On Saturday 11/25, there was an article in the US edition of the Daily Mirror. On the cover is a heading "Oasis star socks INXS Mike". It goes on to say how Michael called Liam a dickhead for describing Paula as "sad, really sad". Liam then threw a fire extinquisher at Michael saying "I'm going to put this through your face", then punched him in the face when they clashed again later at a VIP party. Liam was promptly thrown out of the party and sent home. Who knows if this stuff is REALLY true? Liam looks like an idiot. Cool pic of Michael, though!!!

The First Annual O.J. Simpson Celebrity Violence Awards July 30, 1995 _________________________________________________________________ The First Annual O.J. Simpson Celebrity Violence Awards In the year since O.J. Simpson was accused of killing two people, a small cottage industry of celebrity violence seems to have sprung up. What better way to recognize excellence in this field, (and raise money for the fight against anti-violence), than the first annual OJ Simpson Awards for outstanding violence by the famous? This year proves to be a very exciting and gala event. The Nominees are: Courtney Love, who punched a fellow rock vocalist backstage at the first concert of this year's Lollapalooza tour on July 4 in George, Washington. Love is still riding strong on Kurt Cobain's suicide, and this year the judges look to be sympathetic to her. We should not, however, discount Australian rock star Michael Hutchence of INXS for Common Assault (or "INXS use of force") over an incident involving a photographer who took a picture of him with his new lover Paula Yates. Reports are that the photographer only got a photograph of a fist. Yes, it's Common Assault for any other celebrity, but Hutchence is new to the fray, and the judges tend to favor new blood. Consider also Eric Douglas, son of Kirk, brother to Michael, and an underdog in this category. He is not famous, but his name is--and what he is missing in fame, he has made up in volume. This year alone, he has trashed a Minneapolis hotel room and been arrested outside a Denny's for want of a gin and tonic past 2:00 am. He has also been cited for drunken driving, and involvement in a hit and run accident after running into a parked car following a fight at the Comedy Store in Hollywood. This Sunday, Douglas was forcibly removed from an American Airlines flight (in handcuffs, no less) after he yelled at flight attendants, meddled with an emergency control panel, and grabbed the buttocks of a female member of the cabin crew. Insiders don't give Douglas much of a chance, though. They say he might look better in the standings if he'd made a movie or something. On Sunday, Chili Davis, of the California Angels dropped his bat during a warm-up swing and poked a fan in the cheek with his finger. The fan had been harassing the team for the entire game and Davis responded with the poke. This is a noteworthy attempt at celebrity violence, but it is barely enough for a nomination. Davis will have to wait until next year. The shoe-in for this year's top honors is unquestionably Def Leppard's drummer, Rick Allen. Two weeks ago, Allen slammed his wife Stacy's head into a wall in an airport lobby and reportedly choked her before airport security personnel could stop him And he did it all with one hand! Who can possibly top that? Hookers and Johns Hugh Grant's hooker, Divine Brown, will get $30,000 for appearing in a Brazilian lingerie commercial saying, "If you don't want your boyfriend to stray, you should wear Valisere lingerie." It's another case of blaming the victim. Miss Divine should watch what commercials she is doing or she'll prostitute herself too early in her new career. Actor Charlie Sheen said Thursday that he hired prostitutes employed by Heidi Fleiss about 20 times between 1991 and 1993 and paid them at least $2,000 per encounter for "heterosexual services." What is a heterosexual service? Getting ripped off? Even Hugh knew that you can get a good deal for $50, and even get drive-through service. And that's the week that was July 30th.

Well, I was at the Times Square Subway Station the other day, and saw Paula on the cover of "Hello!" - some trashy interview UK magazine. The article is rather amusing - she really comes off quite badly. She really doesn't look very good either, but I guess you've all already gathered that.

I've never heard any backwards masking on any INXS songs but I could be wrong. If you're looking for something unusual, check out the video to Listen Like Thieves, there's this guy in a wacky hat, and I have no idea what he's saying.(what's that all about?) Something else to check out is the CD 5 maxi single for Disappear. There is a song on there called Middle Beast, In it I believe there are quotes from Nostradamus, and it too is very unusual. I don't care for the song too much, it's very strange. I remember too, listening a long time ago, to the tape that the song, We Are The Vegetables is on. That tape as well, had something strange on it, if I remember correctly.

The lack of merchandise is probably due to the band's inactivity and lack of demand, unfortunately. Once there is a new album and tour, the merchandise will come back. As far as promotional posters and album flats are concerned, that would be from Atlantic and they would have destroyed it all once the band was dropped. Again, once there's a new album, Mercury will have plenty of stuff. I have asked a friend at Mercury about Michael's solo album and she said that she had heard about it but was not sure when and if it would come out. She'll dig for me and I'll pass any info along.

There are few INXS songs that just bother me, this, though, is definitely one of them. Ray and Michael might sound ok with each other, but not on this song. That "Please" chorus still grates on my nerves... Oh well, just my opinion. As for speculating about other duets, I've got to agree - I think an INXS/PJ Harvey combo would be simply brilliant.

Her voice is completely off in the song, and she turns CW, one of my favorite bands mind you, into silly Top40 popsters, which they just aren't. And that video... (Don't get me going on this.) I even saw them play it live together, and their duet of this song was the lowpoint of the evening... Don't get me wrong - I like Belly, but she just destroyed that single. > INXS+U2 collaboration-This might actually happen, because Bono and > Michael are apparently friends (from articles and pictures).

I would agree that U2 and INXS would have made a good duet... about a decade or so ago. The U2 we see know is nothing like INXS is now - no integrity. As for their sound, which is supposed to be so experimental and different now - how about the word "messy"? U2 used to produce great songs with meaning and cohesiveness. Basically they mattered. Somewhere along the line, they tripped and fell off... INXS, gladly, has not. They can experiment with their sound (WTWYA) while still refusing to forget or compromise their roots (FMDH). How about this for a duet: 1. a Tori Amos song with Michael (alone) helping out on vocals... (Guitars don't suit Tori's style well.)

Blucky blucky blucky! bite your > tongue, wash your mouth with liquid soap and get a life! Man... wake up on the wrong side of the bed, Staz? :) 1) Who cares if Trent is ugly? What does that have to do with his MUSIC? Tsk Tsk... let's not be superficial or judgemental just because someone might not appear attractive to you (Then again, there's always that Paula creature to be reckoned with.) 2) When has INXS ever been compared with NIN? This was the first time I've ever come across something as bizarre as this... 3) He jumped on the acronym band wagon? Please explain what you mean by this... All I can think of is REM. Not much of a band wagon. Of course, no one says "Rapid Eye Movements" but NIN is definitely referred to as "Nine Inch Nails." 4) Why does Trent have to have a "sexual" voice like Michael. We're talking about duets here, and each singer is supposed to bring their own style of singing to the song. Of course, if you just don't like Trent's voice in general, that's another thing entirely. Personally, I happen to love NIN, or haven't you all guessed? Also, about all of those R&B people you mentioned - Aretha, Commitments, etc... No no no. Not that I'm opposed to any of them, but the result would be like Please (You've Got that...) which is just bad. Sure INXS has been INFLUENCED by R&B sounds, but they in and of themselves are not an R&B band. (And thank god at that.)

Comparing INXS and NIN is total blasphemy. Besides, Trent Rezner SCARES me. I love horror movies, and that guy STILL scares me. How about a duet with Alanis Morrissette?

Dont flame me for this, but there are some INXS songs that I got sick of when they were on the charts (the album KICK in general), but take a break from it and then listen to it, renewed enjoyment as far as I am concerned.

Well, he's definitely achieved a very very very strong following (me included), so I think he's got staying power. He's also had 3 albums, and is just getting more and more well-known.

A $45 value, so eat your hearts out.

You like Alanis but not Underneath the Colours? I'm not quite sure how if I should proceed... I love UTC - "Stay Young" has always been one of my favorites (a perennial Top 10 for me), while I've always considered "Horizons" to be such a beautiful song, though it definitely seems dated these days. Well, I have no point really except to say that we are all INXS fan(atic)s on this list, and I'm sure everyone loves one album a lot, and dislikes another, so when you go to bash one album, it is important to keep this in mind.

I think this is one of the strong points of INXS and one of the reasons that they are one of my favorite bands in the whole wide world. How boring would it be if they never changed styles, experiment with new sounds, or improve and grow at all? Pretty bad, I think. This is the difference between legends and the non-legends, IMHO. There's songs from every INXS album that I love (On A Bus, In Vain, Just Keep Walking, you get the idea) and then songs that I don't care for at all (Baby Don't Cry, Beautiful Girl, etc.). I've really enjoyed seeing the list so active and everyone participating! It's fabulous!

Susan Sarandon is not, and should not be embarrassed about this picture. That's what's cool about her. She ran around in a bra and slip, singing "Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a me, I wanna be dirty" and slept with a "Franken-Man", and now she's this incredible actress and she views it all as okay, even good.

And as far as the Middle Beast is concerned, I think you'll find that it's something about the (beasty) Middle East??? - that's certainly a guess!!! And talking about merchandise, well, I think I have about 15 - 20 posters, etc, but we don't really have a problem over here - perhaps you guys could contact an Oz/import shop or something - (is this a stupid idea??? again - forgive if this has been discussed a 1000 times!!!).

In fact, I've listened to it quite a lot in the past few days because it seems to fit with what I need. I don't count it as a bad song, just something that needs the right conditions - Viking Juice is the same for me. I love the song but when it ends, I feel rather empty.

Dik Evans is the brother of Dave Evans, guitarist for U2, better known as the Edge. Friday and Bono have done some work together like In The Name Of The Father soundtrack. Friday has three solo albums I believe the lates being Shag Tobacco, should be out inb the US in January. He's done numerous other projects as well.

A friend saw some strange, fairly violent film-noir (perhaps foreign, art house flick) about 2 years ago that listed INXS in the song credits. Had the words "Savage" or "Naked" or something similar in the title. Any guesses? She thought it was very dark and depressing. Came and went quickly. Thanks!! Please post any observations to the list or e-mail directly to: in2xs@inxs.com ????

I didn't post this yet. Want your feedback. Could be fun if we keep it on-going so everyone has a chance to participate. Today I did not get anything done on Paul's project. I hate myself.

I haven't written anything for awhile (sucks to get a virus and delete your whole hard drive!). So, I am back (oh, great). Anyway, I think it is very interesting to see all of the least favorites, and some of them are others top favorites. I love Men and Women, Heaven Sent, Viking Juice, and I can stand some of the others listed, but they are not my least favorites, by far (well, I'll put in with Neil, Please. . . gets on my nerves). I heard that Ray was originally going to do Make Your Peace, but he didn't think it would of worked, I think he was high or something. I would of liked that alot. Moving along, my least fav.'s would have to be: Tiny Daggers On My Way Bitting Bullets (I think that is the title) Baby Don't Cry Kill the Pain, is nothing special Please..., is also nothing special But I love all of there stuff, and if they didn't try anything else, they would get pretty boring like any other band would.

Take care of yourselves all of you, and be careful! In addition, I want to thank all of you (and especially Jason, our quiet but steadfast moderator) for everything over the past 3+ years. It's been the strangest party, hasn't it? I'll continue to be on the list and maintain the web site for the next few months, but with limited access for the immediate future, I probably won't be posting directly to the list unless it is absolutely necessary. Good news, though. I've been accepted to medical school and will have a new email account in August of 1996 which will last me for years and years to come after that. So, that's the way things are here. Once again, thanks everyone for making this List, for making the Internet in general, so enjoyable for me over the past several years. It's going to be very hard not getting to turn on my computer every day and read all of the wonderful INXS related messages!

MV800421 Starring Aidan Quinn and Darryl Hannah Director: James Foley Written By: Chris Columbus "Tracey (Darryl Hannah) and Johnny's (Aidan Quinn) furious desire blends with the frenzied rhythm of new wave music to create a powerful movie of young love---on the run and daring to break free." ____________________ Ok, the quote is from the video box. This is a full-length feature film that was in theaters. It's one of my favorite movies, even if it is cheesy in some places. You might as well know now that practically the entire Shabooh Shobah album is used on the soundtrack. I almost died the first time I saw the movie because INXS keeps popping up over and over again, sometimes quite loud and not just background music. I haven't watched the movie for quite a while, but the songs I remember appearing in this film are: Here Comes, To Look At You, Soul Mistake, but I'm sure there are a few more. Check out the local video rental store since they always seem to have a copy on hand to rent.

It's about time you made your way back (oh yeah, BTW - hi everyone, you'll be so happy to know that I've returned from my 9 day home excursion and am back to annoy all of you) Hmmm, ditto on Baby, I wouldn't say Biting is a least fav just not as fav, and I concur on Tiny Daggers. But, yet again, I'm defending Please. (sue me, I like R&B) And, since I can't seem to remember anything I said before I left (parental mind erasers) and I can't seem to remember if I post something to the list, the newsgroup or the board (god, do I need a life) I'll just add a thumbs down for Barbarian unless we're speaking about the drum line which kicks. (have I said this before? too bad read it again) Nuff for now. Staz Joel, did you get the message about access to the newsgroup?

I'll steal an idea from Kelland - thank you Kell - everyone can come up with one New Year's resolution for either the band or your Favorite member. Since I've put the idea forth (and Kell already has an entire list where she can pick just one from) I'll take the easy one - I resolve for the band to get back in the studio as soon as possible and put out that new album!
