This is one of those INXS songs that I just can't help but sing along to a high volume. When I heard that Ray Charles was doing a duet with INXS I was excited because I like Ray Charles a lot, but a bit suspicious that it might of been a marketing ploy to get more publicity for the album. Obviously it didn't work if it was. I remember reading that INXS wanted Ray Charles to sing on an alternative song. Does any one know which one what was? Craig.

It's my second favorite song on FMDH, and I never get sick of it. Cool guitar riffs, awesome drum beat, great sing-along chorus and Michael's vocals are exceptionally strong. This is the INXS song I pop into my car stereo when I have passengers, because they all can't help but sing along and ask, "Hey, who is this band?"

I'm not going to trash firefly here, yet when I accessed their site during the past few days and tried repeatedly to figure out their purpose and how to seque into and work with their format, I got pretty frustrated and gave up. When I read the intro to the up-coming chat with INXS and they named Tim as the bassist, I figured it was a pretty loosey-goosey kind of thing and they didn't have a lot of info. They probably aren't to blame, just trying out a new groovy thing. Too bad we couldn't get the band to do the same thing with US, the established INXS on-line community (the mailing list and especially, Neil). Maybe later, when the "www.inxs.com" is up and running. And no, sorry I still don't have any info about when that will be happening.

I'm not new in here, but now I've got proper Net access I'll be participating more in here more, so heres a message from me :-) I'm from England and I'd just like to say whats going on in the Media with INXS, Michael and their music. First of all, Their getting great support from Virgin Radio! There playing there songs all the time plus the presenter is allways mentioning their names and snippets of the songs... And my local radio station plays INXS hits too quite frequently. There gonna be on TFI Friday (A tv show with the latest music, interviews etc..presented by Chris Evans) As was said on the 'next week' bit by the presenter. So A LOT of people will be seeing INXS perform there! Plus the presenter will probably interview Michael as well. As for the Media, I haven't seen any bad things about Michael and Paula in the papers for ages! I think the media has got bored with him, Good! Although they are in nearly every issue of 'Hello' magazine, but only good things... like them wanting to buy a house in Sydney and their trip to the south of France. I think that this will be a succesfull album and single, and I'm dying to hear it!!!!!!

Week: 'INXS ARE ALIVE, BABY, ALIVE' (by Molly Meldrum) (with group picture from ARIA's) INXS are back! I know I've been critical of them in the past, but the band is set to deliver a great album. Elegantly Wasted - their 10th studio album and their first since 1993's Full Moon, Dirty Hearts - will be released on April 7. The first single will be the title track out March 10. I had a good listen to the album when I went to Sydney to interview Michael Hutchence, Tim Farriss and Kirk Pengilly. A few years back I had the infamous run-in with the band when I bagged their Live Baby Live album on Hey Hey It's Saturday. I just didn't think it was a good album. Michael then blamed the album's failure on me, saying I had cost them many album sales. That's simply not true. The album also failed to live up to expectations in the U.S. - where I have no influence whatsoever. That's all in the past, but I was still a bit reluctant about the interview, and when the album arrived thought: "What if I don't like it ?". Fortunately, I like it. It's refreshing and packed with loads of new sounds without losing that classic INXS feel. It's a very confident-sounding album, recorded in Canada with producer Bruce Fairbairn, who has worked with AC/DC, Bon Jovi and The Cranberries. Let's hope Michael's high profile doesn't overshadow Elegantly Wasted. It deserves to be heard. INXS did a secret warm-up gig in Sydney on January 29. They're planning a 12-month "worldwide assault" to promote the album, so expect to see some pub and club shows in Australia. Here's another article from the same mag about the secret Sydney show: 'INXS PLAY SECRET GIG' (with picture of Michael performing at the gig - black jeans & boots with purple satin shirt with blue tinted glasses with one knee leaning on a stool) INXS played a secret gig in Sydney, airing new material from their 10th studio album Elegantly Wasted (due April 7). It is a real fresh start for us," guitarist Tim Farriss says, after the bands's three-year absence. "A new record company around the world, new management and, in many ways, starting a new album feels like almost a new beginning." Most diehard INXS fans were not disappointed by the new stuff (which has a late-Eighties feel), delivered by a relaxed Michael Hutchence. The closed-door show was the first live performance by INXS since the group debuted a new track, Searching at last years ARIA Awards. Because of the song's lukewarm reception, the group will now release Elegantly Wasted, the more dynamic title-track, as the first single.

I don't know if we discussed this before but the Aspen show was not performed unplugged. In fact, VH-1 had to come out during the set and interrupt because the boys were rocking the house so much that they thought the floor might collapse. Also, the band did a lot of South American press while they were in NYC. Michael and Tim also had a really good time doing the Sonicnet chat. It was their first! They had me laughing so hard. They were a real riot. I hope that they transcribe it word for word.

Doesn't it make sense to release around the same time. That way if someone hears the song, they say "Hey, great song, think I'll buy it" , then go to the store & it's not there. Wouldn't there be a little concern then that the person would forget about it and not buy it later?

Their legacy just seems to follow me into the most interesting places... I went to LA today on business to do a press check at Ivy Hill, who happens to be the company that printed the US pop-up cd packaging for X and the Eco-Flip pack for WTWYA (and I think the Live Baby Live deluxe package, although no one there seemed to remember that one). There on the shelf in the design department was the X pop-up cd. I told my printing rep about my association with the band, and then I was introduced to the production manager who actually flew to Mexico to train the workers and oversee the assembly and gluing of the band's pop-up figures into the cd packaging. He remembers it as one of the most complicated diecut and assembly jobs they ever did. He remembers hand cutting the band on the original prototypes. He was extremely proud to have worked on it. It eventually won some industry packaging awards. We talked about the Eco-Flip pack and how that failed in the marketplace (not the band's fault of course). It just never got off the ground as a new packaging concept and Ivy Hill lost a potentially huge financial windfall because of the plastic industry's stranglehold on jewel case manufacturing. Kind of interesting, huh?!

For me personally, I will not buy a whole lot of music from any one artist, unless I like all of their music. And INXS is definately a group that I like every little bit of music they make. Vocals, lyrics, instruments....all are done wonderfully in this band. I think that what Neil talks about is a good example of just how narrowminded people can get. Those that are looking for a particular sound or style from artists. That is what I like about INXS, their ability to have various "styles" going on, or, as I heard Michael put it during a radio interview after the Devil Inside portion of the Kick tour, "a little something for everyone." And they do that so well, while maintaining their own signature on what they do. Me personally, I am a tad narrow minded about what genre of music I listen to, as in, I will not even consider listening to any county western stuff. (sorry if I insult anyone who may like the music, but I hate it) I need to hear basically strictly rock style. And there are so many "subgenres" withing rock that there is plenty to like. One thing I find a bit scary these days, is that the older I get, (40 is right around the corner...just a few more years to go) I start broadening my tastes in music a bit more. These days, I've discovered a group in the "Goth rock" arena of rock, I am also discovering a liking of classical music. Egads, I'm turning into an "old person." ;^) Well, enough of my ramblings....back to quietly lurking.

There is going to be losers and winners I guess. Virgin have always been good to Inxs - 2-3 tracks a day at least - in fact Inxs' 'Born To Be Wild' was the first track played when the station started. And they pushed FMDH hard. Trouble is the average Virgin listener doesnt buy singles. Inxs therefore need airplay from Radio 1 and others, to make the charts (IMHO).

First of all, Roxette could release as many singles as they want in the U.S., it's not going to make much of a difference anyway. Second of all, Def Leppard has, in fact, released at least 2 singles from "Slang" in the U.S. (they are prominently displayed at Tower Records) and they went nowhere on the charts. Tower also has huge Def Leppard posters hanging in many of their stores. The album is not selling because simply no one is buying it. It sounds nothing like the previous 3 albums (which all sounded exactly alike), and hasn't caught on with their fan base. To call the strategy idiotic is a bit extreme. Many groups release radio singles prior to commercial singles with much success. U2's "Discotheque" hit the airwaves and MTV a month ago with no commercial release until last Tuesday. The hype for the album began as soon as the song hit the airwaves. They will be on the next cover of "Q" magazine even though the album doesn't come out for another month. This sort of pre-release hype is very common and can be very successful. It tests the commericial feasibility for future releases. I think Mercury knows what they are doing.

True, Roxette could release as many singles as they want in the US without a difference because no one remembers who they are any more due (at least partly) to poor marketing. They still continue to sell well in other countries where singles (and albums for that matter) are released. Yes, Def Leppard does have singles from Slang, but the first wasn't released until some months after the album. The single not released in the US, Work It Out, which was also the first single released in the rest of the world, actually did reasonably well. Anyway, I'm not trying to defend these bands, I'm just trying to give examples - maybe they weren't good ones. >To call the strategy idiotic is a bit extreme.

Yes, but in this case we're getting the impression that there will be no commercial single in the US to go with the radio release, because they want to make money quickly from the album. Force people into buying the album because they can't buy the single - stuff the fans who want remixes/b-sides because they'll import them from other countries. I'm not saying Mercury aren't doing a good job promotion-wise - from what I've heard they are. Releasing a single a month after it goes to radio is annoying but acceptable. But I think that not releasing one at all shows that the label is in it for the money, not the music, and while I do understand that record labels need to make a profit, in the end the music industry is still about making music.

Brent, I see your point, but I still think that the lack of success of some of these bands may have more to do with a fickle audience (As James noted, we have a VERY short attention span in the U.S.). The alternative grunge movement of the early 90's commercially wiped out a lot of these bands for good. I'm not saying they may never come back successfully, but that may explain why some of these bands didn't do so well in this decade. We are now seeing the sales of "grunge" groups decline rapidly (Pearl Jam's latest was a flop), so obviously another change is coming. Bands like Prodigy and The Cardigans are seeing some real success, so I think 1997 will be a very interesting year for music. >Yes, but in this case we're getting the impression that there will be no >commercial single in the US to go with the radio release, because they want >to make money quickly from the album. Maybe Dana can answer this one. I was under the impression that there will be an eventual commercial single release. I assumed there would be such a release since Dana mentioned B-sides earlier.

U2's new one was out for nearly a month before the single was for sale.

Yes, the US audience is very fickle (as someone in INXS has already mentioned from memory, Michael maybe). And the impression I get from the other side of the world is that US record companies have virtually given up trying to deal with that fickle audience unless they have a sure-fire hit (which of course doesn't really exist - nothing is sure-fire). Which may be justified - maybe they've been bitten too many times by spending a heap on promotion and not getting the return in sales. Maybe the reason some singles aren't being released is because the response to them on radio wasn't good so the plans for a commercial release were shelved? >Maybe Dana can answer this one. I was under the impression that there will be >an eventual commercial single release. I assumed there would be such a >release since Dana mentioned B-sides earlier. I would hope so, but in the the last couple of years there have been numerous singles (many from Mercury who seem to be good at this) released overseas and not in the US, or, even worse for the fans, the single is released in the US but doesn't contain some or even any of the b-sides that were on the overseas single (presumably to cut down on royalties paid to the band/writers). I hope it doesn't happen in this case, because I do think it will damage the bands US profile.

Most countries do a brisk business in commercial singles and the singles charts are extremely significant. The US is no longer a big singles market. Some acts do sell a lot of singles and most of them have albums that do not sell. They are then dismissed by the public as "one-hit wonders" and disappear. Your example of Roxette is quite appropriate (though they lasted a little longer than most). The objective in not selling singles is not to "make quick money on albums," but to grow and develop the artists as artists, not as single songs. When people buy full albums, they learn a lot more about the artist and his/her music than if they just buy one song.

In Hebrew, the phrase would be "Ah-'nee o-'have o-'tach" when said by a male to a male and "Ah-'nee o-'have ot-'cha" when said by a male to a female. Pronunciation note - the "ch" is a gutteral sound, like when saying "yuck" or "blech" and softening the end of the word. Emphasis syllable is the last syllable in each word. I believe that the German is "Ich leibe dich" but I'm not positive. Pronunciation in this case - the "ch" is also gutteral but closer to the "sh" sound. I hope this helps!

The good news is the band are sounding great! Michaels singing was easily the best to have ever been on the show. The (possibly) bad news is that they played Need U tonight and _not_ Elegantly Wasted! I guess the wisdom of that will be debated on the list. I'm in two minds: 1. It was a great performance of arguably their strongest and most well known track. It wakes everyone up to INXS' existence - "oh yeah what a great track that was - where can I get more of this band". They may then be rescheduled to play Elegantly Wasted at its time of release (especially as they will be doing promo stuff in Europe about then). :-) or 2. TFI has a tradition of showcasing new bands and releases. With a whole album of new material in the bag and three years since the last one I expected new stuff, and so was disappointed. To play a track that is 10 years old is a backward step. It doesnt help the perception of inxs as an 80s band undergoing a sad revival (re: Duran). Should they not have a little more confidence in their new material (or is it ...) :-( Michael was the main personality interview beforehand and came over very well. -- Paul B X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list From: "BPRice" To: "Matthew Marsland" , Subject: Re: E.W.

I agree; it is a great disappointment (especially since everyone on this list was looking forward to it). I'm completely puzzled by it, as well. WHY? I can't even begin to speculate.

I really hate for people to think - Are they still playing THAT song, haven't they got anything new? IMO, it wasn't a great move, then again, I'm not in the business nor know anything about the business so I'm guessing someone told them it would be a good idea. Long and short of it, I too can't figure out why they would play Need You Tonight instead of Elegantly Wasted. A baffled Sue.

The reason I've been prompted to post this is that I listened to FMDH the other day and realized just how good an album it really is. The songs are all solid and there were some potentially strong singles (the title track and "Cut Your Roses", specifically) that were passed over. It's a STRONG album. It just wasn't given a fair shot, I think. It seems to me that everybodies attitude towards FMDH is pretty negative. It's almost as if everyone is being influenced by the low sales and low publicity it received. And nobody can really say the critics trashed it; most of the reviews I've read were actually quite favorable (Rolling Stone gave it three stars, Entertainment Weekly gave it a B, and Q Magazine gave it four stars). It's unfortunate that nobody noticed the album, because it really is a more accomplished album than the mega-selling Kick; it was like the public didn't want to here anything by "INXS". I think that if FMDH--or Welcome...--were released by another band, one of the "hot, new" bands out there, it would have recieved non-stop airplay and attention from the industry. (And had their music, conversely, been released by INXS, no one would have noticed.) And I don't think it was marketed to the fullest, either. Oh, MTV gave a half-hearted attempt, airing the FMDH full-length video (which I recorded, and which omits two songs, "I'm Only Looking" and "Viking Juice") and having Tim and Michael on "Alternative Nation" with Kennedy, but the video was aired at the worst times--Sunday night at 10pm CST and a couple nights later at one in the morning. But after the video for "The Gift" failed to make an impression, only being aired for what seemed to me a couple of days, MTV didn't even play the video for "Please (You Got That...)" or "Time", the only other singles from that album. (You would have thought a duet with Ray Charles would have raised some eyebrows.) And considering the band split with Atlantic a few months later, we can assume Atlantic didn't really care enough to give the album a decent push. I also feel "The Gift" was the wrong song to release as the first single. It's a terrific video (didn't it win best group video in Australia?), but I think that "Please..." was the clear cut candidate for that. And certainly the title track, with Chrissie Hinde should have been released. Maybe they planned to after "Time", but felt it wouldn't be worth it after the previous three singles went nowhere (through no fault of their own). But I don't think the fans should be harsh towards it as a result. It was a great album that DID NOT get a fair shot, or get the attention it deserved. Maybe the three year hiatus by the band was just what INXS (and the public) needed. Now, maybe, the industry is at the point where it will go, "INXS? Hey! Alright! They're back! I'm glad to see they made a new album after Kick!" (While we fans slap our foreheads and grind our teeth in frustration!) Well, that's about all I have to say. Thanks for reading the whole post!

FMDH was one of my favourite albums, and The Gift is right up there as one of my favourite songs, it is definitely my favourite videos. I wish it had been a more poplular album, too. But I do have a new fan, a relative of mine who hasn't liked anything INXS has done since Kick, saw the videos I have from that album last time she was here and she loved The Gift, too. She has now become an INXS fan again and says she will have to give a listen to the stuff between Kick and FMDH. Maybe FMDH was just released at a time when there was so much of the same stuff out there that it was to different to be popular. I know I loved it, but then I'd love them if they sang the alphabet.

LOL, love this image and ain't it the truth. Actually I think Brian brought up some interesting points. I was one of those that was pretty negative about the album, put not because of other opinions or low sales. Heck look at my cd collection, not exactly full of top 10 bands. My feelings on FMDH always stemmed from the fact that I thought it sounded rushed and put together rather quickly. Where am I going with this? Well I too had FMDH in the cd player the other day and now I'm starting to feel differently about it. I still don't think it had many singles in it (something I personally don't care one way or another about in an album), but I feel differently about the whole flow and sound of the 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: mckenzy@sirius.com Date: Sun, 16 Feb 1997 17:18:32 -0800 X-Sender: mckenzy@pop.sirius.com To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Band Bio Questions Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: mckenzy@sirius.com Hey everyone, One of the things I'm planning for the fanclub (remember that??) are seperate bios of each band member. On each sheet I want to include questions to ask each of them (the same questions) and I want to know what ideas you all have. I don't want to see things like.."What's your favorite blah, blah, blah...", but more thought provoking, amusing, revealing, character driven, insightful and with a fresh bent. We all know they've answered a million questions during their careers so what slant can we come up with that will be really memorable? For example, in U2's Propaganda, they asked the guys some really interesting things like, "one personal insight into your present circumstances", "one recent discovery", "one thing worth thinking about", "two books been reading", and then they'd just have short answers. Or it could be questions that require more response but that the guys would delight in answering and have funny things to say. Have fun with this and send in your ideas. Send them directly to me, or to the list if you think it's so inspiring and everyone would want to read what you wrote. Also, anyone out there want to write the bios of each guy?

I've been trying for days to listen to this track that everyone's talking about and when I least expected it - THERE IT WAS. I have to say what a great track it is!!!! Excellent vocals from Michael and some wicked guitar. THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN WITH STYLE! If the album is half as good as this song then it'll be fantastic. Any news of UK single or album release dates? I agree with everyone else who saw TFI Friday. The interview (short though it was) was good, but I'm sure Chris Evans could have asked some better questions than "How much does it cost to punch a photographer?". I'm sure everyone has heard that one before, it's old news now. (20,000 Pounds in case anyone is wondering). The opening credits listed Michael Hutchence and then INXS which annoyed me a bit as well. INXS are a band, not Michael's support. When they played Need You Tonight they were also introduced as "Michael Hutchence and his band". Anyway, the performance was great! THE classic song that'll never die. I was hopeful for something off of the new album though. Maybe next time? Does anyone know of other UK TV appearances? We all know they are the best band in the world, and come the new album, so will everyone else - forget Oasis. Good though they are, they'll be the "Has beens" as Liam and Noel called Michael at the Brit awards.

Well, I thought I would keep quiet in this whole FMDH debate, but then I saw this posting -- to attack WTWYA is pure sacrilege to me! This album (along with The Swing) is the greatest recording INXS has ever made! It's daring, exciting, musically adventurous, *and* lyrically challenging. WTWYA is an album of experimentation and change that works perfectly. From the exciting intro of "Questions," it rocks into "Heaven Sent." They then deftly move into "Communication," easily their most "experimental" song to date. Not slowing up a bit, you next get "Taste It," an anthemic INXS classic, and "Not Enough Time," a moment of pure brilliance... What an opening 5 songs! As for your contention that the album falls apart after "Beautiful Girl," au contraire -- "Wishing Well" and "Strange Desire" are two of my favorites off the album -- sultry, passionate, and might I add, purely sexual songs, that epitomize the band. The controversial album ender, "Men & Women," might not do it for everyone, but the fact that it is a constant source of argument and debate among "those who love it" and "those who hate it" prove its worth to the album -- M&W demonstrates INXS' willingness (on this album at least) to throw convention to the wind and chart their own path.

I think you're being too harsh on the band, John. Sure the album is lacking in many ways, but chalk it up to inexperience, not a lack of talent. "Stay Young" was, and still is, a brilliant song that I can listen to at any time... I also love "Horizons" a lot... As for the title track, this week's SOTW, it's a very very good song! The musical hook that runs throughout the song is pretty damn catchy, and I just love the lyrics!

Remember this came out in the early 80's. There wasn't alot of production in music videos then. The music in 1981 was very different than now. You only had the choices of dinosaur rock, disco/synth pop and punk. Being in the US I didn't get this album until the later years and punk being my choice of music at the time I was pleasantly surprised how they seemed to blend all the styles. I grant you that if you were too young in 1981 to be into music this album may not do anything for you but for those of us who survived the early 80's it's a nice 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: "paul" To: Subject: inxs chat transcript Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 15:03:21 -0800 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: "paul" for all of us who missed it, a transcript of the inxs chat on sonic net is up. http://www.sonicnet.com/sonicore/chat/ paul ________________________________________ pauldean@wcug.wwu.edu http://wcug.wwu.edu/~pauldean X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 18:34:07 -0500 X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net To: INXS-list@iastate.edu From: Sue Subject: Re: inxs chat transcript Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Sue >for all of us who missed it, a transcript of the inxs chat on sonic net is >up. > >http://www.sonicnet.com/sonicore/chat/ There's alot missing from the transcript.

It was unmoderated - chaotic - and completely overwhelming, especially for the newbies, probably for the guys themselves.

They were using cheap studios, and the sound quality is a little hurting as a result. Honestly, that's it. "Just Keep Walking" is many people's favorite song by INXS period, and yes, they *do* play the song often... Most recently throughout the "Get Out Of The House" Tour in 93-94. And funny you should mention "Roller Skating." I was just listening to an old boot by the band from their 83 tour in the US, and um... yes, they played "Roller Skating"!!! :) (They also played "JKW" and "In Vain.") I do agree with your argument John about the band finding their own direction starting with Shabooh Shoobah. But, I still like the first two albums just for what they are -- fun, ska/punk albums from a band that wore its heart on its sleeve in those early days of inexperience... > I know there is alot of inexperience, but > "Shabooh Shoobah" was released just over a year from "UTC" and the > difference is night and day.

She took the opportunity to ask Michael Hutchence when she met him in 1988 why the band didn't play any old songs in concert. (First, Michael asked what does she mean by old songs and she said from the first two albums, particularly IN VAIN her fave) and his reply was "BECAUSE WE'RE BORED WITH IT" and that's a direct quote. But he went on to say that "In Vain" is also his brother's fave song and he asks the same question. :) So, INXS played all those songs to death while they were a pub band and I guess they like to play the new stuff now instead. I'm sure someday we'll see them once again want to break out in "Stay Young" or "In Vain". :) BethGROOVE@aol.com From: "Byron Reed" To: "Sue" Subject: Re: SOTW#23 - Underneath The Colours Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 23:52:56 -0600 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal > > INXS SONG OF THE WEEK #24 - Underneath The Colours > > Myself, I don't own the first two albums, and have only seen/heard the songs that are on the "Greatest Video Hits" video ("Just Keep Walking", "The Loved One", and "Stay Young").

To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Date: Wed, 19 Feb 1997 18:34:06 +0100 (MET) Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Andre Henriksson Hi And finally it got played on the radio here in Sweden too. The RJ spoke some about the band that too many had forgotten due to the average sales of FMDH here in Sweden, but that they are back stronger than ever and that Elegantly wasted was a strong single that surely will become a huge radiohit here in Sweden. He also mentioned that the competition was hard, because of U2, they are are at top three at almost every playlist, both at TV and radio with Discoteque(though i think it's a strong track, but the'll never compete with INXS(fast fillin)). I think the single is a perfect release here in Sweden, because what the mainstreambuyer want is songs with easy refrains and average guitarriffs(though want i want is strong ones like Time for example or Heaven sent) and songs that fits in to this label WILL sale, no doubt but that one. Another good thing is that the youngsters here are quite retro for the moment, meaning that they do want bands that do not belong to the 90:s onehitwonders. As I said, i think that elegantly wasted was a little bit weak, but i should not judge after listening to it ones at the supermarket trying to buy a new couple of shoes. Signing out...

I switched on my radio the other day (the 19th I think) and EW was playing. Brilliant I thought as I cranked up the volume. But following the track things got even better. Michael was a guest on Jo Whilley's lunchtime show on Radio One! He was only on for about quarter of an hour (unless I missed the start) but did confirm that INXS are going to do a gig for the charity event Comic Relief. I'm sure they said it was on 1st March and it would be broadcast live on Radio One. The venue is unknown as yet. I expect it will be in secret with only a few select fans like the one they did in a Cub Scout (!) hut for the Greatest Hits album. This was live on Radio One at the time as was absolutely great, so I can't wait for this one! Better still, Michael confirmed that they would be playing about 6 tracks from the new album. Funny thing was, Michael didn't know himself where or when it was! Jo Whilley had to tell him (when it was, not the venue). Anyone who knows anymore about this i.e. how I can beg, borrow or steal a ticket, please e-mail me. I agree with Neil about Radio One airplay. EW has been played everytime I've listened to it, including this morning. I don't know much about the net, but it seems from reading your messages that some of you can listen to UK radio stations through it. If you want to catch EW on Radio One, I think the best time is probably between 7.30am and 9am GMT. Any more news about this concert, I'll let you know.

I don't want to get into a fight with Mercury, but I *completely* disagree with the company over this, and it actually offends me that they value their privacy over this information. What the hell difference does it make to them whether lyrics are posted on a web site? The album hasn't even been released! They're just sitting there, that's all. I have taken off the club dates, but I'm letting it be known right here that I am 100% not happy about it. I am one of those who believes in Internet freedom -- people have a right to know, and no-one should be able to control what is out there... Let me mention the whole U2 fiasco with Island trying to censor radio stations and web sites from putting up music samples, etc. I think they (the company) was way out of line and I personally applaud those that disseminated the song files. In addition to removing the club dates, I have removed the word "official" from the lyrics, but for the time being, I am keeping them there. Dana, not to attack you, because you know I've always liked you, and I've always appreciated all the info you've passed our way -- but I just don't see what's the big deal. Your name is *NOT* posted anywhere (and never was) with relation to the club dates or the lyrics. Mary first posted the club dates on 2/14 -- I could have posted them then, and then what? What could Mercury say then? I run an *UNOFFICIAL* web site, simply designed to serve as an information center for INXSaries, aka the fans.... I could ramble on and on, but I guess I've hit my major points. I want to stress that I in no way mean any disrespect to you, Dana, and I don't want you to run into any trouble because of any of this with your company, as this is your job we're talking about. If you want to give me a call and talk about this directly (which may be a good idea), don't hesitate... If you absolutely insist that I remove the lyrics, I will do so immediately -- you have my word. I do understand what you're probably going through, and I don't want to make life any more difficult for you. I'm interested in what everyone else thinks.

Bravo! Brilliant, Neil!!! but I think that "Back on Line" is a song to be reminded as a great song too. About "The FMDH Discussion" I saw the video in MTV Brazil in it's full length form and I think that it a really nice album and specially the video for the title track, for "I'm Only Looking" and for "The Messenger" were great to be the single. I really liked the video for "The Messenger", witch shows INXS in a different (and funny :)) )video. Thinking better, maybe people "rejected" FMDH because it shows INXS in a rock and roll style, and they were waiting for a "Suicide Blonde like" album.

We went through this when the album first came out and I was desperately trying to figure out that quote (and especially trying to identify where it came from). We never completely identified all of the lyrics, but got most of them. The first one is pretty easy to decipher (from memory): Down by the riverside On the right back of the river Congregate Zurich's youthful disenchanted Resplendant in full regalia They revel in their role As self-appointed critics of the establishment The next one is more difficult, since Michael sings over the top of it, but it goes (roughly): In an almost uncanny juxtaposition On the left bank of the Limmat And just a stone's throw away Assemble the bourgeoisie Laid-back living and creativity go hand-in-hand The ambience (mumble mumble mumble) each generation Who learn more about their Bohemian influence I remember arguing that it was "left bank of the river", not "Limmat", and that "Bohemian influence" may have instead been "Bohemian image". The stuff in between "ambience" and "each generation" is nearly indecipherable since Michael sings over it. Jeff -- Jeffrey S.

I've translated them myself from Dutch to English (so excuse me for spelling errors). 1. INXS chooses Brussels "It's located centrally and you have good beer." According to Kirk Pengilly and Garry G. Beers, they where here yesterday for a brief moment to explain why the Australian group INXS chose Brussels, to give - in early april - a secret gig to the world press to promote their new CD. The new CD "Elegantly wasted" means a return to the good old INXS-sound. The secret? "We had to find back ourselfs first, before we could find back INXS." (GDL - "Het Nieuwsblad") 2. INXS They always had it in for Belgium. Once, the group around Michael Hutchence gave an exclusive "club" concert in the "Vooruit" before a tour. Now Belgium wins the price again. In the beginning of april, INXS presents the new CD "Elegantly wasted" in a Brussel concert hall to a select public of invited people. The entire world press will be flown over for the exclusive gig, just a few tickets will be available for the fans. I hope my English isn't so bad after all. I'll keep you informed of any new articles from Belgium - Europe. Greetings, Stefan.

But you have to pay 5 pounds to get out of the gig - its one of a series by bands for Comic Relief. However the details of the gig were anounced on Wednesday and I only found out Friday :(.

Oh, well, I guess I should have expected it considering they played U2's "Where The Streets Have No Name" instead of "Discotheque" twenty minutes earlier. Anyway, as the opening strands of "Never..." were playing the DJ read a quote from Michael about being a father, something like, "Being a father's a lot like being a rock and roll star--you keep the same hours." She didn't mention a thing about the new album, however, or anything about any eminent gigs (like the Radio 1 show). That was disappointing considering she did a spat about U2's shows in London that aren't even going to happen until August when their song was on. Brian PS. Listening to Virgin Radio is an interesting change from an American radio station, isn't it? In some ways it's very different (the accents of the DJs, obviously, and they play a lot of songs I never heard of--I suppose they're big over there), but in others it's very similar (the McDonald's commercials and other American advertising).

It's a very good song! They are indeed back in town. Later added: And even more, it's now 17u00 and it's playing AGAIN on the same station. The DJ said that fancy guitar riff's are back in, and that Elegantly wasted is Radio Donna's 'Tip for the Top', so they will be playing it over and over again every day next week.

Neil, You asked for other people's input, so here goes: This is NOT meant to offend you, Neil, but I can only assume that you do not have any extensive experience working for a major corporation. There are MANY legal and technical issues that must be dealt with in any company before information can be released to the public. Although I'm sure Mercury would like nothing more than free P.R. for its artists, they still have to work out many issues before they can just allow their information to go to the public domain. If you think about it rationally, you would conclude that senior managaement at Mercury is NOT sitting around thinking of ways to piss you off. They may still have to finalize publishing and copyright infringement issues, as well as any marketing or promotional issues. All companies have confidentiality policies which are VERY strictly enforced. Mercury is first, and foremost, a corporation that offers a product. Neil, I'm sure there is a logic to their reasoning.

And it took only 50 minutes from the time I tuned in this time instead of the hour and a half (and then hearing "Never Tear Us Apart" instead)! The best thing was that there were no interruptions on it the way there usually is when tuning in during prime hours. Anyway, I like it a lot. It sounds like a combination of "Taste It" and "Shining Star", leaning more toward the latter, I'd say. Same tempo as "Shining Star". Very funky and Michael exudes confidence on vocals. Gary does yet another great job on bass (he's THE most underrated bassist out there today!). Anyone hearing it would immediately think INXS. I'm looking forward to being able to hear it in my stereo instead of in mono on this thing.

Today they are playing brand new songs from what they are calling the world's biggest time-tested best bands. The featured artists include Erasure, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, and yes ladies and gentlemen..INXS. that means I HEARD THE SONG!!!! It is SO good and after it played the dj said the song was his favorite of the four and that you know it is a good INXS song when Michael Hutchence grunts that much...He went on to say that he thinks the album is excellent and can't wait until they start touring...he said this will be a big time for the band. It is exciting that the band is getting so much positive radio attention already.

My question is, I know someone mentioned that there would be two one-hour segments. Is this true? Will VH-1 interchange them? VH-1 lists the shows this Friday, Sat, and Sun as "INXS Rocks the Rockies". However, VH-1 lists the show on Tues as "97 Ski Concert INXS". Would this be different that the first show? Any info would be appreciated. Otherwise, I will just try and tape them all! -Teresa teresa@dunnsys.com X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list Date: Thu, 27 Feb 1997 18:43:52 +0100 From: Jan Are Ansok To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Not nice, Michael Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Jan Are Ansok I just read the newspaper from yesterday, and I noticed that INXS had a release party in Stockholm, Sweden. This female rock'n roll singer (name unknown) was at the same party - and she was sitting at the table chatting with Hutchence. She was screaming and knocking her beer-glass in the table. This had annoyed the guests, and Patrick Sjoberg, a Swedish worldchampion in high-jump telled her to calm down... She didn't like this, and threw her beer-glass in Patricks face. As the blood was dripping from his face, Michael was laughing and shouting to him: "You're a fucking nobody" I was a bit surprised when I read this... And NOT very nice of Mr. Hutchence.....

The few reactions I have heard have been mixed at best. This is starting to look scary. We all know that in order for this band to rightfully return to the mainstream and get back the respect they seem to have lost, they need an amazing first single. There is no room for an iffy song. Does this song do it??? We better all hope, or this could be the shortest comeback in history. I'm not trying to be nagative, I just am trying to emulate the seriousness of where this band is. They need hits to survive and this album has to work. On a similar note, have you all heard the new Aerosmith single. Wow it's amazing. Exactly what radio wants and insatiabley catchy. Can INXS turn out a finely polished tune as good as this? I truly hope so. So let's hear more about EW for all us who have not heard it.

The room was silent the entire duration of the song. After it was over some of the words overheard were: "WOW!" "There back" "It's a hit, we are going to get slammed on requests for this thing" Now personally the first time I heard it was on Virgin and my connection was not the best, but, after hearing it blaring out of a production studio in a radio station, I have to say that if this single is ANY indication of the album, we have one hell of a great album to look forward to. This single is "What they Need". (Couldn't resist).

He was the one making an ass of himself (still is, it seems) by verbally abusing a freind of ours, repeatedly, calling her some very nasty things indeed. 2. When she had finally had enough of his abuse she slammed her drink on the table she was sitting at, a piece of glass flew off and and brushed his face, scratching it. 3. Micheal then got up and walked away, true he may have had a bit of a laugh on the way but the guy had it coming!! I was there and this is exactly what happened, I think this guy is desperate for some publicity and probably trying to save some face (if you'll pardon the pun). Either way I think he should shutup before he makes an aven bigger fool of himself. Hope this helps, Tim. PS. I wont be able to check this list for quite a while now due to many reasons, I'll pop in sometime in April. So buy for now and have a little faith.

Ok, enough prelude (PJ, feel free to send this to the INXS list...) >From Rolling Stone's Review of POP: And yet what makes U2 so fiendishly clever is the way they reinvent themselves without sacrificing the driving riffs and rhyths that have always powered their greatest songs. Coming after the superficial thrill of the glib opener, Discotheque-no more than good INXS, which isn't good enough-Do You Feel Loved arrives as a triumphant reaffirmation of U2's strengths, built on an Adam Clayton bass line as dominant as the one on In God's Country and boasting an instantly unforgettable chorus. And for anyone who finds the more experimental stuff on POP too twisted, there's a trio of, well, rockers(Staring at the Sun, Last Night on Earth, and Gone) that are going to sound just dandy in the coliseums this summer. .

It makes posting all the more worthwhile that knowing our opinions _may_ count for something with the band. Great that you care so passionately also about the music.

(It is made all the more upsetting that I live three miles from the venue!!) Anyhow you would be making a lifelong (well since 16 - 10 years and counting!)
