To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I have also been going to a lot of record stores in the Boston area since the day after the album came out and have found absolutely no promo materials for EW. Not that the stores hadn't hung them up, they hadn't even received them from Mercury. I think that is inexcusable on Mercury's part. Depeche Mode's album came out on the same day as EW and because Depeche Mode's record company had sent promo materials to stores, each store I went to had a prominent Depeche Mode display. When I asked about promo materials in one store, the saleswoman picked up the EW CD turned it over and said "Polygram - that figures. They are very lax". Well, after that, I called the Woburn, MA office of Polygram which is the office that distributes the promo materials. I actually asked if they would be so kind to send me a poster. The woman told me to go to a local record store and get one. I informed her that they didn't have any but she insisted that they were sent out. That was the weekend after the album came out and I haven't seen any publicity up in any record store since. Pretty pathetic!! Also, like it would be any great skin off that person's back to stick a silly poster for me in the mail. Honestly, I don't think their phone is ringing off the hook with people asking for INXS posters or posters from any band for that matter. It would also be nice if they would have some of those cool INXS stickers at the cash register. If record stores don't have any promo materials, no one is going to remember or know that the album is out. Also, while I adore the album cover, you really have to get really close to it and take a good look to know that it is INXS. If people could become familiar with the cover through posters and the like, they would recognize the album better. I even had trouble locating the album. I also think it would have been nice if INXS did some album signings at record stores while they were in the States. From the places like NY and LA that the band was based in for a few days, they could have definitely shot down to Philly or up to Boston relatively quickly and riled up support in those areas not only with fans but also with large record store staff (like Tower or HMV) and with the local press. Oh well. Let's just say I'm a little upset with Mercury at the moment. The lack of promo posters and album flats just blows my mind. I haven't been in a store in about a week but I'm praying that the stores have received something to display by now.

The manager-type there said that the didn't get much from Polygram/Mecury but put up what they got. (I have dibs on the display when it comes down.) He said that his store is gun-shy about the new album because they don't want to get burned like they did with FMDH and (less so) WTWYA. Polygram didn't even give them a promo to play in the store! I'm thinking of loaning them *my* copy just so they'll play it in store.

I worked in a Musicland for 4 years (all through high school), and while we certainly got promo disks from the labels, we gave them out to the staff and our friends. The music we played in the store was from our stock, we'd just open one. There was some way we put it into the computer to let the inventory know it was out of sales rotation, but anything and everything was available to be played. In our store, what got played were disks that reflected the tastes of the employees. My point here is, if they want it played, there shouldn't be a problem that I see. Just tell them to open one up! Nanci, who's glad she worked in a store that allowed her to play more than just the (usually) crap the labels sent out.

I don't agree with this on one side because I can't stand the Crash Test Dummies. I am a Canadian and so I think it's great that they made it big but my nephew's father is the drummer they fired, so I don't like them compared to INXS who are nice guys. But that's just my personal thing. I do have to admit that the Dummies do have a very unique sound which is something they do have in common with INXS but in my opinion, INXS sounds nothing like the Dummies in this song.

Late, Steve From: Marcel de Natris To: "'inxs-list@iastate.edu'" Subject: [INXS] INXS on French TV Date: Fri, 2 May 1997 23:20:04 +-200 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Ik just saw about 3 minutes on the French TV station "TV5". WHY didn't I hear about it ? No French people on the list ?!%$^%^$ They were playing LIVE and afterwards Mike had a short interview. They played "Get it on" (Powerstation) and Mike duetted with a French female singer (I don't know who it was, sorry). I just captured the last minute of the performance, so I don't know what they played before that. The interview was in French (and English for Mike), so now I know how Michael feels when he is interviewed in Holland. Of course I captured some stuff, translations for Michael. First the (female) interviewer asked wheter Mike and "Q" had met before and Mike said "about two hours ago". "Q" joked that they had two children together but he didn't know about it (is this funny, ladies ?) The second question was if Michael listened to French music. He replied he listened to "Qui FM". Next, they tried some Chinese and Japanese greetings (yes, a really mature interview !!!). I am boring you with this. But it was interesting to see that they played a song from "The Power Station". Maybe a B-side for the (third) single ? IMO it was better than GOF, so I wonder... Marcel PS for the tapers: I obviously didn't get to tape it, but it was in a studio with a LIVE audience, therefore the sound could never have been as good as the Dutch Performance (which was in a sound studio) Subject: [INXS] Web page problem Date: Fri, 2 May 97 18:15:55 -0600 X-Sender: nanci@smtp.digitalcastle.com From: Nanci Lamb Roider To: "inxs list" Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi all, I just tried to peek at inxs.com, and couldn't get through.

I'm a big Def Leppard fan, and in my ever-humble opinion Mercury did a lousy job of promoting the Leps last album and tour. Mercury didn't even RELEASE the first single in the states . . . and let me tell you, the band were certainly surprised to hear that when we mentioned it to them! I spoke to DJs in Dallas, Houston and the Chicago area who said that Mercury pretty much sent them the disk in a plain envelope, with the attitude of "play it if you want to." I guess I don't really understand how all of this works. But I am pretty damn dismayed right now that three of my favorite bands are on Mercury Polygram -- and none of them are U2.

It's mainly about Michael ('Mr Sexcess'). I skipped over some boring bits, but I may type them up later. Interesting topics include Michael's early years, how Michael and Andrew met, and Michael's first girlfriend. Cheers, Bruno A. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Mr Sexcess He's the tabloids' favorite rock god stud. But as the soap opera of his life grows ever more luridly successful, what's happening to Michael Hutchence's day job as the lead singer of INXS? MIRANDA SAWYER reports. In the red-and-gold-painted foyer of a Parisian cabaret bar, Michael Hutchence is doing the cancan. He hoiks his designer-wrapped knee to the left, he flicks his snazzy shoe, he tosses his famous Shirley Temple locks like a Champs Elysees coquette. [The next dozen paragraphs are boring - Kylie, Helena, Paula, Bob ...] [I'll type them up later, if I have time or if someone wants me to] [The more interesting bits of the article follow...] You have to hand it to him: in a world of raised-eyebrow commentators, of surly, churlish antiheroes, Hutchence cuts a swaggering swath. He is Rock. Rock was born in Sydney, Australia, on January 20, 1960. His dad, Kell, was a salesman; his mum, Patricia, an ex-model turned film make-up artist. The entire clan - Kell, Patricia, Hutchence plus younger brother and older stepsister - moved to Hong Kong when Hutchence was four, where Kell imported champagne and scotch. It being the 1960s, and Hutchence's parents being the people they were, the Hutchence Hong Kong life was pretty brilliant. By day, Hutchence went to school - King George V, a British system expat establishment, which explains his Englishy accent. At home, he and his brother were cared for by a Shanghai maid. By night, Hutchence toddled to his parents' parties. "There were all these out-there people who just passed through our house," he recalls. "I remember Klaus Kinski, Nastassja Kinski, Sandro, an Italian drummer ... all kinds of people. My parents had a very big social life. It wasn't snobby, or colonial. People had a really good time, everyone was creative and very positive," he says. When Hutchence was 12, his family moved back to the suburbs of Sydney. Things were much less swinging. On Hutchence's first day at school, he politely pointed out that a teacher had written something incorrectly on the board: he was packed straight off for a real lesson: "Six cuts with the cane. My hand felt like a balloon." On Hutchence's exit, a group of sixth-formers shook him welcomingly by the follicles and set about battering some more sense into him. Hutchence was rescued by two kids his own age: a "7ft-tall 12 year-old" called Paul, and Andrew Farriss, now chief songwriter and keyboardist for INXS. The three stayed friends throughout their early teens: not surfers, nor joyriders - "the two main options" - but instead, "really pretentious Miles Davis listeners". Hutchence's pseudo-training was cut short when, one morning, when he was 15, his mum came weeping into his room. She told him he wasn't going to school; he was going to Los Angeles. She was leaving his dad: "We knew they were breaking up - we were like, 'Please do it. Stop the agony'." She was moving to start again and she wanted to take Hutchence with her. So: another day, another country, "another planet". LA was different again. At 15, at North Hollywood High, "girls were like 'Hey, I've got a new sports car, do you want to come around to my place and have a jacuzzi?' I was like 'You have a car? I have a bicycle'," grins Hutchence. A year spent learning how to smoke pot, wear flares, write lyrics and hustle pool and Hutchence was ready to go back to Australia. There, he found that Andrew Farriss was in the same hairy-topped, hash headed state as he was and they formed an experimental band. Hutchence wanted to be "dark, meaningful, like the Velvets". It seems a weird twist that, within a year, he'd ended up in a band that now epitomises a straightforward good-geezer good time. Hutchence's childhood was tailor-made for rock stardom. He admits to having "wanderlust" from all the social globetrotting, plus an ability to exist just where he is. When Hutchence was 17, the band moved to Perth and he found his first real girlfriend, a poet, "utterly pivotal to me". "We used to have parties every night" drawls Hutchence. "And at one, this guy gives me this leash and says 'I'm giving her to you: she wants to be yours'. So I pull on the leash and on the end of it was my future girlfriend. She had a collar around her neck and was wearing thigh-high vinyl boots with leopard-skin hair and see-through top. I said 'Yeeeeees! That's ma girl!'". Once again, a special lady seems to overshadow Hutchence's pop story. No wonder the rest of INXS get miffed no one seems to know them. So here's a pocket guide: There's Tim Farriss, guitarist and eldest, at 39, of INXS's three Farriss brothers. Big, blond, breezy, he favors a 10-gallon hat, cream leather suit and expansive attitude. Garry Beers - a wiry truck-driver's son - plays bass. Next comes guitarist, saxophonist and obsessively neat person Kirk Pengilly, also 39. And the two remaining Farriss brother: Jon, big and blond again, the youngest (35), the drummer; and Andrew, smaller, darker, shyer (37), keyboards. The two younger Farriss brothers are interesting because beneath their g'day friendliness, there's some unusual New Age thinking. In Jon, this involves the planet, UFOs, musical auras and something called the "paradigm of reality". Andrew believes in God and has turned his careful, inquiring mind to the pyramids. He can reel off their measurements: "I find it hard to believe that everything that's happened in my life so far is just pure coincidence." Despite this, like the rest of INXS, they still believe in hoary old rock'n'roll. Undeniably, INXS's odd combination of laddish good humor, open-minded sensitivity and belief in the power of the designer leather trouser has nurtured wild-child Hutchence through the rockiest of times. He even pulled a knife on Garry once. He was forgiven. "Oh yeah," he twinkles. "The others are always saying that I used to be an arsehole. They hated me! But I've got better." On INXS's new album, there's a song called 'Don't Lose Your Head', which I thought might be about Bob Geldof but it turns out to be about Liam Gallagher. Liam and Hutchence had a much reported tiff and Hutchence went away and wrote the song straight off, "vented my spleen," which was unusual for him. We've reached the awkward part of the interview. We play the tabloid rumour game, where I say the media "truth" and Hutchence responds...

The only 2 Australian groups were ACDC and the Bee Gees. But that fact INXS are not in the 200 is not what annoys me the most, the story makes this big point about how INXS missed out - "Michael Hutchence's INXS was among those surprisingly overlooked in the list of 200. Police and Sting were probably the most notable omissions." Why do they have to include Michael Hutchence's INXS?, Michael doesn't own the band, they could have just put INXS. Rolling Stone always do this, they make a big thing out of the lead singer and ignore the rest of the band. * Another "Everything" cd is: U.K. Promo (INXCJ2) has a title sleeve Matthew. X-Sender: marsland@mail-g.deakin.edu.au Date: Mon, 05 May 1997 11:44:11 +1100 To: From: Matthew Marsland Subject: [INXS] Part 2 of article Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Here's Part 2 of the article I posted earlier this week: "Garry Beers gives INXS' side of the story" (Sound Magazine Vol.1 Issue 3) "We chose Bruce Fairbairn because we liked his work with AC/DC and Aerosmith. When we met him, we just loved him. He's a great guy and makes you feel really at home. He's got an amazing collection of discs on the wall. Seeing all the huge names he's worked with made us feel kind of nervous. It was awesome. "Although he's done all these classic rock albums, he's actually a lot more funky than people think. He used to be a horn player, he even played horns with James Brown. He's done a lot of stuff and has a huge amount of experience. So when we wanted to put some horns on a track, he called up a few of his old buddies and in they came. "His studio is small and funky but has just the right amount of old and new gear. He's not too precious about it - it's just a great working environment. There's even a lounge room with a fireplace so you don't have to hang out in the control room getting bored and getting in the way. HOW DOES THE FINISHED ALBUM SOUND TO YOU? "We're totally blown out by it - we have our jaws on the ground. It's a pretty rocky record, but it's also moody and varied. We worked very quickly on it. Even though Bruce produced it, Andrew and Michael had a really strong hand in the sound of the record. They'd already put a lot of stuff down at home and we just came in really quickly and played our parts. I think this record has taken us all by surprise. We got in and played our parts and had it mixed so quickly. "Tom Lord Alge - who also mixed our live album - mixed Elegantly Wasted in London, and I can honestly say I've never heard a bunch of mixes like them. I can't find a fault. We have 16 mixes that I think are absolutely perfect. "We like to play a lot of different stuff, so we don't plan where we're going - it could be anywhere. We grew up hearing so much stuff on the radio in Australia: rock, funk, disco. That has all affected the way we see music as a band. WAS IT STRANGE WORKING ON SONGS IN YOUR HOME STUDIOS AND THEN ADDING TO THEM AT THE ARMOURY? "We generally work live together in the studio, but this time quite a few songs off the album come from people's home studios. But that's fine. Whatever's clever, we do. If you have a great performance recorded at home - just keep it and add to it. That's how we did the new album. Andrew and Michael would bring in things they did at home and we'd work on them. "Everyone has their own gear now. Jon is moving to Australia and building a studio at the bottom of his home. Andrew has a good moveable studio with him in England. Even Michael is just getting into that now, but he's a real low-fi kind of guy, which is great. I'm sure he'll do something really unusual with what he gets. "I also have my studio, with a huge collection of old gear. I've got one of the country's largest collections of old guitars, plus things like an old '60's Ludwig kit, old valve mics, old amps. I find that if you're engineering yourself, it's a lot more fun. I do all my own engineering in my studio. "INXS should have realised - long before we closed Rhinocerous Studios - that we were having more fun and getting as good a sounds in smaller places. And the time you spend on things is up to you. Also, the prices you'd pay for large studios were getting ridiculous - including our own! We all charged too much. You start worrying about working on a song a little longer, because you can't afford it. "But as a band, INXS still records in big studios because we're a large band and we physically have to have a big space. Also, if you're recording in a typical home studio, you can't really get a '57 Les Paul through a vintage Marshall into a valve mic. The same with drums. You just can't record great drums at home, unless you've got all the right gear and spaces. ARE YOU WORRIED BY THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF INXS AS YOU PREPARE TO RELEASE ANOTHER ALBUM? "We're very excited about what's coming up - it's what we do and we're looking forward to getting back to it. We certainly don't measure things in terms of units, if we did we probably would have split up a long time ago. You can only please yourself. We're proud of this album and hope it will do well, but you can't look to the sales. The last two albums didn't do very well in the US for various reasons - complications with our record label, and being too musically unpredictable, maybe. But we're not a formula band, and that has worked against us in the US. We don't want to be a formula band. America loves pigeon-holing bands, but we're just not going to be a square peg in a square hole - we're oblong. When things don't work out as you hoped, you just get your tail up and work harder. You don't bury your head. "We're all really happy with it, so we'll take our time to get together all the promotional stuff - the videos etc. - then we'll go out on the road. I think the public is as sick of all the press crap as we are. We're just normal people and lead normal lives. We've all been successful musicians for a long time so our lives are a little different to most people's lives, but I live on the central coast [NSW] and just get on with it. People don't even recognise me on the street. We're all just people. "We've got new management and a new world-wide deal now, so it's full steam ahead. We'll tour extensively for this album once our family commitments are stable. I can't wait to have something out there to show people what we sound like now. A lot of people think we've retired and given up, but we're still going strong. We've all been very busy with other projects - Michael with his solo album, I have another project in the wings called Mud Head. In the past we've released things like Max Q or Absent Friends around the time of INXS albums, and it just confuses the issue. This time we're putting all those projects on hold until the INXS album is out and happening. INXS is the most important thing for all of us and that comes first. We're basically just a rock band. And that's all we want to be." I hope you all enjoyed that even though it didn't have much 'new' info, it's good to hear interviews with Garry.

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Hi All - Yeah, I'm not at Mercury anymore, but I thought I'd let you know how in-store displays get done. Displays are handled by the branch offices, which are located in various cities in the US. There are people there who work as "Account Service Representatives." These people spend 4 days/week traveling to stores to check inventory, put up displays, check prices, etc. As stores have a limited amount of display space, many of them have schedules set up for which companies get space and when. It also can depend on which rep gets there first during a week when displays are coming down. There are also priorities set forth by the labels as far as which bands should be getting the most coverage and the reps take this into account when doing displays. Stores in outlying areas get their materials in the mail - they are sent out automatically. It is then up to the stores to put them up (or not to). All that said, I would look and see how many Hanson displays you see. Me thinks a lot more of Mercury's money is heading that way. Dana PS - These branches cover all of a distributor's labels, so the PolyGram branch handles Mercury, A&M, Island (U2's label), Polydor, Motown, London, etc. PPS - Amanda - there is no full time person working in the PGD mailroom in Boston, so it can be difficult to get stuff sent out from there. Please don't take it personally. From: cora@ican.net Date: Mon, 5 May 1997 18:05:24 -0400 (EDT) X-Sender: cora@ican.net To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] INXS Influence!! Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I've been a huge INXS fan ever since 'Original Sin' and 'The Swing' came out -- remember those? I have always enjoyed the variety of musical styles that they blended to get their sound whether it's rock, pop or funk. It's too bad most new bands today don't learn to do the same and borrow from multiple music styles like INXS does. It seems that all new bands in the '90s want to sound like Nirvanna. I did manage to find an artist from Toronto named Clint Cora who is influenced by INXS. I like his stuff so much that I volunteered to create a website and handle his internet for him. Like INXS, Clint tries to mix a few musical styles into his music. He has admitted to being a big INXS fan. The website is at; http://home.ican.net/~cora If you listen to the soundfiles, you could see where the INXS influence is. As a big INXS fan for years, it's interesting to see how INXS has influenced other artists, even today.

Of course I had to wander about the store for over 30 minutes just to listen to the rest of the CD. Of course some people were giving me weird looks because I was tapping and singing to the music. I did notice however, that there were over 20 CD's for EW under the INXS section. I am wondering if they are selling. That's my report from S.

Cheers, Bruno A. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Mr SEXCESS He's the tabloids' favorite rock god stud. But as the soap opera of his life grows ever more luridly successful, what's happening to Michael Hutchence's day job as the lead singer of INXS? MIRANDA SAWYER reports. In the red-and-gold-painted foyer of a Parisian cabaret bar, Michael Hutchence is doing the cancan. He hoiks his designer-wrapped knee to the left, he flicks his snazzy shoe, he tosses his famous Shirley Temple locks like a Champs Elysees coquette. In a minute, he will insist in his lisping, posh-ish accent, that everyone in the world comes back to his hotel room, to drink more, shout more and admire his automatic window shutters; tomorrow, he will gad about a telly show and then a supermodel party, being intense, flip, funny, as called for; but yesterday ... Yesterday, he can't quite remember. Hutchence is all about the present. And at present, he's doing the cancan. He's a man who knows how to enjoy himself. And he looks up and says, with emphasis, "Yrrhaghrurg." Daft, drunken, triumphant, Michael Hutchence, as he himself trumpets proudly, is "never going to live my life in a way that's deemed appropriate". And he promptly trips over his twinkle toes. Michael Kelland Hutchence, 37, is the lead singer and main lyricist with Aussie rockers INXS. He has been for the past 19 years, during which time INXS has made nine albums and sold 20 million of them worldwide. But you'd be hard pressed to remember these triumphs. There's the dirty-minded, funky-bottomed single 'Need You Tonight'; then a couple of minute's thought might come up with 'Suicide Blonde' and maybe 'New Sensation'; but that's about it. It's not INXS's fault: they have an instantly identifiable, tuneful, driving, funk-rock sound. Their new LP, 'Elegantly Wasted', recorded in two weeks and released in Australia this week, demonstrates exactly that. It's just that even the most memorable melody, the most resonant couplet pale into insignificance when put next to the screaming, front- page, hurly burly of Hutchence's tabloid life. Hutchence, rock's incurable hell-raiser, rabid dingo and lucky man, has dated several lovely ladies, three of whom you can name without thinking. This is because they're all really famous: Kylie Minogue, Helena Christensen, Paula Yates. All women who could take their pick, and all mad about Hutchence. So, has any girl ever binned him? "No," he admits. "Well, once, a long time ago. Paula promises to do it to me, to teach me a lesson." Ah, Paula. Paula Yates: Madam Controversy. Lady Geldof. Hutchence's one true love. What a story. Here's the media version: St Bob'n' Strumpet Paula were busily living happily ever after, married for 10 years, three pretty little daughters. Rock star Hutchence'n'Supermodel Helena ran around being tirelessly divine, winging between star-strewn premieres and celeb-peppered parties. Suddenly, Naughty Rockstar'n' Saucy Strumpet are caught in a taxi having oodles of sex. Saint weeps. Supermodel smiles. Photographers go bonkers and get smacked in the face. Everyone points and tuts. Two years later, things have settled down: there's Hutchence'n'Paula, Bob'n'Actress Jeanne Marine, Helena'n'some unknown tufty-haired chap. Not counting divorce settlements, drug busts, bankruptcy, breast enlargements, house-haggling and daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, that's how things are. The evening of the day we meet, Hutchence shows me two things, quite unprompted. The first is a picture of his daughter, Heavenly etc etc (Tiger for short). And his lighter. "Look," he drawls. "Paula gave me this. She had it engraved." So she did: the flip-top Zippo has an arrowed heart with "P and M" on one side. The other side reads "You're perfect, please f... me." Call me a prude, but I am shocked. Not just at the wording, but because he showed it to me. You find this all the time with Hutchence. He can't stop confiding. On tape, he's circumspect, stammering and mumbling over specifics. A question like "When exactly did you fall in love?" produces a symphony of "ums" and "dunno reallys". But such disingenuous smokescreening doesn't come naturally. Pending lawsuits force Hutchence to shut his mouth; but when the tape's off, so is he, rattling through good stories. Tales of liquid ecstasy and lashings of models; of brawling pop stars and have-a-go minders; of flick knives, heroin, court cases, head cases, "and we all end up jumping into the swimming pool! Fully clothed, from the third floor!" You have to hand it to him: in a world of raised-eyebrow commentators, of surly, churlish antiheroes, Hutchence cuts a swaggering swath. He is Rock.

For those with time, here's something I found about the worldcharts: you can put down *any* email address and use it to vote with -- so use your friends addresses, etc. Just click on "no" when they ask whether they should contact you next week -- otherwise they'll try and email whatever email addy's you're using -- which could become a problem.

I have some theories but it wouldn't be prudent to discuss them without evidence. However, if anyone does have any information, I'd be very interested to hear it, as denial of service is a serious matter, and a crime if it is done intentionally. At this point I don't even know if normal list traffic was disrupted, but I wanted to get a message out as soon as possible to let you know that I am on the case, and since I'm done with classes for a while, should have more resources to devote to this.

Kirk has an adorable young daughter called April, (you can see a picture of her in the INXS Offical Inside Story book on page 72) Garry has a five year old daughter Lucy-Mae, and they (Jodie and Garry) only just had another baby at the end of last year.

If you want a copy of the article in one file, or if you missed out on earlier parts of the article, email me privately. I have sent the complete article to Neil for possible inclusion in his web site. Cheers, Bruno A. [email: brunoa@camtech.net.au] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Mr SEXCESS By: Miranda Sawyer We've reached the awkward part of the interview. We play the tabloid rumour game, where I say the media "truth" and Hutchence responds. So, I say, "you broke up someone else's marriage," and he answers: "Untrue." On Paula's fifth attempt, she left her redundant marriage and he, Hutchence, came along later. Then I say, "You keep drugs in your house in a tube of Smarties," to which he replies, "No (awkward pause), can't really talk about it." But they went on holiday, the nanny resigned, they discovered loads of people had been in their house while they were away, and the police spent five months deciding whether to prosecute (they didn't). "You paid for her to have her bosoms boosted," I say. Emphatic "No." She always wanted them done. Hutchence concedes Paula's freedom with him has been far more restricted by the unforgiving tabloids - "the KGB". When the pair were first caught spending a night together at a Kent hotel and Hutchence had an altercation with a photographer, the entire hotel, unbeknown to them, had been booked out by reporters. There was even a snapper in a sleeping bag in the doorway across from their room. When Hutchence lost his temper and tried to kick down the door, a policeman warned him about criminal damage. Still, he muses, "you find out people's mettle. I found out that I'm a strong person and I will go through hell and fury for what I believe in". After a long day's TV work, INXS repairs to the birthday party of the model Eva Herzigova. Helena Christensen's there. As you idly people-watch, you're suddenly struck by the familiarity of the scene: ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend being "how are you" polite, then body-swerving past each other to giggle with each other's mates. Poor Helena eventually takes her leave, but she returns almost immediately to grab Hutchence by the hand and force him to have a proper conversation. She looks a bit upset. And you look away and think this is stuff that makes a tabloid front page - real people, real emotions, real lives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 09 May 1997 10:53:49 +2909 From: Bruno Andrighetto To: INXS List Subject: [INXS] Net Searching 2 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Here are the fruits of some more net Searching ... 1.

Has anyone else noticed the scratching noise effect in part of this song? I only seem to notice it in the car or with earphones--I guess from a distance it blends into the song. It made me wonder if this is a sound effect of Tim's? At first it sort of bugged me, but now I find myself imagining it as different symbolic things (like chains of hell; or a mason trowling out cement whilst building a bridge, etc.) Overall I really like the song--especially the stripping down of the song at the end, and the "when does the strip begin" lyric. This is so typical of Michael's style of double-entrendre--within the content of the song it is not particularly sex-oriented, but with his delivery the line jumps out of the song as a very sexual flirtation. I think it was a great way to end the album.

INXS SONG OF THE WEEK #36 - Listen Like Thieves Date: Tue, 06 May 1997 22:51:09 -0700 From: Renee duBois To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] French article Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Here's the translation of the article that Neil talked about. Some of the wording in this article is a little weird, but I imagine that it's probably due to the fact that it was more than likely translated into French first, unless Michael and Andrew are fluent in French... "One has almost forgotten them, but they never threw in the towel. For proof, a new album that all "INXS" and a rather talkative duo MH and AF... In your new album, EW, a lot of songs seem to be inspired by your older albums, as if you set out again for the place you left, searching for your voice... MH: That's a little true...When one begins to start to compose for a new album, there are always pieces of your preceding disques that resurge, like a sort of echo, the same as if one goes in different directions. At the same time, we force ourselves to renew ourselves, which is not always evident. We totally focused on this disc and I firmly believe that we have created an original album that follows this road, with all sorts of new sounds, all in the style that we like to do the most. It's the most youthful album that one can conceive of. When I listen to it, I get the impression that I'm 18 years old! In a certain way, one could effectively say that we started at ground zero... The album seems to be divided into two parts: one commercial, the other more creative... AF: YES! I totally agree! And...I prefer the second: that's what interests me, because the orchestration stays very simple. In fact, this album was recorded very rapidly, with very little quarrelling, a little like What You Need. MH: There are undoubtedly two parts, the one is, like you said, more accessible, one can find the pop in the INXS sound, the other is experimental and therefore totally new for us. In the past, one often got the impression that INXS was at the end of its musical ambitions. MH: Yes, I understand what you want to say...it's true that one can't always make the disc that others want you to do, everything depends on your state of mind and the mode of your life. At a certain time, the success of Kick generated a certain pressure, we separated ourselves from our managers and our homes. It's not an excuse, it's what happened, but I prefer to do an album again under these conditions, telling myself cynically, "Ok, everyone has problems, but we are recording the album the same and seeing what happens in the meantime." All artists go through different phases, like Picasso and his blue period! In my opinion, EW and WTWYA are the most artistically accomplished albums, becuase we didn't make compromises and they are the true spirit of INXS. Is the success disastrous to your creativity? MH: Yes and no. Sometimes, a group of makes a cardboard box with their first album, and the second is a disaster. The creativity is born out of fear, joy, highs and lows. The success places you in a position where your life will never be the same. If you don't pay attention, you lose the capacity to perceive these things. The notoriety distracts you from your first preoccupation, the music. And what concerns INXS, success has its good and bad sides, but generally we've been rather lucky. Today, can one speak of an Australian sound? AF: The true Australian music is aboriginian. If you takes the social and musical context of INXS, it is difficult to establish a comparison, simply because so few Australian groups have had the good luck to know a career like ours! It is impossible to speak of an "Australian sound" in the matter of rock and pop. MH: And then, it is not a phenomena of classification, like for example in the United States or England, where everyone is a "grunge group" or "English pop". In Australia, we just have to be ourselves! Are you concerned, like the majority of Australians and certain groups like Midnight Oil, with the ecological problems and the recent polemic on the French nuclear politics? AF: WE say that if you drop a nuclear bomb in nature, you risk being a little debilitated! MH: You know, in Australia, we pratice a high mindfulness against the ecological problems and their consequences. There is the unilateral idea that we are in osmosis with our Earth and it is normal to be warned of what can happen. It's a sort of natural necessity. AF: It also stems from the aboriginal culture, that comes from the principle that the planet is more important than we are, and after all, we return to the earth...In this group, we have always refused to fight a career in retaking this type of engagement according to us. But I'm not throuwing stones at Midnight Oil, I love them, they are our friends. We even participated with them in a concert against drugs several years ago. And the overture for the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000, are you going to try to write it? MH: Uh...I don't know. In these times, my heart and my patriotic side say "yes" and my good sense says "no!!!" because you come from a space as being a national hero. And I know that they're going to ask us to play! Maybe we will do it, we'll have to see... AF: Yes, maybe. At the same time, we haven't been officially asked yet. That said, the Olympic Games in the year 2000 in Sydney is at the same time a very important even, it will surely be wonderful whether we participate or not. Do you often become distressed about being out of style? MH: I don't believe that we were ever in style! We aren't the type of group to spend our nights toumenting ourselves about these questions. At the same time, what can you do? And then, very simply, you aren't in this business to preoccupy yourself with your image our your clothes... Really? At the same time you're wearing a Gucci shirt! MH: I believe that it's also part of the tradition, one of the aspects of glamour rock that pleases me very much...in the same way that the bluesmen and jazzmen could always get at teh heart of things. That's it! Hope you enjoyed it...

I am aware the site is down. The company in UK, Perfect World, who designed the temporary pages asked us to transfer their files to our server because theirs couldn't handle the number of hits it was getting and was crashing. The transfer was made by Jungle Communications while I was in New Orleans at the Jazz Fest a couple weeks ago. Along the way, a link was broken, which can be fixed easy enough. But now we are waiting to hear from the band's management about what they want to do overall. As we all know, they will be reconveening in London this week, so hopefully we'll find out the intentions for the official website and if we are to proceed. I'm sorry for the delay, but it's a business matter now. I'm receiving messages daily from people who are not on the mailing list, telling me the same thing and I for one am eager to get it handled. In the meantime, keep checking out Neil's site, as somehow he always gets the most up-to-the-minute information available anywhere in the INXS world (including me!).

"Girl On Fire" has most probably been dropped from consideration as a single -- why? Because a remix of the song is about to appear on the "Everything" maxi single. You don't usually see a single that is going to be released have remixes released on other singles (though this has happened before when a Guns in the Sky remix appeared as the Bside to New Sensation). Food for thought... That probably sets up "Searching" as the third single, or possibly "I'm Just A Man" (as they've been playing it live). Once again, though, I'd like to see any of the last four tracks on the album (excluding "Shine") released... -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- nkoth@iname.com NJ Med '00 -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 00:04:09 -0400 From: Neil Kothari To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Net Searching 3 References: <34768A1A.33CF@camtech.net.au> Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Bruno Andrighetto wrote: > For those who want to know, I used the Lycos, WebCrawler and Excite > search engines.

Thanks. I know this is off the INXS topic (more on INXS at the end of this), but I was wondering if there are any Aussies that live in the general vacinity of a Ken Done store that could do me a favor. I haven't received my Ken Done catalog for this year, and I'm afraid they took me off their mailing list. I was hopeful that maybe one of you could drop by one of the stores and sign me back up again. I'd do it myself, but there are no Ken Done stores here in the US--Florida specifically. If this is convenient for anyone, please e-mail me and I'll send you my address. In the Sydney area there are stores in the Victoria Street Building, in the Rocks on Argyle Street, and a gallery around the corner from the store in the Rocks--these are the only ones I have visited and know the location of. Back to INXS--am I the only one that likes "Deepest Red" from the Australian cd single for "Heaven Sent"? It is really great if you can find it and give a listen. In the early 90's, I used to hear rumors of a box set that INXS wanted to put out of all their b-sides and unreleased stuff...several albums (10 supposedly) worth they had been saving...has anyone heard anything recently about this? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Have a GREAT day.

It's mostly technical stuff, but at least we finally get to hear from Andrew. Breaking out of the Machinery INXS keep it Simple "If you spend all your time making music in places with soft leather seats, you end up sounding like that," suggests INXS songwriter Andrew Farriss. "If you know exactly what you're tring to achieve, you only need the amount of gear that's necessary for that type of recording." And so when it came to making the new INXS record, Elegantly Wasted (their first for Mercury), Farriss and singer Michael Hutchence took steps to ensure that they spent as little time as possible in the studio. By selecting just the right gear for the demos, they were able to turn up at the album sessions with recordings good enough not only to impress producer Bruce Fairburn but to keep for the actual record. Says Hutchence, "We sort of threw out the idea of what a 'demo' was, and began recording the songs at the same time as we were writing them, whether it was in a hotel room or wherever." Stealing away to remote locations in Dublin and Spain to demo material, they employed a small but powerful arsenal, including a pair of Neumann U-67 microphones, a Shure SM57, a Tele, a Les Paul, a couple of vintage amps, two E-mu Proteus modules ("They're old, but I can work quickly on them," notes Farriss), an old Macintosh computer, some compressors, a pair of Alesis ADATs (synched up to Opcode Studio 5 - they also recorded some stuff to 2" tape), a Roland DR-660 Rythm Box drum machine, and a small board for monitoring. "It's not necessary to have 140 inputs 96 tracks and then another 100 tracks of sequencing," laughs Farriss. "I mean, come on, if the song doesn't sound appealing with three or four instruments, you're in trouble anyway. It doesn't matter if you add another 300 tracks!" While they were able to use several original guitar tracks and drum loops, the most important thing they kept were some early vocal takes by Hutchence. "I think singing is about the most organic thing you can do a person," says Farriss. "And as a musician, it's the thing that you really have to feel the most. That's what was great about caputuring things so well initially - some of the vocals on this record are literally the first and second times they've been sung." It's impressive that such a fit of spontaniety would come three years after their last album. "That's the irony of the whole situation," laughs Hutchence. "This is the fastest record we've ever made, apart from maybe our first one." -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue From: INXSBABE@aol.com Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 18:55:05 -0400 (EDT) To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] Keyboard Magazine Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu There is a small article about INXS in the June 1997 issue of Keyboard Magazine.

Also, I agree with Neil that 'Girl on Fire' probably won't be a single, given that a remix will be included on one of the 'Everything' CD singles. I personally would like to see 'I'm Just a Man', 'She is Rising' or 'Building Bridges' released as the fourth single.

The account you relay on the web site is accurate. I was in group two. (The group of about 200 people.) I'm not really the "groupie" type, but INXS is only one of two bands that I love so much that I would want to meet them. So when Michael announced the info for the shoot at the concert at the Mayan, I figured that was my chance. While they were setting up one of the shots near the end of the day, the band and the crowd were getting restless. A couple of people near the bottem steps asked the guys to sign stuff. I was up about four or five rows and figured this was my one opportunity. I went up to each one and had them sign the insert from the Elegantly Wasted CD. I spoke to Garry, Michael, Jon and Tim for a couple of moments. They were all so nice. It's like they genuinely appreciate their fans. (In fact, when I told Michael that the Mayan was a great show, he said "It was a great crowd.") It was a really long day, but so worth it. There's always that risk that people you really admire will be assholes (pardon the expression) when you meet them in person! The guys from INXS are great. I'm proud to be a fan and even prouder to say that I've met them!!

If anyone's interested, I have the sheet music for "Rooms for the Memory", so I can post the lyrics if anyone wants, because I've noticed a lot of people get the lyrics for that totally wrong over the years. Speaking of that song, at the weekend I saw a mention about what Ollie Olsen has been doing lately, it seems to me just about every INXS fan really liked the Max Q album, in fact, I don't think I've heard an INXS fan say they didn't like it - ever! But I guess most of you haven't heard anything about Ollie since, so since this last week has been pretty quiet with INXS news, here's a short Ollie article: One of Melbourne's dance music innovators, Ollie Olsen, has composed the soundtrack for a new ABC television drama series Raw FM. The show, which will be based on the day-to-day happenings at an inner city radio station, is expected to start in July. Olsen has had a long, illustrious involvement with Melbourne's music scene, having first made a name for himself as founder of seminal, late 70's electronic outfit Whirlywirld. He then went on to form numerous bands, including industrial act No and the Orchestra Of Skin And Bone. Later he teamed with Michael Hutchence, of INXS, in the commercially successful offshoot project Max Q. Embracing techno music, Olsen set up his label, Psy Harmonics, some years back. It has released 35 albums of dance music, including Olsen's act Third Eye. Recently, he revealed his technique for working on the new television series. "Every episode has a distinct character and there's a definite musical style attached to each one", he said. Olsen has also written a song that becomes a hit on the mythical Raw FM. He is hoping for the same in real life. "It's an extremely modern song, very cyber punk," he said. So there's what Ollie's up to at the moment. Now for something completly different, does the INXS world tour have a name? I'm sure it's not just called the "Elegantly Wasted World Tour"? Hopefully, it's a bit more creative than that, like some of the brill tour names INXS has used in the past, especially in the early & mid 80's. Matthew.

Nope. The DJ's at WXRT are very partial to this song, so they've been playing it a lot. WXRT is very partial to INXS in general, which of course, is a great thing.

Well, the Tower Records in Schaumburg has a lighted sign display OUTSIDE as you walk into the store. They also have the CD displayed prominently in the New Releases, Sale Items, and Tower Top 40 displays. I easily found about 100 CD's in various parts of the store. By the way, it is the #11 selling CD in the Tower Records chain, down from #3 last week and #3 the week before that. I think this is pretty good considering they aren't officially touring in the US for another 3 months.

Just unnecessary. INXS has been around for about 20 years now, and the Australian band certainly hasn't lost a step after nine studio albums. The problem is, they haven't picked up the pace much either. During the late '80s, INXS perfected a hybrid of dance beats and mainstream rock that may not have been particularly innovative but was at least a fair amount of fun. Elegantly Wasted has plenty of tunes that would have sounded right a decade ago, like the title track and "Don't Lose Your Head," both of which feature a fluff-ball blend of keyboards and guitar. Yet if you've heard this music before, which plenty of people have, there's not that much reason to listen to it again.

I have one thing to say : I'm disappointed. Why? No, I'm not disappointed in the album or the band or anything like that. I absolutely love the CD to death, but I am just so disappointed that the album (or the single for that matter) did not go well on the charts in Australia. Sure, the album got very far on debut, but dropped dramatically. It also seems likes everyone is deliberately trying the discredit the band very fast, which is very disheartening. Triple J (a national radio station in Australia) played 30 seconds of the song when it first came out then gave it the toss. It was great seeing displays and standups of the band in my favourite disk shops, again. But, let’s not forget a certain music reporter of a certain Sydney newspaper (I won’t name him or the paper) that ever since last years ARIA awards seems to have something against the band. He has given the album a rating of 4/10 in his review of the CD and not to mention he has been very harsh in his editorial. Heck, the single didn’t even make it into the Top 40 and I think it’s because of things like this. I apologise to anyone if it sounds like I’m whining, but I feel that INXS are not given media coverage, the airplay, nor the credibility they deserve. I have been a faithful fan of INXS ever since 1987 and I think that they deserve more.

That is the point when I gave up trying to like Oasis...very UNCOOL to personally diss someone on TV, in front of millions, and when that person is presenting you with an award. And Oasis wonder why their concert ticket sales suck in the US...this is the real reason they cancelled their tour here last year...not some supposed fight. Guess INXS is outliving yet another band. I give Oasis about one more year to OD & die/break-up/get AIDS/be long forgotten "has-beens". Guess Michael will have the last laugh, as well as the rest of INXS. After 19 plus years, I'm sure they're getting very good at laughing off their detractors. Personally, I can't wait for INXS's response when INXS is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a few years...maybe they'll get Liam (if he hasn't OD'd & died) to give out the award. This should make for an interesting dream tonight. Sorry to sound so cruel..but then, life is, and so is revenge (cruel yet sweet). Have a GREAT day.

So there's the lyrics, and you wouldn't believe what was in the newspaper today, a Richard Lowenstein interview. Amazing co-incidence, these things always to me! 'Dogs in Space' is going to be on in Melbourne for 3 times too, the dates are May 17, 24 and 31 at the Performing Arts Museum's Punkulture exhibition. I've never seen it on a movie screen, as I was too young to get in 10 years ago, So I've been watching it on video all these years, but I've always wanted to see it on a large screen. Anyway, here's the Richard interview - Melbourne film director Richard Lowenstein was hot property when his controversial flick Dogs in Space was released in 1986. Since then he has been almost invisible - fuelling rumors that he had joined a monastery, emigrated, or died. "After that movie I was offered lots of scripts," Richard said yesterday. "But lately, things have been quiet." Richard, 38, was offered certain stardom in the U.S. with scripts like Robocop 2 and Year of the Gun with Sharon Stone. But directing them would have meant relinquishing control. "I've seen that path claim too much of Australia's talent," he said. In November, he will begin filming a movie based on the Australian best-seller He Died with a Falafel in his Hand - a collection of dark, quirky tails. Starring Noah Taylor, it will trace the house-sharing nightmares of a struggling writer in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. "We want to reflect the worst characteristics of each city," said Richard. "Brisbane will be all about testosterone, and Sydney will be like Melrose Place on acid." And Melbourne? "Our obsession with dressing in black, constant rain, and Nick Cave music," he said. Richard emerged as a director with music video clips for U2, Cold Chisel and INXS. He gave that up in 1982. (note: this is wrong of course, should be 1994) "Older bands just wanted me to make their lead singer look sexy," he said. (note: I don't think he's refering to Michael by saying this, because he told me earlier this year that he had been out to diner with Michael when he was here, so they are still friends as far as I know) He now directs TV commercials to "keep the rent going". "Add together my fees from three feature films and it comes to under $60,000," he said. "But I'm not worried about money. Telling a story through cinema is like breathing for me." Nice to know he's still doing it.... (Melbourne Herald-Sun 15/5/97) MATTHEW.

I've been sitting around quietly since I got on this list over six months ago, but now I have a question. I have no computer at home, and I'm a reference librarian in a busy public library, so my only access to me e-mail and the web is when I'm SUPPOSED to be helping other people find information. But it's slow this morning -- I'll set my guilt aside and write to you guys. Can someone tell me what the deal is with the song "Shine"? Is it only available on the limited, numbered CDs? I've seen the lyrics on inxs.com, and I've been wondering why the song isn't on my copy of EW. I'm sure this has been discussed on the list already and I missed it, so please feel free to e-mail me privately if you know something I don't. It bugs me when I know there are copies out in the world of something INXS has done, and I don't own them or at least know where they are. Thanks in advance for any information. While I'm here -- I'd like to thank this list for everything. I would never have known about the Chicago show if not for you people. I conned a friend into flying with me to Chi-town for an over-night, "Thelma & Louise"-ish trip so I could see my band of bands. I went with a mission -- to get as close as possible to the stage and stay there (usually the claustrophobia gets me). I did it, and it was the most fun of the four times I've seen INXS (even the body-smashing thing was okay -- the guy behind me was cute). I couldn't see much, with the backs of people's heads in my way, but when Michael was at the edge of the stage he was ten feet from me. I got hit with Evian, and that's what I was hoping for. Plus it was so great to be among a bunch of fellow slobbering INXS fans. There aren't many of those in the library profession. My husband tolerates it pretty well, but I rarely have the opportunity to be around My People when it comes to my musical preferences. So thanks. I'd also like to say how excited I got recently when Susan mentioned INXS (and especially Michael) having the last laugh WHEN (I like the WHEN) the guys get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I hope we're still living here when it happens -- I fantasize about it all the time. I've only been to the Hall once. I found Jon's sticks in the drumstick display, and of course the guys get some time in the "Video killed the radio star" display. I'm just waiting for the time I can visit their signatures in the hush of the Hall itself. -- Kathryn Fisher ir105@cleveland.freenet.edu Shaker Heights Public Library "Tuesdays she works at the library uptown" Date: Thu, 15 May 1997 11:09:29 -0500 (CDT) From: loriann marie gulik X-Sender: gulik@ux9.cso.uiuc.edu To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] Don't Loose Your Head Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu When is the show in Chicago?

My name is Tony and i'm from the Chicago area. I've been an INXS fan since i accidentally bought the "Listen like Thieves" album back when i was a pup. A mistake i do not regret. I've seen the band five times most recently at the Chicago show last month (best show i've seen). EW is great, a much better effort than their last, FMDH. Its a much better album than critics believe and i think sales will pick up as soon as more singles are released and the band starts their tour. Anyhoo, thanks to all for all the interesting reading and stuff. i promise i'll be involved more in the future.

I'll confess that I am not that confident with some of these lyrics, but maybe if I start things rolling, others can help polish it up. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I've got this feeling in the back of my head I feel like making someone's face turn red Learning? some bikes? and ditto visers/vices?

But I asked him last night and he said he was actually referring to Hunters and Collectors, that's good! I was also telling him about the 'Everything' video and how Michael had said 'Searching' would be next video and all that, and he said 'they didn't even ask..', so I got the impression even though he doesn't do music videos anymore, if INXS asked him to do one he would. You would have to agree Richard's videos are the best INXS videos, right?. (TIM IF YOU READ THIS PLEASE ASK RICHARD TO DO AT LEAST ONE VIDEO) He didn't know anything about Tim's movie at the Tropicana film festival, I can't believe no one asked Tim when they met him recently, or did they? If anyone has any info on Tim's film send it to the list please. No other news today, there was some news about Paula's father been this other guy who died earlier in the week, but someone in the UK would know more about that than me. And yesterday, I made a silly mistake I said Simple Heads instead of Simple Minds, must of got confused with Talking Heads for some reason..Ha Ha Simple Heads sounds like me for making this mistake :) I liked the 'I'm better than Oasis' line, I've been singing it all morning.

This is great news. Does anyone know how long the band are in the UK before the SA tour? I guess they may be on TFI Friday again as they seem to be fans of the band. (For many weeks after they played last time there was a large new INXS logo poster by the bar.) Also I'd love to see INXS perform on Later with Jools Holland. (I think a new season just started/is about to start.) This is where they get 4 or 5 bands of varied musical styles to perform both individually and with each other. Just a thought - I think it's the Gun concert next week in London. Anyone know if Andrew or the others are planning to catch this show? The lottery is on Saturday night though. Is the INXS bit being recorded in advance tonight or during the day tommorrow? If not the performance would be at about 7.45 tommorrow night before the draw at 8. The show isn't really the height of fashion (probably ranks alongside Noel's House Party) but it does get watched by a lot of people of varied ages. (My mum for one who still insists on pronoucing INXS as INKS.) Does anyone know how you can get tickets for the show or where it is recorded. (I think it's at the Wood Lane TV studios) I think it tells you on the BBC Web page but my net connection is down at work at the moment. If I haven't found out by the end of today I'll try and call the BBC help desk and find out. I'm going to see the Charlatans tommorrow night but if I could get to see INXS first that would make my night. And if the video is on The Chart Show tommorrow morning (which I hope it is as I missed the show last week) that would make my day! And then Monday is single release day.

You're a star. I've called the BBC about 'Later...' and tickets sell out well in advance of guests being announced. The filmings are on Tuesday's and INXS aren't on the 20th (according to the guy I spoke too) and he didn't know if they were on the following week. (Although this would seem a bit tight for the SA tour but I guess you can't tell with these jet setting pop star types!) Tickets for TFI are also gold dust. So if anyone is in contact with management or the band and you could enquire if there is another way we can get tickets I'd appreciate it. And if anyone finds out when & where they are rehearsing..... Anyway now I've got my ticket for tommorrow I hope they're not pre-recording! Cheers, Jon.

"Let It Ride" is a great track -- rather mysterious and ethereal sounding, and it makes a heck of a better album closer than "Shine". (I still prefer "Building Bridges" as the album closer, though.)

When I heard about the backgroundvocals in EW I stopped playing everything, the song I heared the weeks before bic I think it's the best on the CD, and started playing EW. The only thing I heared was first some singing in the background and then something sounding like better than oasis. For checkin my opinion I played the song to a fried of mine and he said he just heared something sounding like an echo. If it's true that INXS did some singin like I heared id'd be dissatisfied about them lowering their niveau to Oasis niveau.

I don't want it to be there, so it's easier for me to dismiss the extra "s" sound as reverb instead of someone singing "Oasis".

For example, 'Jon Farriss' only yielded 12 anagrams, and Indigo has shown that Jon's full name gives many more anagrams (at least 3000). Here's another one: Artisan John fears jams. To those list members who have asked me to generate anagrams for their names: I will reply to you as soon as possible. I think I've created a monster - some names have thousands of possible anagrams!

We arrived a little later than planned and we were handed numbered tickets for the order we were allowed into the studio - we got 146 and 147. I think I was the only fan present - certainly the only one in a band T-Shirt. They had some delays and so we only got into Studio 4 about 10 minutes before the show was due to air live. The stage is a lot smaller than they make it look on TV. There was no sign of any INXS gear and I was a bit concerned that they had pre-recorded the day before. Anyway Terry Wogan (the presenter) came to sit in the audience after a video clip and while the cameras were trained away from the stage lots of scene shifters hurridly carried the boys miming kit onto the stage. Then at the d esired moment INXS and the two backing singers appeared and performed Everything. Couldn't quite work out if it was a live vocal or not (it certainly sounded more prominent in the studio) and have only had chance to watch the video once. Terry Wogan was dancing away to it off camera. After the boys had performed they exited stage very quickly. (Except for Andrew and Jon as they were still in camera shot. Kirk was in shot for a few seconds extra and you can see him checking the monitor screens to see when he was out of camera shot.) Then once the cameras were on Mystic Meg (a tabloid astrologist who spouts rubbish about who is going to win the lottery) Andrew and Jon fled to the other side of the stage and the scene shifters rushed back on to remove the gear. At the time we commented how it was amazing that they manage to keep the sound of the shifters out of the show. However when we watched it on video you can clearly hear the gear being shifted in the background - and of one of the shifters falling over one of the speakers! Anyway after the draw had been made I was about to rush out when someone with handfulls of T-Shirts caught my eye and went to throw it in my direction. So I went to be within range thinking he'd seen my suicide blonde Tshirt and had got some of the new INXS logo T-Shirts to give away. Imagine my dismay when I found out it was a National Lottery T-Shirt. Gutted. As we passed the stage exit outside on our way out I asked the doorperson if INXS were still in the building. She said three cars had just left and she thought that was probably them. As I turned, the entrance gate to television centre was just being lifted and two limos with mirrored windows sped off down the road. Behind them was a very flash convertible with a lone driver which may have been Michael but I was too far away to tell for certain. If only I'd left as soon as INXS had finished performing. A chance to meet all 6 members - Even more gutted!!! Also I tried to get the Everything CD's in my luchbreak today but nowhere has them in yet. Checking www.bbc.co.uk there is no mention of INXS for Later.. airing on Saturday 24th. Maybe they record more than a week in advance? Ho Hum. Anyone know what time of day the TFI soundcheck is? For anyone who doesn't know, who wants to, TFI is recorded at The Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, West London. Cheers, Jon.

This is the only song other than the instrumental music score to be selected for the John Woo-directed film's soundtrack; it will be tied into the film's promotional MTV and radio commercials. "Don't Lose Your Head" is from the band's recent Mercury Records album Elegantly Wasted, which was released on April 15. Inxs is set to travel to London next week to shoot the video for "Don't Lose Your Head," after recently completing work on the video for their second Elegantly Wasted single, "Everything," which was shot April 26 in Los Angeles. The upcoming "Don't Lose Your Head" video will incorporate film footage of Face Off along with images of the band. The group is also expected to kick off a U.S. tour in August.

Te cuento que EW con lo que respecta a FM no tuvo mucho apego de el publico, esta en el 19 de aca de Mendoza, y en MTV latino creo que esta 5, la semana pasada estaba 3 y las 2 anteriores 1, Entro en el 13 y a la otra subio al 5. Hay una FM que recopila rankings de todo el mundo y esta bastante bien, lo pasan todo el dia. Escuche en una nota que le Hicieron a Michael y a Tim, que pensaban venir este aņo, pero no se sabia la fecha aprox. Y en una FM escuche que si no los llamaban de Europa vendrian a S.A cerca de Agosto. Lo que te queria preguntar es que si llego el maxi de EW a chile, y si conoses cuales van a ser los cortes de EW. Yo tengo varios maxis y cd piratas, si queres despues te paso los nombres. Aqui llego un solo maxi y lo compro un fans que hace tiempo estoy tratando de ubicar.

I MUST have the INXS T-shirt that the backup singers & the model on the cd is wearing. ---------- Hey, join the club ! I think anyone on this list want to have one. I for one hope that there will be men's shirts also, but these shirts look great on those girls anyway (unfortunately I do not have a girlfriend at the moment, but I'd like to have that shirt anyway). IMO a promo item that's on sale doesn't do the job quite as well as one that isn't. But MAYBE later this year those shirts will be on sale, when the promo stuff/tour ends. So, let's all start calling, writing and asking for these shirts anywhere you can. That may make a difference... Marcel PS what shirts ARE on sale now ? X-Sender: marsland@mail-g.deakin.edu.au Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 20:42:40 +1100 To: From: Matthew Marsland Subject: [INXS] TV Week Article Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu "INXS ARE STILL WHAT YOU NEED" (Australian TV WEEK 24/5) - BY MOLLY MELDRUM I've been guilty of knocking INXS in the past, and I don't retract a thing. But I have to admit I was shocked to read a scathing story about INXS in a Sydney paper. The article suggested the band's latest album, Elegantly Wasted, was bombing all over the world. As I said in this column when I first heard the album a few months ago, I think Elegantly Wasted is an excellent album, fresh and full of surprises. It's not an exercise in nostalgia. Elegantly Wasted entered the U.S. charts at number 41 - the second-highest chart debut in the group's career. The album debuted in Australia at number 14. I know we have a tall poppy thing in this country, but we have to accept that there is a place for established talent. The reviews for INXS' American tour have been glowing. A New York newspaper said they "walloped" the crowd. The review, which highlighted the new songs, started, "The white-boy funk that propelled INXS out of the Aussie Outback and into nearly every major arena on the globe is cranking at full charge again." It ended by saying, "This tour is going to be noted as one of the top concert engagements of '97." INXS will hopefully be here at the end of the year. Way to go Molly! I guess Molly must have forgotten Tim calling him a "silly old fart" on national television a few years back. The last couple of years Molly has said some really positive things about INXS. And believe it or not people actually respect what he says, and buy what he recommends - he's still probably the most influential person in Australian music. A lot of people will read this article too, because it's in the special Logies T.V Week edition (The Logies are the Australian T.V. awards). So hopefully this may help sales in Australia, the album is now out of the top 40 here. Matthew.

Can any in England fill us in on any more details. As usual cybersleaze have added an editorial comment. If they hate the band so much why do they continue to mention them. Anyways I think this will open the up alot of discussion: Australian rockers INXS have scrapped a gig at trendy London venue LA2 - supposedly because they are fed up with the way they are being "treated" in Britain. It could also just be that they SUCK and always have, but that would be the harder option to accept now, wouldn't it?? MICHAEL HUTCHENCE's group had planned the one-off concert to thank fans for their support - but a source close to INXS says they called it off because they were angered by disappointing sales of their new album ELEGANTLY WASTED. The Australian band are now flying off to South Africa for a promotional tour, but are due to return to Britain in June to stage a stadium tour. A spokesperson for MERCURY the band's record company refused to comment on why the gig had been canceled. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 20:14:06 -0400 From: Neil Kothari To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: [INXS] TV Week Article Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu k with a kris wrote: > > > The reviews for INXS' American tour have been glowing.

They also price the CD's at 1.99 for the first week of release or when they think it has reached it's peak, then they go up to 3.99.

It does say that it has the lyrics, so I will forward those to Neil.

It's the first time since June 9, 1979, when the Bee Gees ruled with "Love You Inside Out," that a group comprising three brothers has been on top. Two acts that include three brothers have been No. 1 since then: Atlantic Starr (with Jonathan, David, and Wayne Lewis) in 1987 and INXS (with Andrew, Jon, and Tim Farriss) in 1988. On The Billboard 200, Hanson and the Bee Gees have the top two debuts, making it a great week for brotherly trios.

It rather bothers me, and disappoints me greatly, that such a young talentless trio of three brothers are doing better on the charts (at least here in the US) than INXS. I can't believe MTV plays that monotonous and unintelligible video, "Mmmbop", more often than EW. Truly, there is no doubt that INXS makes better music--and I don't just say that as a fan. So why can't everybody else see that? Logically, INXS should do better overall than most of the crap--I mean music--on the radio. Why are there even record companies signing and promoting teeny bop? Its not that I hate Hanson, I just think they are so short lived and unenduring compared to groups like INXS. Why waste the time and money promoting Hansen? Forgive my babbling, its just that it causes me physical pain to see this happening!

The hurt was somewhere deep under my eyes even before the wake up call shook me from my almost-sleep. It was 7:15 Sunday morning and I was a mess. Room spinning, queasiness - the whole deal. The Jack and Cokes from the night before were making their way back up my throat, into my mouth, and now onto the plush, beige carpet next to the bed. I ran for the toilet. When INXS named their new album "Elegantly Wasted", I don't think this is exactly what they had in mind. Or maybe they did... The concept of anything related to "action sports" was probably not the best idea that morning. Despite amazing conditions, excellent terrain, and the very cool company, my head hurt just too much. I took another swig of the half empty glass on the table, popped a few Tylenols, and headed for the door. And then back to the toilet. Then back to the door. Later that day, as the guys from INX are prettying themselves up for a pre-mobiling photo shoot, singer Michael Hutchence, a main accomplice in the previous evening's antics, echoes my feelings of nausea. "Hey Brent, what the fuck happened last night?!" But, despite two make-up ladies and the band's own personal stylist, Hutchence (who is more than capable of caring for himself) has polmade in hand and is doing his own hair. "It's just because none of us will touch the greasy stuff", says stylist Lynne, mockingly. He grimaces at her over his shoulder. With three racks of the highest fashion designer clothes, six band members clamoring over what to wear, three stylists trying to style, two maagers trying to manage, a photographer trying to photograph, a publicist trying to publicize, and myself trying not to throw up again, it's wall to wall madness in this one small hotel room. Top that off with food carts of room service, lingering clouds of cigarette smoke...well, you get the point. Photos go smoothly and the band is excited about hitting the snowmobiles. Downstairs at the carport a sleek, ultra-extended, all black Suburban limo arrives. Since everyone in town already knows that INXS is here, it's almost like advertising for their upcoming show as we cruise this stately ride through town. At one point, I even think that it might be nice to have Clint Eastwood and Rene Russo jogging alongside. Looking like a wild pack of city-folk, the 12 of us arrive at the T Lazy 7 Ranch - and we're not exactly dressed for the occasion. Though these guys are a worldly bunch who've practically seen it and done it all, today's snowmobiling adventure will be a first for the band. Since Australia isn't exactly snow country, and with neither myself nor James (the photographer) having done this before, none of us really knows what to expect. No one had the time or energy for another costume change so the band members remain in Armani jackets, fancy shirts, and other very inappropriate-or-snowmobiling wear. The juxtaposition of the pristine natural surroundings and the lycra, velvet and silk is just far too amusing. "We'll be taking the 10 mile ride through the White River National Forest", explains the gentleman from the ranch who will be out trusty tour guide. "The machines we have are Bear Cat 340's made by Arctic Cat. These are all new snowmobiles, so please take care of them. We'll go all the way out to the lake at the base of the Maroon Bells ("North America's most photographed mountains" according to the brochures) and please always allow enough room between riders to assure for a safe braking distance. There's a snowmobile for each of you and if you're all familiar with Jet Skis, they start and stop very much the same way." With the guide along for the trip, it appeared that this wasn't gonna be the typical danger-filled Bikini Test Drive. These Australians will probably not get arrested for reckless behaviour as the ones in last month's issue did. The scenery may be beautiful but the ride will probably stay pretty tame. Before we get started, Hutchence want a look under the hood. As a kid in Australia, he was heavily into motorcycles and really knows his stuff. He asks about the engine, torque, braking, plus other stuff way over my non-mechanical head. He's totally into this. Tim Farriss, one of the three Farris brothers in the band, is finally waking up. He apparently had a rough morning of his own. Jon Farriss and his wife decide to share a ride, and the two of them with ther edgy good looks end up resembling some sort of biker couple from Easy Rider. Andrew (the third and oldest Farriss) and Kirk Pengilly are a little more chill, maybe a bit concerned about loss of life or limb or some other mishap that could preclude them from their upcoming gig. Even Hutchence, with all his confident swagger and style, starts out pretty slow compared to bassist Garry Gary Beers, who's already let loose from the word go. Single file, moderate speed, and very peaceful. this is how the tour began. The ride reminded me of the Autopia at Disneyland, where you wish the cars would go fastser...and that you could take them off of the track. Hell, I was even thinking about ramming into Garry who was riding in fron to fme. His crazy ass would have loved it. Garry was definitely the daredevil of the group. When the bassist realized we'd be travelling through a narrow path of snow embankments at less than deadly speeds, he decided to crash up through the softer snow, flip his wrist full throttle, and create a fishtail off the drop. Snow would fly and the machine would lurch and slide. He might be tearing up their course a little, but this was at least fun." to be continued Gawd, this is exhausting...I'll finish transcribing it later...

The Advertiser recently had a reader's question about INXS in its daily "What's Your Problem?" section: Has INXS ever headlined or supported at Football Park? The paper replied that, according to staff at the venue, INXS has never performed there. However for some reason I seem to remember that INXS did perform there around the LLT era, or perhaps for the Australian Made tour. Does anyone know for sure? 3. I visited a large suburban shopping centre and checked out some record stores. I saw that a major department store and a small CD shop also have those numbered EW packs. Also I was shocked to find some hugely discounted CDs, including Jenny Morris' Salvation Jane for $8 - that's 70+% off! Maybe I should visit that shopping centre more often. Cheers, Bruno A.

Well, if I was in a band I'd be quite honoured that someone was actually taking an interest in my music by making a website. Silverchair encourage it, and so do many other Australian bands. I'm sure INXS themselves have said some good stuff about Neil's site, right? > The newspaper said the initiative was a first for the industry but part of > a general clampdown against intellectual copyright infringements on the > Web.

WHY???? > > Philip > Here we go again. First of all, I'll ignore your condescending tone as if you're lecturing a bunch of children. Second of all, if we set out to try to explain why this album is a "failure"--COMMERCIALLY--you'll just roll your eyes and say we're making up excuses, so we can't win. But I'll try to humor you. Most importantly, to begin with, Elegantly Wasted is NOT a bad album. In fact, every album since Kick has been superior artistically and stylistically than that (great) album. None of them, however, has had the "pop flavor" of Kick. X did well, but ANY album after Kick would of done well (one of my favorite theories is that if FMDH was released after Kick instead INXS might still be on top of the charts). Like James Hutchins points out in his current article, Americans like to categorize things. ALL things. So when INXS doesn't put Kick part 2 with a far reaching sound like on WtWYA, people are turned off because, like Hutchence said in a FMDH-era interview, they don't have something "to play in (their) vette." Ironically, if they tried to duplicate Kick (which several songs on EW do) people would say they never changed; they never evolved--like U2; THEY changed with Achtung Baby. But U2 has always had sort of a reputation for being cutting edge, so people are more prepared to accept a drastic artistic change from them. INXS, on the other hand, had more of a reputation for sticking to mainstream dance/ funk/rock, so any deviation from them is too difficult to take for the more fickle record buyers. I think most people won't buy an album if they're not a fan to begin with unless it has heaps of promotion. My brother and another friend of mine both bought U2's Pop and they aren't even U2 fans. But since the album got so much hype and the singles got constant airplay they decided to get it. (I consider myself a U2 fan and I don't even have it!!) I've played WtWYA and FMDH to friends over the years and they thought they were both good albums. But would they buy either of them? Nope. Why? That's hard to answer. Could be they have other albums to buy first and just never get to it. Could be because there's no "hype" and incentive for them to go out and nab their copy before it sells out. But is it because the music is bad? No way. And by what measure are you deeming the album a failure? A disaster? Or any other negative terms you thrive on? The album and single are doing well in several parts of the world. Number one in South Africa, MTV Latino, Top Ten in Canada. (Even FMDH sold 500,000 copies in South America.) But yes, the album has not been the breakthrough smash we all hoped for here in the United States. It's unfortunate in a sense, but the truth is NOTHING can be considered a true "success" unless it is a success in America. And anything that doesn't is a dismal failure. That is a very arrogant and American attitude that I for one don't share but the great majority of Americans DO have this view. Is this album "done", as you just looooooove to point out? Number 100 after four weeks may indicate that and lend some credence to your claim. But the second single hasn't even been released!!! And whether it's Everything or Don't Lose Your Head, either can get good airplay and promote the album. But the game's not over, yet. INXS have been getting rave reviews for their tour and Don't Lose Your Head will have a tie-in with a major summer movie. Round Two hasn't even BEGUN yet.

But I still believe that a huge single will get people excited again and do things all the promotion in the world couldn't do. Just look at bands like Journey and Duran Duran. Everyone wrote them off and they're albums had no hype, yet they came back due to huge, surprise hit singles. We need hits!! I'll go to my grave saying it. INXS could solve all they're problems with just one over the top song. If they're was a song as strong as say Suicide Blonde on EW, we'd all be watching a storybook comeback right now.

Actual everything Brian said was so true but I think another important thing to bring up is the cost of cds themselves. Most people just can't afford to go out and buy every new release by a band so here's where the heaps of promotion plays apart.

INXS was in the public eye, so the public bought INXS for a bit. i really feel that as long as the coming singles get the great airplay EW did, the album can work its way back up. remember--kick had a low debut and floated around the charts for awhile before it rocketed. i also think that a lot of people want to be assured that an album has more than one good track on it. (which EW *definitely* does!) i know that when i'm considering buying a new cd, i like to wait and hear a few singles off it before i buy it. so, i'm sure when people hear everything and don't lose your head, they'll start grabbing it! kick didn't blow up till NYT AND new sensation were released. people gotta know they're gettting their money's worth. PLUS--one factor that makes me remain optimistic and confident-in THE WALL of all places, (IMO, the most overpriced ridiculous excuse for a music store), i saw EW on the hot hits and bestseller shelves right in the front of the store. one more thing--Kris, if youre out there, can you send me your address again so i can send your pix out? thanks! :) -Josh X-Sender: marsland@mail-g.deakin.edu.au Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 13:56:47 +1100 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu From: Matthew Marsland Subject: Re: [INXS] Adelaide Football Park Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu At 09:31 AM 24/05/97 +2910, you wrote: > >2.

However for 'Australian Made' I can give you very exact details (they didn't play there): On January 1st 1987 (also the day Dogs in Space was released BTW), the band arrived from Sydney on Ansett Flt No AN252, which departed Sydney at 11.35am and arrived at 1.00pm. The band stayed at the Adelaide ParkRoyal. They played at Thebarton Oval, which is 10 minutes from the hotel. There was 2x28 seat coaches which ran between the hotel and the venue to take band members to the venue every half an hour. INXS' set took place between 9.10 to 10.25pm. Anyway the only Football Park show in Adelaide is that 1985 one, as far as I know. Matthew.

I've been silent about it because I wanted to be sure of it's actual existence. Here's the latest information. While the response has been a lot less than hoped for as a result of the IN2XS address printed in the EW cd booklet, we are still forging ahead. I've been in discussions with management and they have agreed to produce small neon colored flyers promoting the fanclub to distribute at the concerts on the upcoming world tour. Obviously this is our core audience and if it's done with the right amount of presence and aggression we should see a healthy membership develop. A bit of old-fashioned guerrilla advertising, right up my alley! If this doesn't work, well....... probably nothing ever will! The band and Paul are behind the club and do want to see it's success. The talks have been preliminary, but he has assured me it's a great idea and he's willing to do it. I'm designing the flyer tomorrow. The plan is to have stacks of flyers at the merchandise counters and concession stands, in the bathrooms (great literature to read while stopping in!), in the tour books, AND, here's where YOU can help. I said I could arrange for fans to pick up stacks of flyers and distribute them to people in line, in the halls, in the parking lots, just generally be obnoxious about shoving them in people's faces (just kidding). If you're going to any concerts and want to promote the fanclub, please email me directly. I'll have a "gift" for those who volunteer ...... (yes, a backstage pass would be great, and I'm working on it, so no promises yet about that one!!). So, let me know. The UK and Euro tour starts soon (please only respond for these dates, as we don't have the US dates yet). Thanks to all who support this!

The Danish supermodel dated INXS frontman MICHAEL HUTCHENCE in 1994 and 1995 and she admits hearing their tracks is an emotional thing. But she stresses the trauma of the break up of her relationship with Hutchence - who is now dating British TV host PAULA YATES - is long over. "Their lyrics are honest and full of feelings," she explains. "It's been two years... We broke up and moved on but there's always going to be feelings of attachment." She adds listening to INXS' latest record ELEGANTLY WASTED makes her think about her time with Hutchence. "You always have emotions for them and care about them and worry about how their lives are going to be," she says." -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- nkoth@iname.com NJ Med '00 -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 18:01:00 To: INXS-list@iastate.edu From: Sue Subject: [INXS] SOTW#38 - Bitter Tears Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu In responding to the INXS Song of Week you can give your opinions on the lyrics and music of the song, its strong or weak points, and/or any special meaning the song has had at one time, or still holds for you.

Thanks to Matthew for the information regarding INXS at Football Park. In the late eighties I remember that concert was mentioned on the radio. And thanks for reminding me that the Australian Made show was at Thebarton Oval. I wish I could've been there ... 3. Last Saturday night I went out with some friends and we stopped by at an Internet Cafe. Unfortunately my friends are clueless when it comes to the Internet, so I gave them a tour. Of course I showed them Neil's site, as well as the official EW site. Some other people had gathered behind us and seemed to be interested in the INXS sites. 4. The City of Adelaide library makes CDs available for borrowing. It has two copies of EW, both of which are out on loan. There seems to be some interest in EW, because there were at least three reservations on the CDs. Hopefully this will translate into sales. 5. EW was at #16 in Brashs' top 20 selling albums last week. 6. Here's a new web site dedicated to Depeche Mode, INXS, U2, and Enigma: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/1028/ 7.

Jewels Date: Mon, 26 May 1997 01:11:04 -0700 From: indigo hall To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: [INXS] very long article - part two Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu my humblest apologies for the delay in typing this...I had a really busy weekend . INXSnowmobiling - part two "At full throttle we were doing around 45 mph, but these 340's were nothing compared to the Vmax 600's which fly at speeds upwards of 100 mph. Still, at full speed, there was a pleasant exhilaration to it all, but always with that constant nagging to go just a *little* faster. At the halfway point, we disembark the machines at a warming hut and are surprised by the piping hot chocolate that's waiting for us, all part of the trip. The guides are very proud of this little treat the ranch offers, and we're not opposed to the warm hospitality. It's also a good time for a cigarette break, especially in this mountain fresh air, so everyone indulges. After a few flung snowballs, a couple clicks of the camera, and a body or two tackled in the snow, we're back on the machines for the second leg of the ride. Heading back, the pace of things changes. Michael has decided these things aren't too dangerous and lets loose with all his motorcycle fury. He and Garry try and outdo each other on the embankments, with Tim also joining in the fun. Kirk is now pleasantly cruising along with Andrew gaining on him, a newfound devil on his shoulder too. Jon and his wife are lost in their own reverie, still cruising along and laughing it up. Through the stretch and back at the ranch, the guides allow us some extended time on an oval snow track designed for the snowmobiles. There are a few near-misses around the hairpin turns (snowmobiles don't exactly handle well) but it's the perfect finish to the ride. As we unload, everyone is smiling and laughing, with looks like the ones you put on after a roller coaster ride. I'm even thinking it would be great to go around one more time. "That was fantastic," Hutchence laughs on the trip back to the hotel. "It was really a good day." So the hoopla at the core of this whole slippery trip is really about INXS' ceremonious return to the pop arena. The new album on their new record label (Mercury), Elegantly Wasted, is elegantly confident and speaks of the '90s without bandwagonesque jumping into techno stylings - like certain contemporaries of theirs have done. Still, there's a lot on this record that really is new for the band this time around, and after a listen or two it's clear how special the project is to them. In the years since their last release, the three brothers in INXS lost their mother to cancer, which ultimately affected this album in many ways. Without being painful or downtrodden, there's a sense of celebration of love and life on this record that comes across as completely hopeful and charged for a new era. Their songwriting remains superb; not every band has had the string of international hits that these guys have had. Songs such as the anthemic "Everything", and the eloquent "Searching" are of the heart, while others such as "Show Me" and "Girl on Fire" just plain rock. The track "Just A Man" is basically the story of Hutchence's life (and quite a life it is, trust me). Everything about this new album, even down to the artwork for the commercial packaging, sparkles with something sharp and important and urgent. The ambition in this record is really easy to find. And I swear I'm not just saying this because I enjoyed snowmobiling with them (though maybe the heavy imbibing of cocktails helped just a little). One last night out with the band was more than a memorable time. Drinks were flung back at an alarming rate, but mostly by James the photographer and myself. Tim decided to wear his newly purchased leather Gucci suit, a $3000 cream-coloured masterpiece of fashion that he keenly topped off with a matching cream Stetson. Very over the top. Ending up an another local hang, Tim is now getting the "who the hell do you think you are" looks from some of the rougher looking dudes at the bar while James and I are approached...no it was more like *attacked*, by two girls that we later dubbed "mountain trash". You had to be there. Most people in the bar just don't know what to make of the scene we've caused, although a couple of fellows on vacation from "down under" instantly recognize their homeland heroes and come over to share a drink. Kirk quickly became tonight's first party disaster, at first slipping nonchalantly on the ice outside the bar and then rushing his night to an early end with too much too soon. Hutchence, who ran into uber-singer Robert Palmer at the hotel earlier, was seen disappearing into the night with Palmer, conspiring about something unknown to the rest of us (singer-type stuff, I suppose). He wasn't seen or heard from again. Shutting down bars seems like a regular event for these guys. Tim seems to be the type that won't go home until he has to because there's nowhere left to go. James, though, would end up the real casualty of the evening. Back at our hotel, his room quickly became the Coney Island carousel and he lost his cookies in the bathroom like I did this morning. As far as we could tell, the band went 1 for 6 this weekend in that rather messy category. Our Bikini crew at least ended up 2 for 2." So there you go listmembers, enjoy the reading!!

Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I found myself watching 'Melting in the Sun' (the Swing & Other Stories Version) last nignt. Has anyone ever noticed that when Michael gets his throat cut, the blood splatters against the wall, and there's words on the wall that say "Norman Bites", now if you changed the 'i' to an 'a', it would be "Norman Bates" who is the murderer in the famous shower scene in the movie "Psycho". The 'i' might also been worn out and could have been an 'a'. Also added to this is the fact that Michael is in a bathroom brushing his teeth at the start of the video, and the bathroom aspect is also an important theme in "Psycho". I had never taken any notice of what the words on the wall said before, the only reason I picked up on this is because I had to watch "Psycho" for one of my subjects at Uni about a month ago. Anyway has anyone else noticed this before? I'll ask Richard Lowenstein and let you know if I'm right about this. Take Care, Matthew.

They are three guys in they're fortys who are classy and accepting they're age and not trying to dance aroung like guys in they're 20's. You gotta respect that.

I don't know for sure, I'm guessing it's their recent LA show. It was taped for radio, so I don't see why not for television as well.

Our network has been down and the backlog of the weekends mail is slowly arriving. Well the Everything video opened up the Chart Show on Saturday Morning. Always a good start to the weekend and a sure sign that the single was coming out yesterday. (Spookily the vid was followed by the new Alicia's Attic video.) The vid is INXS playing in the middle of a fairly small circular arena on a rotating stage. The arena is stepped. At the start it's empty but as the band play the arena beings to fill with an enthusiastic audience. The video features the crowd clapping and singing along with the chorus. 'Shout', 'Cry' etc.... A nice vid - if not as interesting as EW. Suits the track well in my opinion. Well bought the new singles yesterday. Both are 1.99 for this week as per usual. Details are below. Ironically, due to the Everything release being delayed a week it was released on the same day as Hanson MmmBop. (And as for my tuppenceworth on the Hanson single. It's a catchy pop tune, nothing of any great substance, but who can say what they'll be up to in 20 years time. I'm sure there were many who doubted that INXS would still be together now on the basis of 'We Are The Vegetables' ! ) I agree with all those who say band bashing should be kept off the list. I'd be much more interested in hearing positive things about other INXS list members other musical preferences. Anyway I love Let it Ride and the live CD is a nice one to have - although it makes me a bit jealous that I didn't make it to the gig. Remixes aren't to my taste. They are of the 'ditch all the music/tune and most of the vocal' variety. Shame - I'm sure someone could come up with a great pop remix of Girl on Fire. So the question now is - have we got any South African members on the list to fill us in with details of the start of the world tour propper? Does anyone know what the plans for the stage set are? I hope they recreate the EW world on stage as that would look very cool indeed. Cheers, Jon.

Can someone tell me if was ever a single in any other country and if so when and what other tracks are on it. Also, I don't know if this happened worldwide or not, but in Australia, if you bought EW from Brashs (a music store) you got a free six track live cd from Aspen - February 1997, it contains New Sensation, Searching, EW, Kick, What You Need (a new live version - look out for it at the concerts!) and Need You Tonight. It has a white cover with red writing. Did other countries get this? A local radio station actually broadcast this complete concert the day before the Australian release of EW.

It was meant to be only when you pre-ordered the album, because I have a copy of the order form, but I guess because sales haven't been huge so they are still giving them away if you buy the album. Some stores are selling them seperate even I've been told, but I live no where near a Brashs store so I haven't seen this happening personly. >A local radio station actually broadcast this complete concert the day >before the Australian release of EW. Actually, it was the Brussel's gig that was broadcast on triple M radio, not the Aspen gig. Cheers, Matthew. BTW.

From: Marcel de Natris To: "'inxs-list@iastate.edu'" Subject: AW: [INXS] New Videos Date: Thu, 29 May 1997 13:14:08 +-200 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu I've read these comments on the new video's and would like to state that in my opinion INXS need a really cool video for one of the next singles. I love the new album and I am not one to complain about INXS not being on the #1 spot, but IF we (and them) want them to be higher in the charts, IMHO the videos should be more 'catching'. The EW video was OK, but really: do you want to watch that every day again and again ? It is a one-timer ! I am afraid the next one will be the same since it is the guys performing before a crowd. Myself, I have been dreaming of a rotating stage (being a drummer) for years but I don't think that a clip like that will get a lot of play. I am not sure how it works in the US (with all those local radio stations) but here in the NL there are only a few radio and TV stations. Clips are important here, both for MTV and another (Dutch) TV station called "The music factory". To cut a medium length story short: I am hoping for a new EXITING video that helps boost both the single and the album. Marcel PS I saw a funny commercial of reebok, with funny muppet-kind-of characters (one with two heads ?) it was very short but it got my attention and I am not into sportshoes at all. (Get it ?) PS2 I am not sure if I recall correctly, but i can remember a videoclip - of Donald Fagen ? - where a lot of little guys in cars drive around in a factory-setting. Mediocre song, but a great video !!! ---------- Van: CheleRocks@aol.com[SMTP:CheleRocks@aol.com] Verzonden: woensdag 28 mei 1997 22:09 Aan: inxs-list@iastate.edu Onderwerp: [INXS] Don't Lose Your Head Good news from the May 26 issue of HITS: "Although it was never meant as a single, INXS will release "Don't Lose Your Head" as a promo tie-in with Paramount's Summer blockbuster "Face Off" starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.

Always a good start to the weekend and a sure sign that the single was coming out yesterday. (Spookily the vid was followed by the new Alicia's Attic video.) The vid is INXS playing in the middle of a fairly small circular arena on a rotating stage. The arena is stepped. At the start it's empty but as the band play the arena beings to fill with an enthusiastic audience. The video features the crowd clapping and singing along with the chorus. 'Shout', 'Cry' etc.... A nice vid - if not as interesting as EW. Suits the track well in my opinion.

You should get this CD, if only for the reason that its so hard to get in the U.S. It's only been available as an import item, and I've never actually seen it in a store, except for used CD stores.

CDEurope has both singles at $15.95 each, but I would wait a week or two until CDNow gets them -- CDEurope is notoriously bad with delivering things quickly (you'll have to wait a few months before they send the singles), so you're better off waiting till CDNow gets 'em in.

Date: Sat, 31 May 1997 00:55:14 -0000 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: inxs-list@iastate.edu X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by majordomo.iastate.edu id WAA15517 Hi you all out there, Finally I managed to tape the program "Hora Prima" who features an exclusive interview with Michael Hutchence. The program was a one our interview mixed with videos from the band. The order of the videos is as following : 1.- Elegantly Wasted 2.- Dissapear 3.- Listen like Thieves ( As a special request from Michael) 4.- Taste it ( Version II) with shots of live concerts, backstage etc...Real Cool, first time I seen it. 5.- The Gift 6.- Not Enough Time. The Vj is Chilean...Great Partner!!!!!!!!. VJ: Well, here we are with a person who donīt need any presentation....you are Michael Hutchence from INXS. Welcome ! You are a super rockstar, do you mind that you are too well known, I mean people see your photos in magazines, newspaper and.... MH: No there is no problem for me . Itīs fine... VJ: Having in mind how big you are, the popularity of INXS and you last album EW, are you enjoying all that stuff ? MH: Well, the albumitīs gone very well, now enyoing it .....ocassionally, I mean Iīm so happy with the album success. VJ: I have to admit that the title "EW" itīs says a lot...With EW you mean "the music", "the band", "people in the band"....Why "Elegantly" ? It has something to do with the band or nothing to do with it ? MH: Nothing at all ! Oh yea maybe a little bit..Itīs just a great title. We had lot of fun making the cover, we created a world on it. ..you know we spent 3 days in the desert and we just wanted to the title and our clothes on the cover reflected this madness...and if you look it carefully you realize that there are a lot of things happening. VJ: Who is the girl over there..she is a model an actress ? MH: She is Danish or from Norway I donīt remember, but her name is Lara. I canīt even pronunce her last name, but she is great, she is F A N T A S T I C ! we wanted someone unusual and who act. VJ: Where did you shot the picture cover ? MH: Somewhere in LA. VJ: Letīs go for the first video EW MH: Letīs go folks ! VJ: There are almost 4 years without an INXS studio album..in the meanwhile there was greatest hit compilation. I read that EW used the 4 track machine concept that took it to a higher level, but also was used to record the demos ? MH: Yeah ! that was the original idea. We had nine month for writing the songs and we spent ah..... you know one weekend here one weekend there, really casual, then we called us when we had an idea an inmediatly we got together...and then we recorded it as soon as possible. We had all the recording stuff in suitcase so we could record in any place that we could be...you know, hotel rooms, bars, etc, so we had a lot songs ready for the day studio entrance...then the band just rehearsedfor a week and then we recorded it in two. We used a lot of the demo stuff. Itīs fresh only one or two take for each song. VJ: So in way the band got closer together because of that good experience. MH: Yes, we had alot of fun a real good time. VJ: By the time of FMDH there were a lot of good videos, but everybody was writing in magazines and newspapers, that you were not feeling vey confortable with each other that you were needing a break ? MH: Yea, probably the first month of the FMDH recording was the worse time for the band ever. It was a very difficult time we analized lot of things, there were coming new managment, new record label, new agents etc. the second month was better, we workout all that stuff, taking more control of what we do. VJ: Sometimes it takes many years to realize that the best way to do things is selfproductions. MH: Yes , we always had taken control of our productions, but the problems is that there were a lot bad thing happening by this time, we had a lot of ideas and we wanted to go in onother direction, and thats the way the things happens....itīs fine. VJ: What do you remember about LatinAmerica. There is a bandmate that loves Buenos Aires Argentina, It happens something exiting there ? MH: A lot of thigs, coming from Australia. Australian look the world in a different way from a musical point of view...you know England and the States have the monopoly of bands and all that stuff, so we felt closer to Latin America since they are outside of the mainstream for whats happening in those countrys. Also we did some of our first gig in Mexico city. VJ: Maybe thatīs why "EW" reached number one in radio stations in Argentina and Mexico, and people over there is very interest if INXS is touring S.America in a near future ? MH: I hope so...ah by the end of this year. We star touring S. Africa, then England, then some summer festivals in Europe with people like Ross Kildor, then USA for a little while and maybe then we could visit S.America. VJ: THere is a name for the tour ? MH: Not yet... VJ: Maybe no names (laughs) MH: Just INXS. VJ: This is a special petition of Michael.... MH: Well the next video is LLT. VJ: Thatīs the classic video LLT from INXS, what do you remember of that time, it was just before the huge explosion of kick. MH: Yeah...That video was directed by R. Lowenstein the sameone who directed the film Dogs in Space. We used lot of people from the movie in the video, it was set down in a Melbourne Theater and we had alot of fun. By that time were touring, playing lotīs of gigs for bulding up a name for INXS....thing started to go well for us. VJ: How do you feel about the "Comeback" of bands like Depeche Mode, U2 , The Cure and INXS, you feel you belong to this icons or much more with the ī90 ? MH: I think with both of it. All the band you mentioned started in late ī70 like us. we were an unusual band mixing punk and disco. We were all part of a new change in music and radio tastes, we were part of the alternative movement, but now in a way we are consider in the mainstream. Itīs fine for us, I like what we started mixing punk and rock, has become so popular. VJ: You feel specially proud with WTWYA wich was a different album ?. MH: Yea, this album and Kick are my favorites and also of other members of the band..."Welcome" was much more studio record, it was experimental, after "X". VJ: There is some people who always wants something new and reenventing...I feel that EW it has a lot of INXS past, but at the same moment it has a future sound, What itīs the future for INXS ? MH: We never know. It depends what is happening with each other when we got together again...I agree with you, We tried to record an album thats shows what itīs INXS , the original sound of the band, there is a difference between reinvention and doing whats happening out there, so we tried to be responsable with our signature, we are so obstinate, we donīt want to jump on the wagon of what are all doing!. VJ: There is a new album, new tour, and itīs better not to talk long future, long run... MH: Yea, At the moment al itīs OK. The band is proud of the album and the band itīs better that ever. VJ: You are gonna keep on doing side proyects like the one with no taking just heads? MH: Yes, it was a dream come true singing with the Heads since Talking Heads was a very important band for us as INXS. We all are working in other proyects, Andrew had just produce the "GUNS" new album, Tim is acting in a movie, kirk is involved in soudtrack stuff, all of us have always someting to do before returning to INXS, Iīm on a solo album now as well...a new one. VJ: You were involved in a Rolling Stone Sinphonic thing...? MH: OH yea...you know "Killing Joke", Jazz from "Killing Joke" is a conductor, he is brilliant he organized all the albumwith the LOndon Sinphonic and the R.S. VJ: What does R.S means for you and for INXS ? MH: Well, Theyīre music is Rythm and Blues, wich we love it, but they are not the only ones who done it, but we like them very much. VJ: The next video "The Gift", This is HI-FI and HI TECNO video, Enjoy it. VJ: The Gift belongs to FMDH there was agreat video and also there was Chrissy Hynde and Ray Charles....Nobody was invited for this new record ? MH: We used some backing vocals, metal intruments, cause our producer B. Fairburn itīs great with metal instrumnets, then we used a cuban guy on percussion "Luis Conte". VJ: Do you think INXS is "Cool" because of the mixture of punk with blues sounding very very groovy ? MH: We love to much dance and rythm, when we started we used to listen to Iggy Pop for all day an then going to discos by night. VJ: You also were involved in Elvis tribute, whats the meaning of Elvis for you ? MH: Yes, Elvis was an incredible singer and he helped trevolution rock at least for white people. VJ: As I said at the beggining of the program, you are a rockstar, and itīs hard to avoid that you are MIchael Hutchence From INXS even though you are out of the move for 4 years or whatever... MH: Yea, but i walk and do what ever I want, if you make fuzz, then people make fuzz too, but if you act like any other people, then they respect you......EXECPT IN LONDON !!!!. (Laughs). VJ: London is the capital of the world, is the most heat city of the world? MH: They think that, Im not sure anyway, but there is a lot of activity over there, and even you could find good food, something incredible from England. VJ: In relation to the video for mediate...there is a reference to Bob Dylan, what does he mean to you ? MH: Nothing to me...itīs mean a lot to Andrew, he is always talking about him, I have just discovered him, we rip off his video. VJ: Do you like florida..... MH: Yes we lovet it....I gotta go to cuba also...I gotta go!!!!! VJ: All of you are still living in OZ ? MH: Yes, Iīm the only one who lives in London, but we all have our base in OZ.There are our roots. VJ: Whatīs hapenning in OZ in music terms ? MH: There are very good bands raising...like "Spider Bait", "New Am I", "Silverchair", "Savage Garden"....lotīs of bands. VJ: There is something new you like or inspire you for the future ? MH: Yes Beck is really good, believe it or not, we know whats going on, the electronic music started with such bands like "Suicide", "Can", etc for almost 30 years!!!. So to watch bands like The Prodigy, Chemical Bros, Dust Bros etc, it is natural to me. T H E E N D Sorry for been so boring, but I want you to read what Michael says to MTV Latino.

All bands grow, change, and evolve, but that doesn't mean a prior piece isn't good--just sounds different. That cd is not easy to find in these days of poor older catalog selections in music stores--only top selling hits seem to be available these days. One of the pitfalls of most of the US music stores being in bankruptcy, or on the verge. Go get it--it should be very upbeat and danceable like their other older works. It should be reasonablly similar to Shabooh Shabaah. Let me know what you think after you have heard it--then I'll see if I can hunt down a copy. Enjoy!

Granted, it will usually be empty, but I figure we can all properly now have real chats once in a while! Should we decide on a weekly time to meet? (And yes, I'm in there right now in case anyone wants to join me.) I tried hard to get a WWWBoard for the site, but my very unfriendly UMDNJ admin people won't let me support the cgi script required ------- so the chat room was the route I decided to take! Hope you guys enjoy using it! -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- nkoth@iname.com NJ Med '00 -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html
