Maybe a bad relationship, I don't know. I have never heard any stories behind this song, so I could be wrong. Whenever I listen to it, I always feel like saying "Get over it". Sorry.

I could see why one would dislike it since it sounds so different, but that's what I like about it. I find the orchestral build up toward the end to me rather moving, and Michael's vocals are kind of eerie. Not bad at all.

When I first heard the song, I thought exactly what's quoted in the first two lines: it's depressing and it sucks. I refused to listen to it for a long time. Until the moment I was on my bike with my walkman on my ears.... Of course it was raining (I am from Holland... :-(), and the wind was in my face. I was in deep thoughts about something very difficult (can't remember what it was...) and suddenly I realised that I just had been listening to M&W. I was like:"This is not real! I listened to M&W!", so I rewinded my tape, and I listned again to the song. That's the moment I started to realise that INXS isn't just (I quote, thanx Neil...) happy upbeat songs. M&W is certainly not my favourite, but I like the song for being so special. Martijn. +-----------------+-------------+ | Martijn Balink | What You /N | | MBalink@IMT.NL | Need...

I think an enormous amount of INXS's work is different which is good but I dislike this particular song and would venture to say that if they did a whole album of songs similar to this one that it would sell worse than FMDH.

They don't need 2 copies of your email! Just send ONE email to the INXS List and that's it! If you see other people's email addresses appearing in your CC: Line -- delete them! 2) Nearly 175 people use this List for INXS information -- If you are engaged in simple questions that are not entirely INXS related, why not just email whomever you're expecting an answer from? As I have said countless times in the past -- conversations that can not be contributed to by all of the List members should move over to alt.music.inxs. Trust us, we would LOVE to see all of you over at the Usenet group babbling away about anything ya want. One liners, jokes, whatever! I'm not naming anyone, so please don't take offense if you think I'm talking about you... And hey -- if you think I am talking about you, have you done anything wrong? :) oh yeah, while I'm at it... 3) With Winter Break fast approaching, I'm sure many of you will be unsubscribing until your vacation days are over... A reminder -- the correct address is inxs-list-request@iastate.edu, and all you need to do is write the word "unsubscribe" in the body of the message -- that's it! Nothing in the subject line is needed either. Just one little word in the body of your message. To re-subscribe, just send your "subscribe" message to the same address... 4) Oh, I also found a pretty nasty review of Michael's performance on the Heads album over at ATN.

I could see why one might not like it since it is the opposite of all of their usually upbeat material. "To Look At You" has a somewhat energetic feel even if it is not a happy song. But "Men and Women" certainly showed how much of a musical range INXS really has, which, in my opinion, was a great way to end their most musically adventurous album to date. By the way, it's 4 months and counting for the new release!

I don't like anything about it. But when it was SOTW and all these reactions were pouring in on the list, I put it on and listened to it again. And my reaction is ... it's not as bad as I first thought. I'm sure if I did listen to it as much as I listen to the rest of WTWYA it would grow on me. I must say that most of INXS's use of an orchestra results in songs that I could have lived without (case in point, Baby Don't Cry -- I hate this song and no amount of listening to it will make it better for me.). So, Men & Women -- the song is ok, not one of my favorites (never will be a favorite) and I'll probably go back to skipping it on the cd, but it's alright. I think Michael's vocal treatment on it takes some getting used to. It's such a stark song and his voice is right at you -- makes you really listen to those lyrics instead of getting caught up in any of the music. And since maybe the lyrics aren't the most shiny, happy things ever written, that's probably another turn off. But it fits --- can't go singing about something depressing or serious as if you were Alvin and the Chipmunks. :) Beth X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list From: DaGro1@aol.com Date: Fri, 6 Dec 1996 10:38:51 -0500 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Rock Photo Book Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: DaGro1@aol.com Hi All - A recent posting in the music biz gossip area said that there's going to be a new book out of musicians posing nude.

I don't think the band didn't anything that is "unclassy" with FMDH. The fiasco, IMO was on the part of management and the record company in not helping promote the album. The only magazine coverage I saw on the album was a page (and not a full one) in Rolling Stone. I saw them on David Letterman & Jon Stewart and that was it. Now as far as Michael posing nude.

No, it wasn't sarcastic, if FULL MOON was done right - (i.e. have a real album cover that makes it look like this is more than a throwaway album,and release the right singles - "Time" and "The Messenger") it would have been a successful album, by all accounts. Can anyone disagree with that? The bottom line is no matter how much you like FULL MOON, this is a band that likes to sell albums and have hits, as well as just make good music.

While I agree that the cover was pretty lame, and that there was no unified art direction on the album (like on Welcome), yes I disagree. "TIME" was released as a single (even in the US), so your logic falls apart there. I think they chose the singles they thought would do well, or that they liked alot.

Neil said something about the shoe being on the other foot and that's all it is. Now you guys know how we feel once in a while. No one will care whether Michael poses nude or not. Considering that we have all read everything that goes on his personal life, posing nude will be no different. In fact I think us looking at a picture of him in the nude is less intrusive than reading all the reports about him and Paula. No one has trouble reporting on their personal lives that they do want hidden, but we don't like when he chooses to expose himself? If he does pose, it will not affect the band in any way. Michael Hutchence is NOT INXS. Michael is part or INXS. And let's face it, if there was a female member of the band who decided to do this, it wouldn't even be an issue.

Why do you regard 'Dogs in Space' as a fiasco ? I can't understand that reasoning ? It gave Michael a top five single in Australia with 'Rooms for the Memory', the film accurately portrayed that late 70's punk period in Melbourne, it also created a cult following towards the film. And it got some 5-star reviews here in Australia. The only problem with the film was the R rating that stopped under 18's from seeing it, but that's nothing to do with Michael's role in the movie. As for the photos, Michael can do what he likes I'm pretty certain he has already posed nude for magazines in the 80's anyway. It's only a matter of time before the British press will get hold of nude pictures of Michael & Paula, so he might as well choose the picture he wants to be shown. Back to the music, INXS appear on yet another various artist CD - 'Cool World: 41 Essential Rock Singles 1976-1986'. I don't have it yet so I can't tell you what it has, but I would say it has either 'What You Need' or 'Original Sin'. It use to be INXS' policy before Chris Murphy left not to appear on soundtracks or various artist CD's, if you wanted for example, 'What You Need' you would have to buy 'LLT' but in the last couple of years their songs have appeared on quite a few various artist CDs, is this a good thing or is it better to make the public buy the INXS albums if they want the song ? I suppose appearing on these CDs would also attract people to buy INXS albums so it has it's good & bad sides. Matthew.

Ooh, something new and cool to give an opinion about (hoping that everyone keeps in mind this is ony my opinion). Sit down, this may be hard to follow. 3:22 am, another sleepless night and another 80's CD collection commercial comes on - I scan the titles hoping to see INXS. I don't see them, I laugh at the piece of crap they're offering and change the channel to something mindless. Yet, I look at my CD rack (ignoring all the 70's compilations my husband has purchased behind my back) and feel justified that I have not one mish mash CD to my name because we all know that those things are crap full of one hit wonders, people I've never heard of or songs I got tired of hearing played over and over again on the radio. Yet, I walk into a music store and glance through the titles of some mish mash CD's looking for INXS and when I don't see them, wander over to the "I" section to see if there's anything I don't have. Now just what does this say? Would I buy one of these things if INXS were on them? Well, I bought my first ever soundtrack for that reason. But, the song that would be on one of these things would more than likely be one I've already got on a smattering of CD's anyway. I guess I'm more against this than for it. Normally, my reaction to these things is that someone wanted to be remembered so they put their song in some collection. I've always felt them to be rather cheesy and seemed to get some satisfaction out of INXS being above it all (after getting over the anger that perhaps they didn't feel INXS was good enough for their piece of trash). I don't think hearing their song on one of these things will make someone go out and buy an album. And someone that's already a fan, unless your collecting memorabilia, doesn't need something like this to hear the song. So, my answer to this question is, this is a bad thing. Thinking about it - I wonder if the reason these songs are showing up in collections now is not because the band wants them too but rather that Atlantic is trying to milk them for all they're worth. I mean, who gets the money from these things?? Just a thought. O.k., story time is over.....

I always thought of those compilation albums as the last gasp of the one hit wonders bands. I was a little saddened when I saw "Need You Tonight" on some 80's compilation album. I was guessing it was probably just Atlantic records making as much money off them since they left the label. I also don't think these compilations entice anyone to buy an album by a band appearing on them. I think people who buy them are just happy to have the radio friendly hits they once enjoyed all on one record without the expense of buying the whole album. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list From: SNP3@aol.com Date: Sun, 8 Dec 1996 14:07:41 -0500 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: naked hutch Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: SNP3@aol.com hi gang- as far as i can remember, hutch HAS indeed posed nude, with helena, back when they were an item. if i recall correctly it was a b&w shot of helena, with hutch behind her, with his arms strategically wrapped around her. does anyone have any solid info on this? i can't remember what publication it was for. some uk mag i think. -josh X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list X-Sender: p2103198@pop3.unsw.edu.au Date: Mon, 9 Dec 1996 08:45:40 +1100 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: t.nash@unsw.edu.au (Tracy Nash) Subject: Re: naked hutch Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: t.nash@unsw.edu.au (Tracy Nash) >hi gang- >as far as i can remember, hutch HAS indeed posed nude, with helena, back when >they were an item. if i recall correctly it was a b&w shot of helena, with >hutch behind her, with his arms strategically wrapped around her. does >anyone have any solid info on this? i can't remember what publication it was >for. some uk mag i think. >-josh I have the article.

Now I know I'm going to take alot of heat for this but I hated the video for it. I know the director and band were making a statement and yes I know music is powerful medium to do it but I do read newspapers and weekly news magazines so I know how terrible the world is. I think bands like to make statements and feel good when their fans come to their way of thinking but it's usually hollow. People forget the statement as soon as the video is over or when they don't listen to music of the band anymore. Look at Live Aid (now please, no Geldof/Yates/Hutchence jokes) How many of those thousands of people that went to the concerts really even think about Africa anymore. The problems are still massive over there. I don't know if I'm making much sense to everyone. Oh and one last thing, before you think I'm some Pat Buchannan conservative - I'm an extremely liberal person.

First was in December 1988 while on a school camp, I remember this because the 'Calling All Nations' concerts I went to were only a few days before, and we were traveling by bus and just about everyone had packed their cassettes of 'Kick' to listen to on the bus ('Kick' was the IN thing of course). So during the whole school camp 'Kick' was played non-stop on the bus, as well as discussions on the INXS concerts, even at one point I remember the bus driver asking "doesn't anyone own any other tape ?" The second time would of been 1990 or maybe 1991, I was with my family driving through the town so we stopped there. >From memory, it's made up of three mines. You get given a mining helmet with light and you walk down with a guide who explains the various parts of the mine as your going. Then you can look for coal yourself, I actually kept a bit of coal at the time because of the fact the mine was in the 'All the Voices' video (OK that's taking INXS collecting a bit too far!). On the way back up you sit in this little trolley-train thing which takes you back up to the top. The buildings you see in the clip you can also go in, some of which have information/history of the mine. Can't really remember much more since it's a while ago now, I don't even recall the exact name of the place - Gippsland State Mine perhaps ? Of course the mine is now longer in operation and is only used for guided tours now. Matthew.

I missed this first time round but from the clips advertised on TV last night, it looks like Paula really lets Ian Hislop have it with both barrels! Should be a good laugh. I know it's old, but no doubt there will some mention of Michael in the programme. For anyone not in the UK, Have I Got News For You is a satirical quiz show looking at the weekly news stories. Paula is on Paul Merton's team (a British commedian), with Ian Hislop the other team captain. Ian is the editor of the magazine "Private Eye" which generally takes the piss out of anyone and everyone from politicians to those in the news spotlight. I know he has had a go at Paula in the past, but the programme should be great (no one over here thought she'd ever agree to appear on it!). In the clip she calls Ian Hislop "the sperm of the Devil". Let him have it or what!? Roll on Friday.

So how did Michael posing nude turn into such a debate? It's certainly not the first/last time this has happened with a rock star, and I doubt it will cause much of a stir outside of the "everything-Michael-does-must-make-headlines" London tabloids, if even that. Next thing you know, we're debating homosexuality. Hello????? I think we're all running out of things to talk about in our long anticipation for the new album, so allow me to change the subject if you all don't mind. I'd like to throw some questions out to Dana: You gave us a great song-by-song description of "Elegantly Wasted" and thanks for that. How would you, in your humble opinion, rate the album overall in comparison with their previous work? Is this a whole new sound for them much like WTWYA was, or can you definitely see similar styles (i.e. What You Need, New Sensation and Make Your Peace all had similar musical patterns), If it is similar to previous work, what would you say it most closely resembled? And finally, do you think this album helps the band get more in touch with their homosexual side? (just kidding, I couldn't resist....) Thanks Dana!

I live in Manhattan (NYC) and would probably do this on a Sunday afternoon. I'm trying to see if this is feasible. The new radio station that everyone is talking about is a riot. The Buzz in NYC is like Rock of the '80s with some new stuff mixed in. For example, today I have heard (between 10:30am and 5:30pm) four INXS songs, three Melissa Etheridge, The Clash, Haircut 100, Nik Kershaw (!), etc, etc. Interesting station. Let's see how it matures. Oh - EW release date in the UK is April 7th for the album, March 10th for the single. In the US it is April 15th for the album, not sure about a commercial single.

What is so compelling about making a pretty lame generalization that our distaste with Hutch being nude is because we are all struggling to keep our homsexual feelings inside. That has got to be the most uninteresting, offensive, and unthought out statement I have ever heard. The real reason that I think the few individuals are upset is that we don't want to see the band do stupid stunts for promotion that have already been done before and didn't work. The band will just embarass themselves and it will flop in their faces. Lets face it their not in a career position to take any risks. If the album is good it will sell on it's own. People will buy the album as long as they finally release a decent 1st single. Everything depends on that 1st single or it's over. Let's see the band be themselves and not be reduced to an embarassing shell of their former selves. Kind of like what has been happening to this list lately.

I agree with James here. I know that we should keep our topics to INXS, but what if a group of us gets interested in a side topic? It doesn't even have to be a controversial one. I've felt so stifled on this list that I expected to be chastised for contributing to the Medicate/Mediate humor. Cheese whiz! Let's not be militant about this list. Let's try to have fun with it while being informative about the band we all love. Here's a suggestion, from another mailing list to which I belong, where the classic on-topic/off topic debate was settled in what I think is a nice way that accomodates everyone. When we are going to post a non-INXS article, we can precede the subject with the word "OFF:" so that those who are not interested in anything that's not strictly list-related can skip those messages. And, still, no one is prevented from posting whatever they feel creates a sense of community. So, for example, an on-topic post would have a subject line of : Is Tigerlily that cute baby on the new album cover? and an off-topic post might have this subject line : OFF: Does acceptance of "nekkid" Michael photos make you gay/perverted? (I hope that *all* can recognize this as sarcasm.) 8^D This "modus vivendi" has been pretty successful on the other list, it might work out here for us, too. The floor is now open...

Yikes! The tidal wave has certainly burst on this one (good going James!) :) Hmm... Where to begin? 1) I'm truly sorry if it feels to some of you that I am "constricting" or "censoring" what this mailing list discusses. It is not my intention to piss off any of you, or to stifle conversation. Personally, I could care less if I had 5 or 50 messages/day in my mailbox. OTHERS, though, do mind, and I can completely empathize with their position as well. Many have to *pay* for their access, and don't want to have to waste time reading and deleting stuff they don't care about. In addition, I've already received 8 or 9 emails from people supporting my contention that this topic be moved to alt.music.inxs. I'm not trying to stir up trouble -- simply mediate and keep everyone as happy as possible... 2) How many of you that are not pleased with the situation are using the alt.music.inxs forum? Saying that you can't usenet groups is not a very valid statement anymore, as even the worst ISP's give you usenet access. I don't understand why that ruffles people's feathers to use that medium instead of the direct list. I actively read and post over there -- for example, Sue, I and another guy have been posting silly INXS puns of late on the newsgroup. I would never dream of posting one-liners to this List because of the aforementioned reasons. 3) (This is related to James' assertion that gay men are into INXS because they look good, while straight men say, "They're still around?") Heh, actually, I don't even think I need to respond to that because I think that's so silly... IMO of course. No offense, but who cares what sexual preference someone chooses? I don't care to see men OR women posing nude in magazines. I think it's degrading to BOTH genders. So to whoever made the point that the straight men on this list should address this latent homosexuality whatever stuff, I just think that's plain ridiculous. I'm opposed on principle -- I wouldn't want Sonia Madan (echobelly's beautiful front-woman) to pose nude either in a book. Sure the celebrity has a prerogative to do whatever they want to do to express themselves, I just think its in poor taste... But that's just my opinion, and I certainly wouldn't want to "censor" others from enjoying the picture, if that's their thing... :) In summation, please don't feel stifled to write about anything you want -- just remember who your audience is. It's not the 10 or so people who regularly post, it's the 150 people who make up the entire List. As for the suggestion about the word "OFF" being written preceding tangential topics, I have no objection to that... but it's not up to me -- it's up to all of you. -- 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 X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list X-Sender: marsland@mail-g.deakin.edu.au Date: Sun, 15 Dec 1996 00:21:07 +1000 To: From: Matthew Marsland Subject: Cool World CD Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Matthew Marsland The INXS song that features on the Cool World: 41 Essential Rock Singles 1976-1986 is surprising - 'Stay Young'.

Is there anyone ? Is there anyone ?

Is there anyone ? Why don't you tell me Which way to be Give me pain or security Oh this red hill has all the mystery It's full of quiet hope and unknown destiny My love I say this is loneliness Like a cold dream yet it chills me Time goes painfully Then it disappears With a touch of warmth or lasting grace Red hill where the air is still Watching over me can it see I will not climb It makes me feel uneasy in the valley of my sleep If I fall down Will the hands that reach out be my friend or foe ?

Some of obviously really enjoy the SOTW thing, others the updates on what's happening both personally and profesionally for the band, then there are those that just like to have a place to say, 'Hey I heard an INXS song on the radio and it was really cool' to people who can understand that sentiment. I know that we all get something different from the list and don't think that we should have to send any INXS topic over to another list just because it varies a little from the music focus. I don't think the list is a place for any INXS censorship or flaming. The differing opinions make it more interesting but we shouldn't tell anyone to basically take their opinions and go elsewhere.

Where's it from? "Red Hill" is off the Chage & Aska Tribute Album that was released this past summer in the UK (and has just recently been released in Australia.) It is extremely hard to find, though, so good luck searching for it. I know of a couple of places that are selling it for about $40 or so, but I'm certainly not parting with that much money for one measly song...

Is there anything I can say or do to just get this mess behind us? I'm really not a very disagreeable person, and all of you who know me on this List (and that's a good many of you) know me to a honest and nice guy. So this list is dictatorial? It is a moderated list? I don't think so James. Anyone can (and does) post anything they want on this List. I do NOT make the rules here -- because guess what? They are no rules. I just post suggestions and comments based on the private emails I receive from other individuals. If you don't like it, please don't throw a hissy fit -- try and constructively deal with the issue. But in your case, rather than just not post -- just leave. But far be it for me to tell someone to leave (something I have NEVER done in the 4 years of this List) -- I'll explain why. I kinda resent the attitude and bravado that you've decided to show here on the INXS List. If you really cared to work out whatever issues are bothering you, would it have hurt for you to EMAIL me privately so we could discuss things in an adult, mature manner? No, instead, you throw about words like censorship and dictators in vague terms without ever explaining what the heck you're talking about. Also, I just checked out the Salon message area you talked about -- I can't even believe you would mention my name directly and go so far as to call me a dictator over there behind my back. I would NEVER dream of going off someone in a public forum if they didn't have the ability to defend themself right then and there. I just find that to be the doings of an extremely immature individual. I have also noticed that the Salon message area seems to be your little private arena -- where you can kinda grandstand as the "big" INXS fan. Do you need that newsgroup to help bolster your ego? I can't really think of any other reason. I'm sorry, but throwing around stupid comments like "Come to my web page, not neil's" is just plain immature. I have never seen you as anything other than an acquaintance, and one that I was happy to see running a nice INXS web page. I have NEVER had any problems with supporting or publicizing anyone else's web pages (least of all yours), so I find your egotistic attempt at competition to be extremely pathetic.

You know, its really sad that a message that was posted by me as a sarcastic joke related to INXS has turned into this. hmmmph Some people take things way too seriously around here. Any what's ever better is that havn't read or been part of another more interesting topic that the one we're fighting over here now. Even though its somewhat of negative conversation, AT LEAST there is some depth and real feeling behind. Hey, I feel like a human being again, not a mindless computer imput devise.

BUT, I realized it won't go away if I say I receive "private" emails (which I have from many of you), and then have nothing to back myself up with on the List... So, I don't know -- I don't want to ask, but I guess I kinda am asking that whoever would like to post on this issue -- please do. Even re-emailing what you wrote to me onto the List would be something I suppose. I DO UNDERSTAND, though, if any of you decline for whatever personal reason... Just thought I'd ask anyways...

How hard is it for us to be polite to each other. It is _ok_ to disagree with someone, just no bashing. For the record I can't recall, until this past week, anyone bashing but since some people have indicated there has been, then perhaps all of us regular posters should be a little more sensitive that we're conveying our thoughts without being hurtful and hopfully we'll get the others to feel free to post their thoughts. I myself enjoy a lively arguement but not to the point others are hesitant to post or if I offend anyone. Also for the record, in defense of Neil. I am one of those who feel he is not dictatorial. I've been on this list for 2 years and he has been nothing but polite and helpful. He is only enforcing the _guidelines_ of the list. If the guidlines are not working out for a majority of the people then perhaps some suggestions can be made for new guidelines. Already a suggestion has been made on how to handle off topic discussions. Now can we cut this bullshit, grow up and get on with the business of discussing INXS. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list Date: Mon, 16 Dec 1996 18:04:42 -0500 X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net To: INXS-list@iastate.edu From: Sue Subject: Re: SOTW#15 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Sue >INXS SONG OF THE WEEK #15 - Faith In Each Other Well I decided to finally take the Ramones off the cd player (yes it has been one of those kind of days) and give a listen to Faith In Each Other.

Of course: It says: ""What's changed now is the pressures of formula and what MTV might want, or VH1 might want," begins the 36-year-old singer. Does that cross their minds? "It obviously doesn't enter our minds," he snorts. "We've paid the price for it not entering our minds." While he's obviously referring to records and singles that did better -- or worse -- than others...."" I say: Um, is it just me or does it seem like the interviewer missed the point of Michael's comment? Perhaps it's taken out of context so that I'm missing the meaning but it seems to me he is referring to MTV's ban of their videos with the *pressures of formula* and paying the price. Have I missed the point? It says: " there's the question of the pointed tune "Don't Lose Your Head," which sounds as if it must be directed at a particular person. "[It's about] a couple of guys," Hutchence acknowledges flippantly, "who shall remain nameless. It's more about a type of person, I suppose... with a lack of consciousness. It came after a night in Dublin, and it ended in fisticuffs." I say: Dana? You've heard the song - what possible *guys* in this oasis of humanity could he be talking about? Can you clue us in? It says: "...Tim Farriss is making his first foray into acting..." I say: Acting? Timmy? When, where, how and why didn't I know about this when I had the chance to ask him more about it....... . It says: "Eventually...." Hutchence begins, trailing off with a laugh. Although it seems as if the singer might be ready to allude to a distant future sans INXS, Farrris jumps in to finish Hutchence's thought: "It will be #2 while we're #1 on the charts..." I say: Why is it that everyone in the word wants to make Hutch jump into the waters of solitude? I know that a whole bunch of other lead singers have done it - but why after 20 years of success do they think Michael would want to? They always got to make a mountain out of a molehill.

It's always tough to compare albums, but I'll give it a try. It's not Kick or X, that's for sure. I'd say it's closer to the last two albums in that it's a rock album. It has more energy and a bit more of a pop sensibility though. It's not a completely new sound - I think it continues along the path and a couple of the songs do veer in a new direction (a bit psychedelic).

Held in a production studio in the San Fernando Valley, there was a large crowd of extras and production crew, record company personnel and at least 2 video cameras rolling. There was only time for quick hellos when they took a break. The band was behind the set most of the time until called and then rehearsed continuingly. That day they were being taped hanging around a circular riser in an "airport" lobby, equipment cases about, Michael singing with the rest of the guys seemingly waiting for the flight. It's true there's a lot of "hurry up and wait" while the video crew sets up the shots, angles and blocking. Many hours of hanging around, and yes, it does seem like it could get boring (even though I was way too excited to be bored!). And they looked great! A little bit glam and very fresh. Lynne, the stylist found some appropriately colorful duds for the guys. Jon in a mustard colored leather coat, Tim wearing a green leather jacket, Kirk in blue-lensed glasses and red & black spats, Garry with an orangey buzz cut. Andrew looked smashing in a multicolored stripped jacket (and those wild red/white & black plaid pants Michael wore I hear belonged to Paula). It was so exciting to see them all again, three years later! For the first few hours only the beginning strains of Elegantly Wasted were played over and over and right before I left, I got to hear the whole song from beginning to end. It's a real rocker and should be a big hit off the new album. It will be facinating to see how the video comes out, after the special effects are added. Got to meet Paul Craig (an amiable fellow!) at last, and have a quick discussion about the fan club. Things should start happening in January, so stay tuned!

In that case, it could be Walter Stern, then, who did the excellent "Firestarter" video for the Prodigy. I'm more inclined to think that the director is the person who did "Breathe," the Prodigy's current single.

So since Dana and Mary are the only ones who have heard it, this is directed at them. As everyone is aware, everything is riding on this album for the band. It is a pivitol moment in their careers. For this album to work, it all depends on the quality of the first single. If the first single doesn't work, the album will loose it's momentum and quickly be forgotten. Look what happend to FMDH. So the question is, does this single have what it takes? Is it catchy enough that it will raise eyebrows and make people excited about INXS again? Wouldn't we all love to know people are dancing to INXS music again! Is this single comparabe to one of the great singles of all time, Suicide Blonde? Is it a mix of synthisizer and guitar or is it heavy guitar only, like The Gift. Let's hope the band has toned down that hard sound. It didn't work for them obviously. So I hope one of you can give us the scoop. Weather we like it or not the entire future of INXS rides on this first single. Bands have comeback from one album that has bombed, but never from two duds in a row. This has to work. Will it??

It does "seem" that for some of the more popular bands that the videos are done so very soon after one is released and that's why I asked. For instance just recently I noticed the new REM video is out so quickly after the "E-Bow The Letter" video. Guess the band's got plenty of time to do some videos before the actual album release. The fact that only one video shoot appears to have been scheduled, you don't think that idicates Mercury's reluctance to do more unless there is a "buzz" with the new album do you? Or again, is it simply a band choice not to do anymore just yet? Then again, guess I'm just plain ignorant about these time table things. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list From: DaGro1@aol.com Date: Sun, 22 Dec 1996 00:16:19 -0500 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: Videos and First Single Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: DaGro1@aol.com Sue - It's perfectly normal to do only one video before the album is released. Considering that the video won't even be released till March, I think it shows good faith that the band and Mercury got it together to shoot it this early! As for the first single, Philip, I think it's a very strong song and a good one with which to start. It is a mix of instrumentation and a very strong vocal. There was considerable discussion about the first single - the record companies in the UK, US and Australia were involved with the band in this decision. Most agreed that this was the right choice for the first single. One thing that had to be taken into account was that although some songs might work better in some countries and others elsewhere, Mercury wanted to release the same first single worldwide. This one was the best choice. Don't worry, really. A lot of work is already being done on this release and the company is behind this album!!!

(heh -- I have to go dig out INXS' Merry Christmas song!) Stay Young -- such a beautiful, powerful song. It still ranks among my Top Ten Favorite INXS songs, and remains for me the band's pinnacle in those early early years... The music seems like a big step up from earlier material, and the little background vocal assistance from Karen Ansell was a divine touch. The song also showcases one of the main lyrical themes of the band -- sex, yet again. :) I just picked up the Cool World: 41 Essential Australian Rock Singles collection, and Stay Young was a wonderful choice for inclusion. But I must confess, listening to these CDs has really exposed my lack of Aussie music knowledge -- I knew only about 8 or 9 of the songs!

I hope all who celebrated had a Merry Christmas! I was talking with a friend of mine who works at the local Adult Comtemporary station about INXS, and he was saying that he thought that "Elegantly Wasted" should have been released before Christmas instead of April 15th. His reasoning is that this season seemed to be a weak one with the major releases being the Nirvana and REM cds. He went on to say that it may have been a great time because: 1. You know that the media will wrongly call this CD a "comeback" (even though those of us who are enlightened know that it really isn't) and it may have received more attention because of the lack of competition, and 2. There will be more releases to compete with in the spring (U2, Aerosmith, etc.) I told him I'd share this with the other INXSaries on the mailing list and see what they'd have to say. BTW, he's not really an INXS fan, he's just tired of playing Alanis, Mariah, Melissa, etc. Inxslvr X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list Date: Fri, 27 Dec 1996 17:43:44 -0500 X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net To: INXS-list@iastate.edu From: Sue Subject: Re: INXS record release Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Sue >2.

It's every bit the definition of a comeback. INXS has one chance to get everything right. If that first single fails, the album is doomed. With three comercial failures in a row, we all know that that will most likely be the end. We have to be realistic. It's all or nothing with this album. End of story.

Did the last 2 albums have the same commercial success of Kick and X? Obviously not but that doesn't mean they went away. There are hundreds of bands that are successful musically but not commercially. Look at Sonic Youth. They've been around for years but have not achieved great commercial success.

I'm starting to get very tired of people second guessing decisions whose impact has yet to be felt. Don't lament the fact that the album wasn't released before X-Mas, because you don't know what would've happened, nor do you know what will happen in April. I think that we're past this argument and should be thinking about how great it's going to be when the album is released. I will add that there was no way that the album could've been released before X-Mas because it simply was not ready. In order for an album to make an impact for X-Mas, it has to be out by mid November. Radio stations freeze their playlists in December, so very very few new songs get added to rotations. Retail stores use all of their discretionary buying money to stock up on the sure fire sellers - albums that are already popular. They're not taking any chances during prime buying season. Advertising dollars are spent with the same ideas in mind. The album was not fully finished, there was no art work (there still is no finished art), no time to do advance publicity, etc. It would not have worked. The album release was a decision made by the record company and the band - the band knows what it takes to make an impact and agreed with the choice to wait until the Spring. The Aerosmith and U2 albums are being released in March, a full month before the INXS album. There should be room for all of them. Besides, the U2 album is a dance album - the first single is called "Discotheque" and one scene in the video features the members of U2 dressed up and dancing as The Village People. It is very unlike the INXS single. A comeback does not necessarily imply that the comebackee has dropped out altogether, it just means that the comebackee's former success has returned. Look at John Travolta - he keeps getting labeled as a comeback and he never stopped working. As I've written before - GIVE MERCURY A CHANCE BEFORE YOU START DISAGREEING WITH EVERY MOVE THE COMPANY MAKES! Thank you.

Time after time I have seen record labels give half-assed (pardon the language) efforts to eighties bands in the nineties. As if they are not worth full promotion. Look at Pet Shop Boys, Tears For Fears, and George Michael. All had new albums and the record labels did pathetic jobs of prmoting these albums. We all just want to know that this is not going to happen with this label and that Mercury realizes the gravity of this album. We don't want this band to die! So you say that the INXS single is not like the U2 single, which is danceable. This really concerns me. I thought you said this was the right choice. The radio is starving for a rock dance song. There is none out there and this is what the band needs to have a break through hit. Anything else will most likely only get them a half hit. Look at Not Enough Time and Beautiful Girl. The world is waiting for high energy dance number like Suicide Blonde or The Reflex by Duran. Grunge is dead. I still have faith, but I'm really beginning to worry. Anyone else.

If INXS has a poor showing with this album, it's Mercury that will also lose since they are investing a lot of time and money into the project in the long run. I think we need to try and have a little faith in them, at least until we see the results. I also don't think that the band will just blindly be led down any promotion path after all these years. I don't think they want to be hyped as anything more than they are or any less. I know they hate the industry labels and will no doubt want to avoid as much of that as possible. I know it's probably totally impossible to avoid it with the media but I also believe that they will give it their best shot at redefining themselves to the public. And I think it's also hard for those of us in the general public to really be able to appreciate all that goes into putting out a record, the timeframe, the atmosphere, etc. But it's very easy to become quickly frustrated with not seeing our favorite band being treated they way we believe they should be. OK, I'm off my soapbox for now. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. I know I'm looking forward to an INXS-filled New Year!!

I don't think Dana was trying to tell anyone what to say or think. She is at the heart of this album release and knows what's going on behind the scenes better than anyone. For starters, I think Mercury is putting a great deal of effort into the new album considering I've heard far more buzz about this one than the previous two. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling good vibes about this one. I think the timing is right with MTV and radio stations all over the country starting to change their formats back to a better variety of artists. Has anyone tuned into MTV lately and noticed the abundance of music, as well their big push for the new channel, M2? I'm also not too worried about the competition. U2's album release was delayed because they had to re-write/record songs that many felt were not satisfactory. INXS' album was delayed to put together a stronger promotional package. That's a big difference and a good sign for us. And I'm not too worried about Aerosmith, either. It's very difficult to predict what will be successful. In 1996, Pearl Jam and R.E.M. flopped. The only thing I'm concerned about is that Oasis is threatening to release a new album in April or May (if they don't kill each other first). That would indeed be competition.
