experience - I don't know when or if INXS will come back to N.O., and if they do it is highly unlikely that I will have the same or similar concert experience. But hope springs eternal! To our friends down in Oz, we expect a full and detailed report of the Aria performance, please!!! Again, my apologies to all for the unnecessary response I made. I may not know a lot about the technicalities of the music, but I know what I like!

I've been listening since Shabooh Shoobah so I've been a fan for awhile (although not as long as some of you lucky Aussies).

It was open seating - first come, first serve. The doors, and the walls around them, are all glass. Andrew walked past the line on the other side of the glass from the bus and no one else noticed but me. I of course looked like an idiot waving through the glass. And then, Kirk, Gary and Tim walked up the stairs in front of the line - Again, I looked the idiot, waving through the glass. A few people even asked what I thought I was doing. When I told them, it was too late, they'd already gone and people just said "yeah, right" - Kirk even noticed my waving (I think) and gave me this funny open mouth smile (don't know how to describe it, you'd have had to have been there). Then, Michael walked up the stairs. He stopped on the switchback and leaned over the railing to stare at everyone. I waved to him too and almost wished I hadn't - when people looked at what I was waving at, they started screaming and pressing forward toward the glass doors - considering I was third in line, this was not fun. I was rather miffed at their reaction. But, then again, after asking everyone around me when they'd started listening to the band and getting the "oh, just about forever" answer (meaning about 2 years) or the "what do you mean? Aren't they brand new?" answer, I stopped worrying about it. >Sorry about the four line limit being broken, but that's my story. 4 line limit? Did I miss something here? Gosh, I hope not.

You must admit favourite albums are discussed every couple of weeks it seems. But if you want to keep discussing the same thing and talk about U2 then go ahead. I can't see what not knowing me personally has anything to do with it, I live in Australia and have approx 1,300 INXS items in my collection, maybe this explains why I find favourite album discussions a bit boring when there's so much more that could be discussed at the moment. >You mentioned the excitement about the ARIA awards. That may be exciting for >you, but we won't get to see that program here in the U.S., so discussing our >favorite previous albums is all we have to cling to until the new release. So because your not in Australia you are not going to worry about the new song, you are prepared to wait till next year before you hear, it is this right ? You can always get someone to send it and you would have it in a week. I'm sure other U.S. members are excited about INXS performing for the first time in 2 years. If you never get video's sent from Australia you wouldn't even have all the INXS video clips, how many list members have the clip for "Keep the Peace"(the song from B.H. Cop 3) ?

Well, first off, I don't think anyone really had a problem with your disliking the discussion of U2 or favorite INXS albums -- everyone is entitled to their own opinions. What several people probably took offense to was your supercilious attitude in tossing the topic off as "boring." As long as List members are discussing the music of INXS, I for one have no qualms whatsoever... In any event, I find your attempt at correlating the number of INXS items you have with the reason you feel you're qualified to reject our discussion a tad bit arrogant as well... > So because your not in Australia you are not going to worry about the new > song, you are prepared to wait till next year before you hear, it is this > right ?

Am I as excited as you, though, who happen to live in Australia? Definitely not, because I'm in the US. If the band was performing on US TV, I'm sure I would be much more up about the whole thing. As it is, what could we possibly talk about with respect to the ARIA's? They're going to play live there. Boom. That's it. All we can do (which btw, we *have* been doing to your apparent dislike) is speculate on what type of style the band will emerge with.

Well thanx Neil, I guess I'll try to explain what I meant. Firstly as you have mentioned 'everyone is entitled to their own opinions' - I was giving mine that I think that topic of favorite albums is boring and I was just trying to start a new discussion on the ARIA's. Secondly you said "as long as list members discuss INXS" so why do you always discuss U2 ? I know it's your list so I suppose you can discuss who you like but I'm here to read INXS messages. You then said "several" people took offense to me using "boring", so far it's you and one other person thats hardly "several". As for the opinion I'm arrogant because of my INXS collection is just pretty poor, I used that example to say I have each of the INXS album's about 10 times each so I know the album's back-to-front, so that is why I find discussions on the albums "not interesting" (for people who are offended by the word "boring"). I wasn't using this to say I'm more qualified to reject the list discussion, I was just saying why the topic was of no interest to me and I wanted to try and change it, I can't see anything wrong with that! >I for one am very excited about the fact that INXS is getting ready to >perform for the first time in 2 years. Am I as excited as you, though, >who happen to live in Australia? Definitely not, because I'm in the US. >If the band was performing on US TV, I'm sure I would be much more up >about the whole thing. Well, it shouldn't really make any difference where you live. If you want to see the performance you can, just get someone to send it to you and you would have it in a few days. INXS hardly ever perform live on Australian T.V. anyway but I'm still excited when they are on shows overseas that are not shown here. Maybe your a bit jealous because their performing in Australia, but you better get use to it because the INXS tour will be starting in Australia as well, so it's a while till the U.S. see them. Lastly, I'll say sorry to anyone that was offended by me not finding their discussion on favourite albums interesting! Looks like it's your week to critise people Neil, wasn't that person a few days ago just expressing their opinion that FMDH was similar to S.S & UTC ? You have to be careful who you do this to because as I know Tim & Kirk both get these messages, you could be critising them under a false name, Anyway I hope I have cleared this up, you can email me personally if you still have a problem with it.

But how many people quietly took offense. There are certain days when the topic of discussion is not as interesting to me but I would never call it boring - people are discussing the band at that is good. >As for the opinion I'm arrogant because of my INXS collection is just pretty >poor, Maybe you should have used a :) I got the impression that you were saying my collection is bigger than yours therefore I have more to say. Truth be told I love listening to someone who just discovered the band. They just got one of their first albums and wants to know more. >I wasn't using this to say I'm more qualified to reject the list discussion, I >was just saying why the topic was of no interest to me and I wanted to try and >change it, I can't see anything wrong with that! Absolutely. But who says more than one topic can't be discussed at the same time. Start a new topic but don't try to squash others that are going on. > Maybe your a bit jealous because their performing in Australia, I know I am, but hardly to the point that I would be critical of someone else. I'm anxious to hear what the Australians on the list have to say about the ARIA performance. Until then I have to wait patiently. > You have to be careful who you do this to because as I know Tim & Kirk both >get these messages, you could be critising them under a false name, So what.

(yes no What you need, New sensation or Devil inside!) A couple of songs a few people may be surprised I included are: Deepest Red - that is my favourite B-side, infact it was going to be put on Live Baby Live instead of Shining Star (wish it was) but it wasn't so it ended up on the next release - the Heaven Sent single. Another is "I'm only looking" this is so much better live than on the album! They only performed this in Australia on the last tour and I would say that was the stand out song of that tour. The played it towards the end of the show, and the crowd were all singing "talking me deeper..." together, at one of the shows during this song Leslie (Jon's wife), Deni (Kirk's ex wife) and I think Jodie (Garry's wife) came onto the side of the stage and were there singing "I'm only looking" too, Leslie went and got some drumsticks from Jon, it was really cool, Helena was there too but didn't come out to sing. It would also be great if INXS could do "Rooms for the Memory" together and for that matter "Way of the World" too but that will never happen.

This is an INXS list, but don't you think there's room for other topics once in a while? We are intelligent people who can relate to each other on other levels and it enriches the quality of the list to do so. It all comes back to INXS in the end anyway. Yes, some of us in the US have been fans for a long time. Shabooh Shoobah was the first release readily available here, so that's the first thing we heard. At that time (early 80s), it was not as easy to get imports from Australia as it is now (UK imports were all the rage). I know because I tried! Nobody should be condemned for the length of time he or she has been a fan (or how many items are in a collection - the music is the key, isn't it?). The more fans the better, no matter how long they've been around! As far as the performance on the ARIA Awards goes, I'm sure we'd all love to see it, but most of us won't be able to, at least not until someone has it sent over, converted to NTSC, duplicated and sent out. It would take a while. So yes, it is a bit removed from us in the US. Of course we're jealous that the fans in Australia will be able to see it, but what good does it do us to get all worked up about it? Matthew - will you volunteer to tape it and send it over to someone here? A video and a separate audio tape would be great (then we could listen to it while getting the video converted!). So, let's continue on this list, posting our opinions about INXS and other related topics and trying not to get upset! Just my $2 (inflation, you know). Dana Date: Tue, 10 Sep 1996 11:51:51 -0300 (ADT) From: The Jaybird! To: INXS newsgroup Subject: INXperienced Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: The Jaybird! First off, hi everyone. I was devastated to have to sign off the list for an agonizingly long four months during which time I had little access to that otherworld known as e-mail... Hope everyone is good and well, it's obvious from recent postings we're still vocal and chatter-y. I wish the new album would be out sooner. I seem to recall much hype this same time last year concerning the "new album" due out in... was it April of this year? Oh well. Good things come to fans who wait... And how about that forwarded e-mail from Kirk? Sounds like the boys are on track to a fine album. Let's hope it's a massive explosion of INXSiveness, with old fans holding hands with new ones, all listening to the hypnotic grooves of the band we know and love. I just want to quickly add my two pennies to the FMDH vs. WTWYA pile. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems some of us don't like albums like FMDH, X, or UTC because they have their good songs and they have their... ?mediocre? songs. Is that okay to say? Anyway, I'm one of those remote few who find FMDH just a tad bit better than WTWYA for that very reason: I think FMDH has solid songs across the board, whereas WTWYA has that INXS Achilles heel in my book: "Wishing Well". I must have four different versions of that song, and I sing along to the song everytime I hear it. But I can't get into that one, I'm sorry. It jumbles up everything for me on that album. It's just not one I'm partial to. But that's JUST ME. Actually, I find "Taste It" sort of... mediocre too. On the other hand, it's like choosing between two juggernauts of music, and all I'm doing is forcing myself to make a decision. FMDH just happens to win in my case because I find it a tad bit smoother. More melifluous? Here's my ultimate playlist. Now THIS took some time to figure out: QUESTIONS begins, inevitably. The ultimate hook line and sinker intro song. It flows right into HEAVEN SENT, naturally. By this point I am hoarse from screaming along with the words. The band does a little "good evening spiel", then they rip right into KISS THE DIRT. The next song would be GUNS IN THE SKY, then SUICIDE BLONDE. Man, this concert is rocking! After SUICIDE BLONDE, one of the band members tells some kind of silly story then they actually play JUST KEEP WALKING, all jazzed up and funkdafied. The audience knows nothing of this strange "new" song, but they like it. They really like it. Next they cut into NOT ENOUGH TIME and then it's MYSTIFY. Sort of the smoky portion of the evening. Then they play THE LOVED ONE (Kick version), for which many know the words surprisingly. They then pull out some stools and some accoustic guitars and play DISAPPEAR. After that comes THIS TIME. As soon as the stools are off stage again, they play THE GIFT. They play THE GIFT loud. Very loud. Then comes NEED YOU TONIGHT and MEDIATE. We're nearing the hour and a half mark now, but the band seems invigorated by the screaming fans. I SEND A MESSAGE comes on, followed by NEVER TEAR US APART. Michael then says something like "well it's been fun" and they go into WHAT YOU NEED. The band gets a rousing chant of encores but all is dark on stage. INXS have quietly made their way back onto the stage in the dark and simultaneously the lights go up and NEW SENSATION's first chords are heard. Instant noise explosion. Next they play DEVIL INSIDE, and the final song of the evening, to my instant gratification, is BY MY SIDE, with a full orchestra and an ending to the song that spans two minutes. (Okay, this is a little far fetched, but who cares? It's my playlist.) I then get to meet the band at this, my very first INXS concert. I say something really stupid and get a picture taken with the band where my eyes are shut. But who cares? I've met my heroes. I get out into the parking lot and pass out from oxygen deprivation. Cool. Finally, here's a question I'd like to toss out to the INXS fans, if this one hasn't been discussed yet. Now, I'm not a big fashion buff, but I've always found INXS to be one of the sharpest dressed bands of all time. In what video are they best dressed? When you think about it, the answers could be quite interesting. After much video viewing, I've gone with BABY DON'T CRY as the winner, though NOT ENOUGH TIME is a close second. Very dapper. I'm also a fan of JUST KEEP WALKING, just for raw cool eighties attire. Anyway, it's good to be back on the group, and here's to much more INXS discussion. the Jaybird, Jay Rawding P.S.

For the X tour, in Salt Lake City at the old Salt Palace, we had 2nd row center seats. The security people said that you had to stand in front of your seats, and not go up to the barricade that was set up in front of the stage. You can imagine that we all would have nothing to do with that rule and we started to head toward the stage. The security guys on our side were complete jerks, kicking people out and sending us to our seats. Well, our boys would have nothing to do with this and Tim and Kirk started flipping guitar picks at the guards. Now the funny thing is that the guards had no idea who or what was hitting them in the head. They kept looking around and Tim, Kirk and all of us in the front were in hysterics. Cheers!

I was just pointing out that this list is a forum for all to discuss their opinions. Of course I (as well as everyone else) am excited about any new INXS news. We also all appreciate you keeping everyone updated on INXS-related items. I was simply making the point that many of us won't be able to hear the new song or see their performance on the ARIA awards, so that's probably why no one brought it up. You happen to be among the lucky ones who will get a first peek. I think it's great that you have such an extensive collection of INXS-related items. If those things were available to me here in the states, I would certainly make an effort to obtain them. But I could hardly keep from noticing that your words seem to be laden with spite and bitterness (I could be wrong about that, but I think most people would agree), and I don't think angry rhetoric has any place on this list. We should all be united by our love for this band. Any and all opinions about anything related to INXS should be welcome here. I'm so sorry that you find us boring or irrelevant but we can't all be pleased by everything people say. That's all I'm going to say about this subject.

Personally, I could care less what they do in their free time (ie. who they marry etc). I love INXS because of their music. I am a fan of their music and in order for me to hear their music I have to listen to one of their albums. I think when I discuss their albums, I am discussing their music. Isn't this why we all love INXS??? Their music??? And in the grander scheme of things, even that isn't so important as to bicker about...is it??? BTW...that's just MY opinion, I mean no offense! Just a thought...:) > You have to be careful who you > do this to because as I know Tim & Kirk both get these messages, you could > be critising them under a false name I don't think we should worry about this!!! So what if Tim, Kirk or any of the band members get these messages! I think anyone on the list, including Neil, is entitled to disagree with a CELEBRITY!:) I mean, really, they are people, too. I don't think ANYONE should worry about disagreeing with someone just because of who they are. I've said this before and I'll say it again...being that they ARE celebrities they probably have enough people kissing up to them... Just MHO, Does anyone agree or disagree???:) Angela:) BTW...I apologize if a duplicate message got sent to you Matthew...our server's on the blink!:) Date: 10 Sep 1996 14:43:06 -0500 From: "Diab-ABD015 Basil" Subject: RE: More popular than INXS! To: "INXS LIST" Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: "Diab-ABD015 Basil" TO EVERYONE ON THE LIST: I hereby declare a permanent truce! Maybe we are all just a bit anxious waiting impatiently for the new album. I'd like to suggest that everyone be allowed to express whatever they wish on this mailing list as long as it pertains in some way to INXS. Whether it be old or current news, it keeps the spirit of our love for INXS alive. No more judgemental comments, no more suggestions as to what should and shouldn't be discussed. No more bickering. If it's INXS-related, we can all make room. Everyone agree? (Matthew, are you listening?) Peace, Basil _______________________________________________________________________________ From: Matthew Marsland on Tue, Sep 10, 1996 11:00 AM Subject: More popular than INXS! To: inxs-list@iastate.edu It seems I've managed to get people writing to the list, I must be more popular than INXS! But this doesn't seem to be the case as a couple of you seem to have read too much into things and completely mistaken what I meant! I'm not going to attempt to explain myself again, this list is for discussing INXS not me, so if you want me to explain things again you can write to me personally. I hope you can understand I was only making the point there is plenty of new INXS news to discuss instead of old stuff like favorite albums, but if that's what you want to discuss go ahead...My favourite album is....My favourite song is...... La de da, enjoy! Hope this topic on discussing me is now over! Forgiven, not forgotten... Matthew.

While in line waiting for tickets, I was by myself because none of my friends who were going really liked them as much as I did, I was third in line after a couple who were playing cards and making out. Needless to say I was a bit uncomfortable. But I brought my favorite novel The Vampire Lestat with me, so I kept busy while they got busy. Finally 10:00 came and I got my fourth row tickets. I was pretty happy. Finally the day of the show. I was taking a nap around 4 so I had plenty of energy to go nuts at the show. The phone woke me up-I picked it up to here my friend tell me he'd pick me up in an hour and oh yeah, Kurt Cobain killed himself. I wasn't a huge fan of Nirvana, but was still kinda in shock. An interesting way to remember where I was when I first heard the news. At the show, it was myself and three friends. During Material Issue, I saw two seats open front and center. I grabbed one of my friends and ran there. A woman sat down next to me and she tapped me on the shoulder. She pulled out a VIP pass that had SUPPORT written on it and asked me if I wanted it. Very enthusiastically, I grabbed it and thanked her about a million times. She then disappered somewhere. After Material Issue went, the place was starting to get very packed, but no one had come to claim the seats. Finally, Jon started the drum intro to Taste It and the rest of the band came on-and there was I in someone else's front row center seats, but no one came to take them back! Needless to say, I enjoyed a great show. During the set, Jon threw a drumstick into the crowd. I didn't know it then, but it hit someone in the head in the third row. While he passed out and everyone was helping him, my friend in the fourth row still grabbed it and hid it in his coat. I had to trade a lot of stuff to get the drumstick, but it is still one of my treasured momentos from the show. After the show, I tried to get in backstage with my VIP pass. While waiting, one of the bodyguards yelled "Hey you! Support! You can't come in!" several times. To this day, I never knew why I couldn't come in- and if anyone knows, i'd be very grateful if they could tell me.

I have a tendency to stop listening to WTWYA right after "All Around", and then skip certain songs after that. I never could get into "Baby Don't Cry" or "Strange Desire". Whereas I can listen to FMDH all the way through with no problem. Now, I could be distorting facts here, but I remember the band saying that they weren't altogether satisfied with WTWYA, which is why they went back into the studio and released FMDH only 14 months later. By the way, does anyone remember their live version of "Viking Juice" from the Dirty Honeymoon tour? Michael sang the lyrics rather than recited them, and the band cranked up the guitars much louder. They got quite a reaction from the crowd. I also recall Rolling Stone giving FMDH a much #002#better review, although they did accuse the band of "dressing up in other band's clothing." _______________________________________________________________________________ From: Michael Chen on Tue, Sep 10, 1996 3:41 PM Subject: Re: wishing well To: inxs-list@iastate.edu > I just want to quickly add my two pennies to the FMDH vs. WTWYA >pile.

Thanks for the kind words Sue -- so sweet of you to think of me - a 22 year old -- as an INXS godfather! In any event, I do want to give credit where credit is long overdue. Though I may have been instrumental in forming this List, and have been extremely active over the last 4 years promoting the band on the Internet, Jason Braddy deserves all of the credit for the unenviable task of running the day-to-day operations of the INXS List. As for this being my list, I wholeheartedly agree with Sue in saying that this is "our" list. I've made many friends and met countless people as a direct result of this list, and feel it has taken on an entity of its own over the last several years.

MICHAEL HUTCHENCE's famous pals have stood by him as he sets up home with his new lover PAULA YATES. The INXS rocker has been trying to avoid the press since stepping out with TV presenter Yates, LIVE AID hero BOB GELDOF's ex-wife, earlier this year. And mates such as DAVE STEWART, JOE STRUMMER and SHAUN RYDER have been helping him out by keeping him busy in secret studios throughout Europe. The results - a series of big name jam sessions - are to be released on a new solo project next spring. Hutchence's bandmates in INXS have also been trying to keep the rocker's mind off the turmoil in his life by dragging him into the studio. INXS manager PAUL CRAIG says, "Michael's been very busy - just what he needed to avoid all the press interest. As a result he'll have a solo project and a new INXS album ready for release in the new year." The as-yet untitled solo project also features GANG OF FOUR star ANDY GILL and BOMB THE BASS creator TIM SIMENON. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue From: Jewelfaris@aol.com Date: Tue, 10 Sep 1996 22:24:48 -0400 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: Ultimate Setlist Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Jewelfaris@aol.com Michael-- You're right WHY souldn't the INXS Setlist be less than say 25-35 songs-----they have enough !!!!

It says that Patsy Kensit (who just engaged to Michael's good friend Liam Gallagher) had photographed with her hand down... well, I'll just y'all read it. The date of this is February 20, 1996. Manchester rockers Oasis picked up the first of an expected string of awards at the Brits Monday -- and immediately walked into controversy with their acceptance speeches. Oasis took the stage to accept the Best Video award for Wonderwall, voted by viewers of ITV's Chart Show. Singer Liam Gallagher went up to INXS's Michael Hutchence, presenting the award, and said: "Michael's going to give me a slap round the face, so come on." Gallagher has been seen out with actress Patsy Kensit, separated from husband Jim Kerr of Simple Minds, who was also recently photographed with her hand down the front of Hutchence's pants. Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher, (Liam’s brother) said he had nothing to say "except I am extremely rich and you aren't."

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Matthew Marsland Here's just a small piece of info I found in the newspaper: "Fresh from an Oasis-led drubbing at this years Brit Awards, Michael Hutchence will be back in Australia at the end of the month to perform at the ARIA's. His solo project and a new INXS album are promised soon-ish. Partner Paula Yates and their baby are also expected guests". As for the awards they will be co-hosted this year by Harry Connick Jr and Chris Isaak. It looks like a mate of INXS' will also be performing - Jimmy Barnes, he has a greatest hits package soon (wonder if he has included Good Times on it!), anyone who is interested in Jimmy, the album will have 19 tracks plus a bonus cd with 12 rare or unrealeased tracks. Another of Michael's favourite bands - Garbage will show up to present an award or perform. Michael took Paula & baby to see Garbage at the Reading Festival a couple of weeks ago, would Heraani have liked this ? Maybe their training her for an INXS tour ? Other performers will include - Regurgitator, Powderfinger and You Am I (nominated for 10 awards), maybe Ash too, plus many more. Just lastly some info. on another "INXS related" performer - Jenny Morris, she is still out playing in the pubs up in Sydney, I may try and catch one of her shows while in Sydney, you never know what friends of hers could turn up!

Besides this you can always go and see them live, show your support for INXS and also Australian music in general. Wouldn't it be great to see INXS get the biggest cheer of the night when they appear on stage, you may be thinking I don't want to spend about $40 just to see one song I could watch at home, but there is some great bands appearing and it should be a great night.

INXS singer Hutchence, 34, popped the question last week during a holiday at his South of France home. They will be wed before the end of the year. Sun columnist Paula, 36, has been advised to wait until November when a court hearing will decide her final cash settlement from ex-husband Bob Geldof. Last night a close friend of Paula's said: "She is thrilled. Michael's proposal was very romantic and Paula didn't hesitate to say yes." The news comes seven weeks after the birth of their daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily. The pal added: "Michael's never been happier. He wants to seal everything now by marrying. They're desperately in love and would wed tomorrow if they could. But lawyers have said it would be wise to put things off until the court case is settled." Paula fell for Hutchence after her 10-year marriage to Live Aid hero Bob, 41, collapsed in 1994. Her daughters by Bob - Fifi Trixibelle, 13, Peaches, 6, and Pixie, 4 - are expected to be bridesmaids at the wedding. Paula has often worn a ring Michael bought her on her engagement finger. But the pal added: "Knowing him a new one will appear. He loves spoiling Paula."

From: "Jeffrey S. Curtis" Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: "Jeffrey S. Curtis" Alright, so I'm not Michael Jordan, but I thought I'd announce that I'm back anyway. I was on this list a *long* time ago - maybe five or more years ago - and dropped off around 1993. Some of you might recognize me as the same Jeff Curtis who typed up the lyrics to all of the INXS songs back in 1991 and put them on the various archives (most notably the uwp archive). Back then, I was sidewinder@uiuc.edu, or stealth@uiuc.edu, and some of the copies of the lyrics floating around still carry those old addresses. Anyway, Neil stumbled across my Web page (http://tybalt.ctd.anl.gov) while searching for INXS information and coerced me (well, ok, asked me nicely) to rejoin the list. So I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks. My main point in writing at this time is that while out at lunch today, I heard more amusing information about Oasis on the radio. I guess they were supposed to perform here (this weekend?), and, as you all know, the tour has been called off so that Liam can buy a house here, and other reasons. Well, on the radio today, they elaborated on the "other reasons" - apparently Liam and Noel got in a fist fight with each other, and have been unable to reconcile their differences. Anyway - just thought I'd pass that story along. Take care, Jeff -- Jeffrey S.

I was surfin the net at work and came across your page...I was looking for news of their next release...sorry to hear it won't be out till next year. I live near Seattle, WA...and have an interesting story from the last time they had a concert here. Let me preface this by saying that I have been listening to INXS since I was a teenager in California and they played two shows at Magic Mountain (theme park). My friend and I got in for like $5 and two 7-up cans...it was some kind of promotion...anyway, so I've been a diehard every since I bought their first album...back when they used to be called albums anyway. So here's the deal...I've been listening to these guys for about 15 years now so in May of 94...when they came to town and played at Seattle Center...my chums and I thought...we must finally meet these guys! I took the day off from work and we scouted all over that place...to no avail...their road manager brushed us off like a bad haircut...but the story doesn't end there. The guys came on and they were fabulous. We had festival seating so my friends and I were standing up near the stage. The pulse of the concert was overwhelming but being use to the grunge crowd...I just elbowed back at the crowd which was pushing me forward into the security gates...I held my own..but one of my friends had to be hauled off to the sidelines. Not an easy feat by the security guards since she weighed about 300 lbs. They actually pulled her up over the security gates. It was incredible. So...my other friend and I danced our backsides off for the rest of the concert when towards the end of the concert, Garry decided to practice his soccer (football) playing. Off the stage came a large bottle of bottled water (plastic) and guess whose eye it found? Yep...it was mine. Garry gave me a black eye! I'm a an adult woman...but the force of the blow brought me to tears immediately. Garry ran to the front of the stage and lipped the words "are you okay" but I was so stressed out I just shook my head no, held my hand over my eye, tried to hold back the tears, and felt my eye swelling up to enormous proportions. Shortly thereafter, the concert ended and they all headed off stage. Of course they got an encore, so back they came to do three more songs. I honestly can't remember the third...but the other two were "Baby don't cry" and "Bitter Tears"...Garry came up to the front of the stage and was singin them to me...so I didn't feel quite so bad. But wait...that's not all...after the concert is over..and the lights went up...I felt like an animal in the zoo...everybody was staring at me...as I tried to make my way to the first aid area...which happened to be backstage. So I'm sitting there with first aid and security people filling out forms...holding an ice pack on my face...when the road manager comes over and gets us...says that Garry wants to apologize. We went back to the room with all thier friends, managers, groupies...and assorted others...and I admit...I became star struck..Tim came up and kissed my eye...so did a couple others and their manager tried absolutely everything she could to make me happy. I think they were afraid I would sue. Not a chance! These guys are my idols! They gave us tshirts and they all signed a poster one of my friend's had gotten...and then like a brat...she wouldn't give it to me when it was over...but all the little notes were to me! Anyway, the next day when the shock had worn off, I fed-exd a note to their next concert location and explained to Garry that I had nothing to prove I had actually met them and my friend wasn't forking over the poster...he sent me a newly signed poster (minus Kirk's signature..oh well!) and a couple of backstage passes from that year's concert as well as a little note. It was incredibly sweet. I've been dieing to see them every since...but they haven't been back. They said to call their manager next time they come to town but I don't have any idea how I would do that! I was way too starstruck to get that kind of information while they were talking to me and kissing my face! Got any ideas? Well...gotta run...just thought you'd like to hear the story! They are a bunch of great guys! Oh yeah..here's my address...yes, it's my work address...I'm not online at home yet. croberts@seaao.dcmdw.dla.mil Talk to ya later!

I actually took this idea from another mailing list I'm on and really enjoy reading members posts. What we would like to do is every week have a new song that is put up for discussion. We can discuss the songs strong or weak points, what you liked or didn't like, discuss the lyrics or let us know if the song has any special meaning to you. I'd also like to know how the list members feel about having this on the mailing list or should it be moved over to the alt.music.inxs newsgroup so not to clutter your mailbox. Please let me know if you want it off the mailing address by responding to my e-mail address and not the list. If alot of people prefer not to keep it here we'll continue it at alt.music.inxs. Now for the first song of the week. Since Full Moon, Dirty Hearts seems to the most hotly debated album on this list I thought I'd start with a song from that album. Song of the Week #1: Freedom Deep To get the ball rolling here's my opinion: This is one of the few songs on FMDH that I really liked, maybe because it reminded me of the type of work done on WYWYA. Michael's voice is at its sultry best and not lost in a wash of noisy guitars. The harmonies are simply perfection. As the song progresses I could feel myself being drawn deeper into the song. What starts out sounding like a meloncholy song actually leaves me feeling, well.... free. I personally love listening to this particular song with my headphones. I hit the repeat button, lie down and close my eyes. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue Date: Sun, 15 Sep 1996 17:30:12 -0700 X-Sender: rocwid@popd.ix.netcom.com To: INXS-list@iastate.edu From: L Peterson Subject: Re: ANNOUNCING: INXS SONG OF THE WEEK Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: L Peterson Freedom Deep is by far my most favorite song off of FMDH.

Someone handed Michael a big drink, and this was when bars still served drinks in glasses. When he handed it back, it fell on my head. I was thrown for a loop! I wasn't knocked out, but I was a little woozy for a while. They were a little concerned, but not too much, since I was still standing (I guess). At the end of the show, Tim put his guitar pick down on the stage right where I was standing, but someone else grabbed it. Figures. I never did get a pick from him (but I have one of Garry's and a drumstick of Jon's, so I'm still ahead of the game).

I like the continuity with the song FMDH, plus the video's cool, nice and simplistic, but still interesting. I noticed at the Dirty Honeymoon show that people seemed to go leave for the bathroom or food during this song. Their loss. They probably didn't know it anyway.

When I first scanned through FMDH, I was mesmerized by Michael's singing on Freedom Deep and when I listened closely to the lyrics, it was instant love for the song. It really reflected what I felt at the time also. It actually had brought tears to my eyes. I like the way the guitars sound kind of "eastern" sometimes. (hopefully someone understood what I meant by that!) Anyway, I have a question for all of you... does Mercury have a site for INXS yet? I wanted to have a link to an INXS site from my new homepage, but I am having a very difficult time deciding which one... You could email me privately with any suggestions.

Well, everyone seems to *really* like this song, and I know that the band on several occasions have said that this is one of their favorites of all-time. IMHO, I don't think it's a bad song per se, but not quite as strong as their previous "power-ballads" ala Not Enough Time and Never Tear Us Apart. Anyone else share my opinion? I do think that the song's music is AMAZING... very atmospheric, very beautiful, but my main problem with the song is Michael's vocals, which I find really out of place (especially in the first verse.) Rather than leading the music and being in command of the song, he seems to be content with lagging behind it, and I think he could have done a better job... That aside, though, I think the progression of the song is quite nice, as it rises to a glorious crescendo. Oh yeah, another thing -- does this song's build-up remind anyone of The Stairs as it builds? > I remember seeing the video on Halloween night, first off the new > album. I thought, boy if the rest of the album is gonna be this good, > well, it's gonna be a really great album. Yeah! I thought the video was just great -- very simplistic and stripped down. This forces the viewer to actually listen to what Michael is singing, which I think is a really nice touch... Often, INXS videos are huge productions (like The Gift), so videos like this help to re-establish the supremacy of the music. -- Neil Kothari -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu New Jersey Medical School Class of 2000 Neil's World -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.columbia.edu/~sbs34/inxs.html Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 16:14:19 -0600 (MDT) From: Spec & Dass To: INXS list Subject: Freedom Deep Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Spec & Dass Well i agree with sue once again.

The INXS rocker has replaced the heady days of the music industry, not to mention assaulting photographers, with the weighty demands of fatherhood. Hutchence unveiled two-month-old "Tiger" to The Daily Telegraph yesterday, just two days after he and Yates flew to Sydney to show off the baby to his Australian friends and family. Unlike previous occasions when Hutchence has fought with photographers, he chose to pose with his new family "so the others will lose interest and leave us alone". Yesterday, the Hutchence-Yates family spent a few leisurely hours in the Sydney sun - reclining on their Double Bay hotel room balcony. The family will remain in Sydney for two weeks, during which time Hutchence will reunite and rehearse with the other INXS band members. Having just finished recording a new album in Vancouver, the group will make a guest appearance at the ARIA Awards at the end of this month - performing their new single, Searching. And while happy to briefly pose for a portrait, Yates was adamant throughout the shoot her baby daughter's face was not captured by the camera. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ================================================================ From: Jewelfaris@aol.com Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1996 20:41:09 -0400 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: SOTW: Freedom Deep Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Jewelfaris@aol.com I love this song !!!

Right on! New single! Woo hoo! When? When? When? ARRRGGGHHHH!!!! SEARCHING sounds very familiar... ah yes, I'M ONLY LOOKING perhaps? Maybe not. As far as FREEDOM DEEP, I too love the song but I personally don't usually classify it as a ballad. But I still consider it one of the best things INXS has ever done. HOWEVER, I didn't like the video very much, and I must be one of the only ones who thinks so. The door zoom at the beginning was kind of cool, and Michael's singing was kinda neat, but with a song that builds so momentously, I was expecting the video to reflect the crescendo that the song establishes. I don't know, when I first heard the song, I thought that maybe there would be a lot of natural settings in it: lava suddenly exploding from a volcano, waves crashing on a shore, gusts of wind, etc. The other disappointing video from FMDH was PLEASE. Boy, am I glad they re-shot that one. Kirk playing with tiny dinosaurs and some Fabio dancing for the camera. That hurt.

"JUST KEEP WALKING" This song is probably as far removed from Freedom Deep is as possible and it will be interesting to hear peoples opinions on how far INXS has come in 16 years. It's a pretty non complicated song but I love it. My earliest memories of this song are actually linked to my schooling. We used to have a Christian maths teacher (called Brother Barnes) who liked forcing the odd bit of religion down our throats, and it was with great relish that me and a few mates used to sing the line "Shove it Brother, Just keep walking" at high volume (not brave enough to sing it to his face though). Then it took me many years to figure out all the lines in the song. Michael's voice has come a long way since. Over to you guys... Craig.

You've got to be kidding. I have *never* heard this on the radio and I'd probably %^&^^%$& the DJ if he'd promise to play it just once. (Imagine what I'd do if he'd play it every day ;-) I too was a youngin' when this came out (I'm one of those elderly one the list - thanks Kelly - and there are some a few years older, they're just being smart and not stepping forward) - I got a kick out of singing that line for much the same reason. I've always counted this among my favorites and will until I don't anymore. :) The lyrics are simple and a little strange but that's what I love about them. The melody is great, the beat is just perfect for bopping along to in a car and everyone still stares at me while I sing it out the window at traffic lights. Michael's voice has come a long way since then but I really like the raw edge it had back then, I enjoyed puzzling through the accent on his words and the sexuality wasn't so..... thick. It's kind of like the difference between a fully naked body and a partially clothed one - this song is partially clothed.

One of the truly great funk/rock songs produced in Australia. The radio station I listen to (2MMM) plays it about once a day. Legendary radio station. I must agree with the others. It is a simple, yet great song. Michael said in their 10th Anniversary interview "That was the first time we thought we'd written a song. It wasnt almost a song, that was definitely a song".

According to my calendar, it's Wednesday -- how did this become the start of a new week when Freedom Deep was posted over this past weekend? That aside, I also think (I'm not sure how many of agree with me or not on this one) that one person, namely Sue who came up with the idea, should annouce the Song of the Week each weekend. This is not to stifle anyone's creativity or anything like that, but I can see this degenerating into mass chaos and anarchy rather quickly if everyone just jumps in with what they want to see as the song of the week. Why not send "SOTW" requests to Sue if there is a song you'd like to discuss? She can then methodically go through them, or something like that. I think that's pretty fair all in all, and though we abhor structure here on the List, I feel in this situation that this would enable a more full discussion of each song, and allow more time for people to participate. If you all disagree with me (or with the few who emailed me about this), feel free to email me privately. That said, because no parameters were set up for this initially, I think we should all go ahead and start discussing Just Keep Walking!

Just lastly, I mentioned "Searching" back in July when I sent a message to the list saying that would be the first single, except I referred to it as "I'm Searching", maybe they dropped the "I'm" because it sounds like "I'm only looking" too much.

So three points of rain was just a bit of a shower. Perhaps a reference to green fields grass and earth. Then again perhaps not.

I just received a schedule of relevant dates for album releases and this is how it looks for the March 18th release date: The credits and tape are due on October 24th (yes, this means that the music is supposed to be delivered by then). Advance cassettes are distributed on October 31st. So, if all goes well, I may have music on Halloween. Next are marketing and launch meetings. They take place starting mid-November and continue through January, when the marketing plan is due. During this time, the solicitation sheet is prepared (this is what gets shown to retailers), artwork is created done and press kits and advertising copy are prepared. Finally, advance CDs ship in January, sales solicitation starts at the beginning of February and the album begins to ship on March 7th. This all leads up to the official release date of March 18th. Since the INXS album is being handled through Mercury UK, some of the due dates may be different, but this gives you an idea.

The toulsed one has finished the new and as-yet -untitled INXS album and is deep in the midst of hammering out a solo album with help from Bomb the Bass's Tim Simenon. When asked about the sound of the INXS album, Hutchence, with typical bravado, spat: " It sounds like a band you wouldn't want to mess with in a barroom brawl" before adding that the new material " goes from the most over-the -top rock weve done to the most experimental stuff". Hutchence, who will be holding a press conference in Sydney next week and will appear at the ARIAs next month, said the album was done after three weeks slumming it in Vancouver studio, drinking, arguing and still finding time to write a sond a day. Let's hope the album doesn't cop the same treatment as the fruit of Hutchence's loins, little Heavenly Herani Tigerlily, and the job of naming the record goes to Kirk Pengilly. He's the man Melbourne band the Favues refer to as, "the least famous one, sort of looks nerdy but tries to cover it up with designer specs and a pony-tail". -------------------------------------- Date: 19/9/96 2:04 PM To: Stephanie Robinson From: /S=P2103198@unsw.edu.au/O=SMTP Jaybird writes: >> "JUST KEEP WALKING" >> Then it took me >> many years to figure out all the lines in the song. > >EXACTLY!!!

In relation to the SOTW, Just Keep Walking makes me recall those days where I was crazy searching past INXS material at the end of 1994. By these days I came to my CD reatil store, and find a "BEST PRICE" CD labeled as INXS and had a specially label that says "LIMITED EDITION". Of course I boughted and when I was hearing it suddenly appearece that cool song JKW that inmediatly makes me start dancing and singing the song (of course with the lyrics in my hands), all around my room. I can say proudly that JKW makes me love INXS Musicatly I found it a siply song but full of punky rithm of the 80 =B4s= that=20 made some influence in the bands of south america like Soda Estereo from Argentina. JKW and In vain are two of my favorites song of the CD. BTW, I would like to L peterson that I =B4m proud of you since you are on=20 the list and of course you are not a fossil but a super extra INXS fan. So keep on That way.... On the other hand, I wanna ask any of you if there is a posibility to get a copy of the FMDH video tape =B4cause I was SEARCHING for that stuff for years but without success. So if any of you can help me please feel free to emailme to yasna@cmte.net. Well I hope that my return to the list wasn=B4t so borring to you.

(apparently there are two NTSC versions). Now, for The Song Of The Week: I like Just Keep Walking - my favourite part of the song is hearing the squeaking noise either Tim or Kirk makes as they slide their fingers up the fret board during the last guitar solo before they repeat the first verse. If you've never noticed this before have a listen - I gaurantee that you will hear it. Also, I don't know if this has been done before or if it is a good idea, but what about a discussion along the following lines - "I'd wished that they released this song ... off ...", because I wished that they released The Stairs (and not the live promo only version from Live Baby Live).

The recording is being made off of a publicly aired show (At least publicly in Australia). It is not a bootleg of a concert. If the band came on and played Don't Change why would that be any different than them playing Searching? If the band didn't want anyone to hear it why would they be performing it? No monies are being exchanged for hearing the audio either. If it is an issue, then what if only a portion of the song was recorded as audio??? If this is a legal issue than this would violate about 90% of the wav files on America Online.

Excellent choices, mate! To Look At You is my 2nd fave next to Kiss the Dirt, and The Swing and WTWYA are neck-a-neck as my favorite albums. Ok, I had to get that in... What an inspired choice for this week's SOTW! Spy of Love seems to be one of those forgotten INXS gems (after all, what song could possibly do well coming after To Look at You?) In any event, I've always thought this song was quite intriguing musically. A lot of interesting instruments and sounds are on this piece, and watching that video always makes me laugh as they blow into jugs, etc. Again, Tim shows his superior mastery over musical arrangement -- he blends guitar seemlessly with synth effects and a haunting drum line background. But what about those lyrics? What exactly is Michael trying to tell us? That he enjoys having affairs and "lifting lovers up and down"? That he thinks rumors about him enjoying affairs are "a dirty trick to catch me out"? Or, that he is *resisting* some temptation, and "standing above the moment, listening to all i say, the spy of love will track me, will catch me"? Hmm...

Besides, its not like posting the file is taking anything away from the record company (they cannot sell a video tape of the one song live.) And, if turning the sound into a .wav file and posting it over the net is an infringement of copyright, then isnt recording onto audio tape??

But, I personally think }that if the song is showing on TV, then it becomes public domain. No. The whole point of copyright law is to allow people to broadcast, display, distribute, etc. their work without having to worry about other people ripping them off. For an easy example, look at U.S. sporting events - they always say, "This broadcast is the exclusive property of the (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, etc.) and may not be retransmitted or redistributed without the express written consent of (etc.)." Or just look at the word: copyright. It gives the author of the material the RIGHT to not have their work COPIED without their consent. In the case of INXS performing on the ARIAs, the author of the work is the awards show and/or the network broadcasting the show, not INXS. } Its like }all the sound rooms on the net.

In the case you're talking about, it's not so much the record company you'd be ripping off as the awards show and the network which carried the show. INXS' performance will be the property of the show and the network, and to redistribute that performance (by copying it and then transmitting it to others via email or putting it on a Web or FTP site) results in lost dollars for the network, which otherwise could have sold copies of the show to the interested parties. }And, if turning the sound into a .wav file and posting it over the net is }an infringement of copyright, then isnt recording onto audio tape?? No. You're allowed to make a copy of such performances for your own *personal* archival. You are expressly *disallowed* from using that copy for non-personal purposes (showing it or selling it to others, transmitting it to others so that they may make a copy, etc.). Now then - that's the legal hard line (within the U.S., anyway - international copyright law and Australian copyright law in particular might vary, but probably not). Reality is much different. The cost to the damaged parties in these sorts of cases is usually prohibitive - that is, why would they spend thousands of dollars in litigation to go after an online club of folks who made a few electronic copies of a song by their favorite band?

Yes, posting the song is copyright infringement. It's infringement of the copyright of the performance (which probably belongs to the awards). It is even stickier because the song is not yet available (if people can get it on the computer, will they buy it when it's released, etc.). You now have the proper legal answer.

It just doesn't work like that. The copyright holders would risk losing all that money in legal fees and I don't think they could prove that any signifcant damage was done to them if only 3 min of their show was distributed to 150 people. If we where making a profit - selling it to each list member and not giving the money to the copyright holder or marketing it to all INXS fans as a money maker - that would be a problem. Even if they just wanted to make an example of someone, they would chose someone who does it all the time or copies a substantial part of the program or that has losts of money so they could collect and cover the legal fees. I vote that we copy and distribute the song (I say "we" as if I have any ability to this! - I mean those with the knowledge and equipment). I REALLY WANT TO HEAR AND SEE IT.

The girl is an analytical chemist, so she is a little vacant. I dont know if she was mistaken or not, though. Anyone know when INXS are going to release the single??? And, Mikey was on the radio (2JJJ) last night for an hour. I taped it, but it wasnt very interesting. He picked a number of songs and chatted to Angela Katerns and he didnt say anything earth-shattering. Apparently he and Paula call the baby Tiger. And he seems to think this album is the best thing they have ever done. And they will be touring next year. Nothing we didnt really know before. Also, they (all six of our guys) were on the news. Again, nothing earth-shattering. Mikey said something about punching photographers had gotten expensive. Paula and Tiger were there too.

Drugs and steamy photographs showing INXS frontman MICHAEL HUTCHENCE and lover PAULA YATES having sex were found in a sensational raid on their London home yesterday. The sexually explicit snaps featured the couple taking part in wild sex romps. Police carried out an inch by inch search of the $1.12 million house in the exclusive London neighborhood of Chelsea after arming themselves with a warrant. They reportedly found drugs - believed to be opium - in the master bedroom. Later, plastic bags were removed from the three story property. But, the raunchy photographs are not believed to have been seized. Both Hutchence and Yates were not in England during the raid, but were instead in Sydney, Australia with their two-month-old daughter HEAVENLY HIRAANI TIGER LILY. Their nanny ANITA DEBNEY, 31, was present at the plush property and has already made a statement to police. Drug squad officers have also stated that they intend to interview Hutchence and Yates when they return from Australia. A Scotland Yard spokesperson would only state today, "Substances believed to be a quantity of controlled drugs were seized."

I know we all like the band for their music and their personal lives should not concern us but I know I feel sad at what has happened. We don't know these people, but yet we do care about them and if one of them were in an accident and was seriously hurt, we would care. Therefore I do care about what's happening to Michael & Paula. As a mother, I have a hard time accepting that lifestyle, if all that has been said is true, but I cannot judge them and I hope that things work out for all parties involved. That being said, I personally do not mind news of this being sent on this list. I trust that here we get the closest version of the truth and if I am going to argue with my INXS-hating brother-in-law over this then I need all the amunition I can get.

Well, a couple of important points that you seem to be skipping over include 1) just because famous rock stars indulged in rampant drug use is really no excuse for Michael, 2) with all of the recent deaths in the music industry due to drugs, the climate and attitude toward drug use has changed -- it is no longer really acceptable for musicians to continue in such a manner, and 3) sure we're fans of their music, and that's why we have to be concerned -- if Michael has indeed gone back to London as Paul reported, then we can kiss the ARIAs goodbye... because that's in only 3 days time. -- Neil Kothari -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu New Jersey Medical School Class of 2000 Neil's World -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.columbia.edu/~sbs34/inxs.html From: Jewelfaris@aol.com Date: Fri, 27 Sep 1996 14:58:08 -0400 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: Cyber-Sleaze 9/26/96 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Jewelfaris@aol.com Let's not be quick to comment on this let's get all the facts first.

I'm not making excuses for Michael since it's none of my business what he does in his personal life. This is why I will not make commentary on his drug usage, his marriage to Paula or the name of his daughter. I don't care about those things since I don't know him personally. I am a fan of INXS' music, I am not a groupie or some overly consumed person who has nothing better to do than ponder the personal lives of people I do not know. (That was not a dig at anyone personally, I'm just telling you where I stand). 2.) I do not find it acceptable for musicians to take drugs, I never even implied that 3.) As I said before, I don't care what Michael or any other musician does as long as it doesn't affect their music. If this indeed affects his performance on the ARIA awards or any other future performance, then I will disappointed. (Not disappointed in Michael Hutchence, the person, but disappointed that I won't get to hear their new song.) However, our lives will go on. When I said he'd be joining the ranks of those other musicians, I didn't mean that as a compliment. I was simply stating that their careers continued long after their problems with the law and we shouldn't get in an immediate panic because Michael Hutchence happened to be one of the few musicians who got caught. _______________________________________________________________________________ From: Neil Kothari on Fri, Sep 27, 1996 1:58 PM Subject: Re: DRUG BUST To: INXS List > Some people may be > disappointed, but keep in mind that we are INXS fans for their music, not > their personal lives.

Well, a couple of important points that you seem to be skipping over include 1) just because famous rock stars indulged in rampant drug use is really no excuse for Michael, 2) with all of the recent deaths in the music industry due to drugs, the climate and attitude toward drug use has changed -- it is no longer really acceptable for musicians to continue in such a manner, and 3) sure we're fans of their music, and that's why we have to be concerned -- if Michael has indeed gone back to London as Paul reported, then we can kiss the ARIAs goodbye... because that's in only 3 days time. -- Neil Kothari -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu New Jersey Medical School Class of 2000 Neil's World -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.columbia.edu/~sbs34/inxs.html From: skywalkr@nwlink.com Date: Fri, 27 Sep 1996 13:32:42 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: Dogs In Space To: Candace Roberts , inxs-list@iastate.edu Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: skywalkr@nwlink.com >>>>>Does anyone know where I might be able to get the soundtrack to Dogs In Space on CD?

PAULA YATES's nanny sensationally quit last night after telling police she found drugs in a tube of chocolates. Shocked ANITA DEBNEY, 31, stumbled across an opium stash at the home of former British model and TV presenter Yates and her rock star lover, INXS frontman MICHAEL HUTCHENCE. The drugs were inside a tube of Smarties in a shoe box hidden under the couple's bed at their luxury home in Chelsea, London. We reported yesterday the London police had seized drugs and pictures of the lovers having sex when they raided the $1.2 million house. Debney, reportedly worried about Yates's children, has now quit the job she has had for 23 years. British tabloid the DAILY MIRROR reports she told police in a statement she had come across the drugs after the alarm on the family car went off and she searched for an instruction book to switch it off. She told detectives, "I took everything out of the shoe box and this funny looking stuff fell out." Yates, 34, and rock star Hutchence, 36, are currently in Sydney, Australia, with their two-month-old daughter HEAVENLY HIRAANI TIGERLILY. In the meantime, Yates was rocked by a new bombshell last night when her manager, mother of two GERRY AGAR, 35, also quit and British newspaper THE SUN suspended her from writing her weekly gossip column until the charges are sorted out.

That said Paula and Michael are a high profile celebrity couple, and this will surely overshadow the promotional push for the music that has begun in Oz and will carry on 'til the album launch. Michael himself has expressed frustration at the tabloids etc for coverage of his private life, and that he feels he has become known more as a celeb rather than a musician over the last year. This cannot help matters. >I suspect most people won't even hear about it, >or care about it. In the UK, stories about Michael and Paula are big news. The UK market also remains one of the last countries where inxs can release a number 1 album. A number one placing for a new inxs release can secure important airplay in other countries. Therefore the UK will be a very important market for the new release. M & P have increasingly become portrayed as a comical couple in the UK press. Surely a story like this won't help inxs' image, music or sales? Alternatively maybe all press is good press? If so perhaps this a publicity stunt - conspiracy theory ;) - In some music circles drugs equate to credibility so perhaps this will increase airplay? It didn't harm Nirvana sales!

That's really funny, because I just got back from NYC, where I also picked up the single! I'm definitely not a fan of Everclear, but I must say, I'm pretty pleasantly surprised by their cover -- it's got a more R&B, lounge-act feel to it (if that makes any sense). One thing is for sure -- as opposed to the Goo Goo Dolls, who remained pretty faithful to the original, Everclear's version is quite a new interpretation.

Yeah, the performance is from MTV's 1990 Music Awards. I thought it was a great, gutsy performance, but I don't think the crowd or MTV cared for it at all. They wanted a big, brash performance, and instead, INXS delivered a tight and somewhat quiet version of Suicide Blonde.

Although, I'm sure it gives Michael's publicity peopole fits & nightmares, I doubt it will hurt them too in the eyes of their dedicated fans such as ourselves. It's the pseudo fans that it might affect - the ones who are actually influenced by stupid record reviews, etc. I know that most of us tend to sneer at those kind of record buyers but they do help to drive the sales up!

I skip past it on the "Listen Like Thieves" and "Live Baby Live" CD's everytime. It's just so boring compared to everything else they've done. The lyrics are syrupy and even Michael annoys me the way he sings them, which is hard to believe since his is my favorite rock 'n roll voice!

The ARIA's were fabulous. I was there, the show was pre-taped and when I got home, INXS were about to play again. So, I got to see it live and on telly before I watched the tape. The song is excellent. As Neil mentioned, it is a ballad, but mate it is FANTASTIC. Hopefully, you'll all be able to hear it for yourselves pretty soon. I have it on disk here beside me. I would have done all this last night, but my computer doesnt have a modem (something I am planning to fix) and I couldnt get into uni at 11:00 at night. But, trust me, its a great song. I cannot get it out of my head.

Michaels voice was so strong and smooth. This song is a lot slower than we INXS fans are used to but it has a certain presence that should make people sit up and take notice. To me its a mix between what was on WTWYA and MAXQ, a great sound and a fantastic song !

I had heard that Fairbain dumped some slower songs from the album because, "This is a rock album".

Vink" I'm surprised to hear so many negative reviews for This Time. It's one of my fave songs. It's a kinda fast moving song but with a sad story. Whenever I play it in my car I sing along real loud. I like how it starts off with nothing but a guitar quietly tinging and Michael vocalling pouring his guts out, and then everyone joins in. The video ain't that bad either. It was their first attempt at a "live looking" video. It's hard to see what Michael is doing on that rope or ladder at the beginning. Cool light show. Interestingly enough, one of my previous roommates commeneted how he thought it sounded awful, and he usually isn't so harsh on INXS tunes. (Calling that song awful is how he became a previous roommate.)

Everytime I saw Tim he looked heaps like Andrew. It was funny. Kirk had one of those line beards (you know when they grow a beard, but shave most of it off, like Mr T used too. Jon had long hair tied back. Garry's hair was so short (had to be a number 1), he looked like how Tom Hanks looked in Philadelphia. And Mike had (like Neil said) long, dyed black, straight hair. And a tight collared shirt on. It wasnt an incredibly slow ballad, it was like.... its hard to describe. It was a song where Mike stretched his voice. And it sounded better than ever, too. You know how Baby Dont Cry was a ballad, yet still rock-like? It was like that. And Mike singing: he put everything into it. It wasnt hard to see why they are the greatest live band ever. Even Tash (my friend who got us the tickets), who doesnt particularly like INXS, said the song was fantastic. Keiren Perkins introduced them (I dont know if American TV showed much of the Aussie swimmers, but he won the gold for the 1500m freestyle after qualifying last - he was sick at the time) and all the guys in the band did the Wayne's World "we're not worthy" bow. The audience cracked up. And there was a few technical difficulties right before INXS played (they had a long ad break which was trimmed back when they put it on telly - the show was delayed 1 hour between performance and television). Tash and I even waited at the red carpet to see if they would come, but they were either there early, or went in the back way.

It's one of my faves !!! And when I heard the live version I was on the floor because it sounded incredible ! I love the beginning of it and then as it builds and then Tim and Kirk join in the chorus is just the most awsome blend of harmony. And I think the video is great--simple, not complicated ! Sometimes the lyrics will get me a little depressed--but I just think it's one their BEST songs !!!

I like the intro as well as the rest of the song it reminds me the highschool time when I was in love, I mean the teenager loves, when "you" usually fights a lot for any thing (jelouse), and the letter of the song is defenitly great for those times when you fight with your girlfriend....."I´ve seen you before turn and walk away ... but I seen indise your heart and I know is breaken". Finally a great song with an excellent music and good performance. On the other hand, What about the inxs appearence on the arias. I think that it is to little the comments of the song...So come on guys I´m hungry for information those in oz. Please, Tracy let us know when you are gonna put the song on the web and where. And please Readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Its about 2MB unzipped. Im about to go and send it to Neil. No promises, but I have checked the file and it is okay. Its just a matter of compatibility, and how to unencode it on the other end. Neil will probably get back to you on it. Hooroo, Tracy
