Not only did they do this without telling me, but they haven't been willing to even acknowledge that they have done this - I had to find out through other sources. Needless to say, I'm a little bit upset at them right now. However, the bottom line here is that the list is broken and there is no way to get it fixed. In order to continue hosting the list on nightswimming, I would have to use a 3rd party CGI script which poses a few problems one being that I don't know a lot about CGI and the other being that I would have to put out money that I don't have for support and services on whatever new software is needed for the list. In other words, the list is going to have to be moved elsewhere. So what happens next? I don't know. Since I just found this out today, I haven't really had time to plan anything out. Courtney and I are going to have to talk with Nancy and look into what other possibilities are available. As soon as we know whats going to happen, we will migrate the list to its new home and let everybody know whats going on.

Also, Congrats again Abby (and now Nanci as well!) on yours & John's newest addition to the family -- as of June 11th, all us listers have a brand new INXS fan that recently joined the ranks -- yay JON!!!!!!!! *************************** Hello All, I flipped the tv on late last night and caught a half-hour or so of Bono on Charlie Rose. It was a really interesting interview -- keep an eye out for reruns if you're a U2 fan and haven't seen it! At one point Charlie was asking him about the songs on "All That You Can't Leave Behind" and Bono mentioned that "Kite" is his current favorite. He began talking about his growing awareness of his own mortality and mentioned a 'musician friend' who recently took his own life. He became a little emotional at this point in the interview and his thoughts jumped around a bit, but Rose asked him to talk about the song some more and surely enough he talked about the singer of INXS -- Charlie Rose immediately jumped in with Michael's name. Bono went on to talk a bit about Michael and how 'light-footed' he was, which I thought was a lovely way to define Michael's personality, and talked about how unbelievable his suicide was. Most people usually talk about "Stuck in a Moment" and the obvious references to Michael in those lyrics (and of course the dedications at concerts, etc). "Kite" always reminded me of Michael as well -- but the references are a little more subtle and introspective. So it suprised me a bit to hear and see Bono's honesty and emotion in regards to the song. For anyone who doesn't have the cd, I'll type the lyrics below. Enjoy!!

Davy ===== Tired of looking at everyone's lame personal homepages which contain nothing that YOU care about? Well, I dont care, come see mine anyway. http://www.nightswimming.com From: "Lisa Williams" To: Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 4:30 PM Subject: INXS: I Saw This on ABCNEWS.COM LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - For the first time in almost four years, one of Australia's most successful rock bands, INXS, is playing a few shows in North America. But the crowd at their recent Los Angeles stop consisted of about 70 Rhino Records employees and a few reporters, just two of the band's six members were on stage, and the bespectacled singer looked nothing like Michael Hutchence, the group's charismatic vocalist. Hutchence committed suicide in November 1997, and his bandmates are having a hard time deciding whether to carry on. In the meantime, they have released a two-CD anthology, "Shine Like It Does," via reissue specialist Rhino. The mini-concert by Andrew Farriss and Kirk Pengilly at Rhino headquarters was designed to rouse the troops and stir up some media coverage. Making new career plans has not been easy for five fortysomething Aussies who sold more than 25 million records during their 23-year career. Band members say no one had any inkling that Hutchence was so distraught about his personal life that he would hang himself in a Sydney hotel room. As they were still grieving, INXS (pronounced "in excess") was dumped by its label. Plans for a comeback U.S. tour this summer with Australian singer Jon Stevens as guest vocalist crumbled after fellow Oz rockers Midnight Oil pulled out of the package. Just as Queen could never replace Freddie Mercury or the Doors Jim Morrison after the untimely deaths of those colorful singers, it seems INXS may have lost the formula that generated seven U.S. top-10 singles and seven MTV Video Music Awards. Then again, hard-rock compatriots AC/DC became even bigger after Brian Johnson stepped in to replace the late Bon Scott 20 years ago. This is the scenario favored by Farriss, the soft-spoken keyboardist who wrote most of INXS' music for Hutchence's lyrics. 'ROCK THE SOCKS OFF' "We still, I think, have the ability to rock the socks off live," Farriss said. "INXS is still that live act. I say that as modestly as I can, but I believe it's true." Farriss, 42, and Pengilly, 43, chatted with Reuters in a Rhino boardroom minutes before their performance. "I don't know yet that it's necessarily a closed door on the future. And artistically, as well as creatively, we still all have capabilities within the group," Farriss said. Pengilly, the guitarist and saxophone player, nodded in agreement. Whatever the group decides will be by unanimous vote, he said later, and there is still no consensus. Pengilly was complimentary about fill-in vocalist Stevens but said the singer did not yet have all five votes. (The group is rounded out by Farriss' brothers -- guitarist Tim and drummer Jon -- and bass player Garry Gary Beers.) As substitute vocalist, Pengilly knows that it takes a lot to fill the shoes of Hutchence, who graduated with honors from the Mick Jagger School for Young Rock Stars. Hutchence's stage swagger, pouting stare and hard-living lifestyle made him one of the biggest names in rock music of the last 20 years. With Pengilly on vocals and guitar and Farriss alternating between guitar and keyboards for the Rhino gig, the duo performed three songs acoustically: "Mystify," "Shine Like It Does" and "Never Tear Us Apart," a ballad played at Hutchence's funeral. Pengilly forgot the lyrics to the latter song and had to start over but the industry crowd did not seem to mind. DVD, DOCUMENTARY IN WORKS The songs on the "Shine Like It Does" album were released previously, but early tracks like "We Are the Vegetables" and some remixed versions of songs are harder to obtain. The comprehensive liner notes tantalizingly refer to unreleased demo and live versions but the compilers did not include them on the album. (Atlantic released a single-disc compilation in 1994 after the group left that label.) Farriss said a planned DVD would offer more rarities. The group has just signed with movie studio Columbia TriStar to produce a career documentary, and Pengilly has kept a diary throughout the years and plans to write a book eventually. With such hits as "Original Sin," "What You Need," "Devil Inside" and "Heaven Sent," Farriss sees the new package as a fitting tribute to Hutchence's talents. "He's an awesome singer and great songwriter and he deserves to be seen in that light, not as someone that necessarily got in a moment they couldn't get out of," he said, referring to a U2 song, "Stuck In A Moment That You Can't Get Out Of," that U2 singer Bono co-wrote for his pal Hutchence. Farriss likes the song and is working on his own tributes, but "knowing Michael since he was a teenager, probably my songs are generated more toward not so much the nature of how his life ended but how his life was." The generally accepted story is that Hutchence was so despondent over child custody fights involving his girlfriend, Paula Yates, and her former husband, Bob Geldof, that he took his own life. Hutchence had been hounded by the British tabloids but evidently opted not to share his turmoil with the bandmates he had known for most of his life. "Whenever he was with us he was fine," Pengilly said. "We all went through, at different stages, all the different emotions that you go through after a death: anger to sadness to even joy," he added. "You go through them all. With everyone it affects everyone differently. The period of time that it takes to get through that differs. I think most of us are pretty well out the other side now." When this year's U.S. dates fell through, INXS and Stevens toured small venues in Australia. They also played during the closing ceremony at last year's Sydney Olympic Games. A year earlier, fronted by soul singer Terence Trent D'Arby, they helped inaugurate the Olympic stadium. INXS will get into the "nitty-gritty" of making future plans within the next few months, Pengilly said, adding his "gut feeling" is that the band will continue. "If INXS calls it a day, that would be it for me," he said. INXS paid its dues playing to Australia's infamously rowdy pub crowds, and Pengilly said he has no desire to start from scratch with another bunch of musicians. ===== Lisa Phelps From: To: Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 6:18 PM Subject: RE: INXS: I Saw This on ABCNEWS.COM I posted this before when I saw the guys last month in Toronto, but no one said anything.

Hey All, Have been trying to get messages thru to the list for a while now, which never got thru, so after seeing the test get thru tonite, thought I'd re-post them....AGAIN. I'll put them all in one post. I mentioned sometime ago that Jon Stevens had been confirmed to be in the stage musical HAIR, and would be with that for sometime, so that coudl explain the 'uncertainty' of INXS's future, but I just heard news that HAIR has been canned and won't be going ahead. So who knows what's in store for INXS now???? Anywayz, was in Collins Booksellers today and saw the NEW EDITION of Just A Man, it's still soft cover, but smaller in size, (not page number, I mean size of actual book/page and print), it has an added chapter: Tiger Lily The Survivor, and a few new pics of Tiger Lily with Patricia and Tina. I haven't had time to read thru it all, but it seems that apart from the added chapter the may be newer info amongst the rest of the book too. Will let you know when I get a chance to read it all.....again. And then also, in today's Sunday Mail they had an article which confirms what I suspected above about Jon Stevens and the future of the band. But I can't be bothered typing it up tonite, so that'll give me something to do tomorrow, and something for you all to look forward to. See ya's, >MITCH Here's the article (from the Encore supplement in The Sunday Mail, July 1, 2001) I finally got around to typing out now: Beers cheers for INXS revival The surviving members of INXS, with vocalist Jon Stevens in tow, have finally decided to take the plunge and reform the band. Pop Pourri has exclusively discovered that the INXS comeback bid, under a yet-to-be-determined name, is set to proceed with tours of Europe and the US, probably later this year. The INXS lineup recently completed a successful 13-show regional tour of Queensland and NSW which served to reinforce the feeling they've been off the track for too long. As well, the bonding between Stevens, the Farriss brothers, Kirk Pengilly and Garry Beers was extremely positive. The fact that Steven's commitment to touring in the ill-fated Hair stadium production was buried last week due to the show's cancellation, will move the group's activities forward. "Jon (Stevens) just rang to say he's in if I'm in," said Beers, who was celebrating his 43rd birthday. "It just feels right now. Before, I was the one with reservations. I wasn't sure. "Everyone has commitments and stuff and family. We can't just blindly rush off and tour again. "Maybe that's teh reason we ended up one man down (due to the death of singer Michael Hutchence). You've got to think about that," he soberly concluded. No decisions have been made about band name or new material, but Beers says a spurt of songwriting had taken place during the recent tour. "Various people have written some songs, and a few with Jon. Making this decision could unblock everything." Apparently a turning point was reached after the band played two AIDS chairty gigs in Vienna, Austria, last month which Beers says "really went off." "Our European agent turned up at the gigs and said 'What's the problem? When are you coming back?'"

Tiger, dressed in a pink gingham dress and red baseball cap, waved to Mickey Mouse and other characters on parade as she spent a sunny Sunday at Disneyland Paris with Bob Geldof and her half-sisters. The orphan was adopted by Geldof following the death of her mother Paula Yates from a drugs overdose last year. She now lives with the Live Aid organiser, his girlfriend Jeanne Marine and his daughters Fifi, 18, Peaches, 12, and Pixie, ten. While she is comfortable calling Geldof 'Dad', Tiger refers to her father Michael Hutchence, who hanged himself in a Sydney hotel room in 1997, as 'Real Dad'. Geldof, who hours before the family trip had been discussing Third World debt and the Aids crisis with world leaders at the G8 summit in Genoa, was determined to make Tiger's first birthday without her mother a memorable occasion. The little girl had found the body of her mother at their home in Notting Hill, West London, after she overdosed on heroin in September last year. Immediately afterwards, Tiger went to live with Geldof and her half- sisters and in December he was granted custody by the High Court. Tiger's aunt, Tina Hutchence, had argued that she and her mother, Patricia Glassop, would be better able to bring up the girl away from the media spotlight. In an interview earlier this year, Geldof said it was entirely natural that Tiger should become part of his family. 'Really, what decision was there to make?' he said. 'I just don't get it. Tiger's their sister. The girls all adore her. 'Before she came to us, I would always see her round at Paula's. 'Here's this little sprog without a Mum or Dad. You gather her up and bring her home to her family. Where else would she be?' Geldof, whose wife walked out on him in 1995 after an affair with Hutchence, the lead singer of INXS, described Tiger as 'absolutely adorable'. He added: 'She is so beautiful, completely cute and already a seriously good dancer. 'She's not just funny in the little things she says, she has a real sense of humour and she knows it.'

Typically these albums bleed all the songs together so the cut off is probably because that is where, on the album, it goes into the next song.

The song, credited to Tall Paul vs INXS, has topped several UK dance charts this week. It will be released in stores next month. Never Tear Us Apart was played during Hutchence's funeral in 1997.

I am here in Cairns, where the Great Barrier Reef is and I am reading all of the responses to my "I am a dumb fan" note...you guys rock! Thank you so much for your support! I am heading back to Sydney and will go to see where Michael and Andrew met as well as his first home. Thank you Cathy for the info; no Gold Coast for me though. I do want to say that people in OZ have been very helpful (sans the former Ritz). Found the former Rhinoceros Studios; I spent half an hour asking a zillion people; none had a clue. I went to find Michael's house he had in the 80's with Michele but the police wouldn't tell me the addy; they had no clue anyone lived there; they even asked me which one and said, "I'm sure its on the internet"! I told em, "Nope...and he sold it in '93". Once again, I REALLY appreciate all your comments!

I dig the trip hop feel to it. well, as trip hop as a song in 6/8 rhythm can be. needs a solo, in my opinion. as cool as tom jones is, the sad thing is that he doesn't contribute anything to the creation of his music other than his own voice. hence, an album of cover tunes is perfect for him. too bad he didn't write what's new pussycat? or it's not unusual. those are just classic songs. ===== got milkshake? get to know eric reed at: http://www.members.tripod.com/skippythefrog/skippy.html Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 05:00:31 +0100 (BST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?eric=20reed?= Subject: best INXS album opener and closer? hi y'alls! recently I was going thru my album collection and I was thinking about how important song order is to an album. importance is not only placed on the substance of the songs on the album, but also in which order they are played, so as to provide fluidity. the most crucial songs are often the album openers and closers. they are often the most unique songs on the album. INXS albums are certainly no exception. of all their albums, the openers and closers have been either highly adored or abhored by fans, and almost always distinctive. my question is: which song do you think is the best album opener on an INXS album, and which song is the best closer? not neccesarily which songs are your favorites, but which are best fitted to be opening and closing an album? my picks are: opener: days of rust. it just kicks FMDH off in high gear, with poignant lyrics and an irresitible rhythm. and the blend into the gift keeps the perpetual roll of the rock in motion. closer: men and women. most INXS fans really dislike this song, if not hate it. I have always loved it, and it certainly was an unexpected addition to the masterpiece that is WTWYA. not only did expand the band's creativity, but it shocked people. maybe most of the fans disliked it, but it got their attention. now, building bridges is my favorite INXS song of all time, and it closes the EW album (for us yanks), yet I am choosing men and women over building bridges because I think men and women is better suited to close an album. what are your picks? ===== got milkshake? get to know eric reed at: http://www.members.tripod.com/skippythefrog/skippy.html Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 01:14:55 -0300 From: "Danilo Meira" Subject: Re: best INXS album opener and closer? Hello All!!! Eric, very nice idea you had!!! I was wondering about this some time ago :-) > which song do you think is the best album opener on an >INXS album, and which song is the best closer? Maybe I'll be kinda "logic" about this, but in fact my pick for opener will be What You Need. Why WYN? I think that the opening must be a hit, a song that catches the listener and invites him to listen the rest of the album...nothing better than a High Tempo song like this :-) For a perfect closer, as I think that it has to pass a positive message and a kind of "Thanks for listen, have a good night"...I'd pick Hear That Sound...one of the best INXS songs IMHO and one of the 5 prettiest songs I've ever heard...

It's a great song that would be a good opener or closer, I think. For my own picks, I'd go with "Guns in the Sky" (as someone else already suggested) for an opener. Those grunts at the beginning certainly made/make me sit up and take notice! lol As for a closer, "Don't Change" seems appropriate, since it's how the shows were usually ended, but something like "Stay Young" (it seems like a good "good bye" song), or maybe something quieter, like "The Stairs" could also be good. I don't really know what I'd choose for best closer, I'll have to think about it some more.
