I for one will try and stay quiet, but if June 1997 rolls around and the world still doesn't know INXS has a new album, you can bet we won't be silent for long. 1996 was such an awful year for music. Everyone agrees to this. So the growing perception is that it's up the the 80's bands to save the industry. Let's all be their to support Duran Duran, INXS, U2, and Depeche Mode, who all have new albums in the first half of 1997.

Michael has been in Northern Queensland with Paula and all their swag of children since last Sunday. They have been staying at the luxurious Magnetic Island resort. They left last night however. A couple of magazines have mentioned INXS lately when predicting 1997. Molly Meldrum's column in TV Week had a picture of Michael and the following info:(but Molly gets it wrong once again!) INXS gave us a taste of their new album at the 1996 ARIA Awards when they played Searching, which will be the album's first single in February. The track shows a soulful side to the band, even though they made the album with producer Bruce Fairbairn, best known for his hard rock work with such bands as Bon Jovi and Aerosmith. Then he said the U2 album is called 'Expect Nothing...But the Best' which I thought was a bit like Welcome's... bit wordy title but I've heard else where it's called 'POP', Molly always gets things wrong, he called 'New Sensation', 'Sweet Sensation' once! The other article predicting what will happen in 1997 you don't want to know about! - "INXS will release an album. No one will notice." That was the whole paragraph!, it really stood out. This was in 'The Age' newspapers Entertainment Guide. Also a Jimmy Barnes concert was broadcast on New Years Eve, he played 'Good Times' I've been told with Diesel taking Michael's lyrics. There's also a video of the Jimmy Barnes 'Hits' album which features the 'Good Times' video with INXS - some of you might not have this clip because it's not present on any INXS' videos. Just a bit of trivial info. if any of you happen to be watching the Australian Open Tennis Grand Slam in a few days time, the centre court is the venue where INXS performed it's Melbourne shows in 1988 & 1991. Matthew.

Philip this is for Dana and all on the list: Can you please try and get the word to the band to reconsider the title of the album? To the masses, ELEGANTLY WASTED will give the impression of an aging band trying to be cool for a Generation X world. Even if the meaning of the term is something completely different of its connotation, the masses/radio programmers won't pay attention long enough to find out what that is. They will write them off and it will be over. Maybe in '87, but in '97 I N X S can't afford to take this risk. I'm fired up for the album and if it's as great as the rumors say I'll be so happy. But if it's as great as the rumors say and nobody buys it, I'll be haunted indefinitely. The music world needs more than a great album. We need a great album handled right so the masses get to hear it, and buy it. Pengilly said they wanted stadiums. It sounds like the hard part (coming up with more great, hittable songs) is over. So please let's not allow this great work to come up short of it's potential.

INXS should be releasing their new album in the first few months of this year, and I cannot wait, I reckon it'll be a ripper, placing them back on track. At last." Matthew.

It's all pretty much old news now, but pretty interesting anyway. Vintage INXS can be heard from upstairs. Record company promo people hand out a cardboard folder, telling the bands history from day one. Inside photographers jostle for prime position, while the much more lethargic profession of journalism seats itself in rows of chairs. So and so from channel 10 is here, and over there is that guy from Red T.V. A request is made that all mobile phones be switched off and our host enters, it is none other than Richard Wilkins himself, looking very dapper these days with more black and less hair spray. The scene is set. Enter INXS, it's been three years since they globetrotted as a band, so there is much to find out. Where have they been ? What have they been doing ? Who's shagging whom, and so on. Michael Hutchence has long hair again and chain smokes. Kirk Pengilly is still the quirky, quiet one and the brothers Farriss, remain the backbone of the band. Here's the dirt. Q. Michael, were you hurt or amused by Noel Gallagher's comments at the Britpop awards ? M.H. "Noel is basically the football hooligan of rock'n'roll. It was kind of funny. I liked it in a way." Q. Is Noel Gallagher the next Lennon ? M.H. "I don't know, you'd have to ask him" Q. Have your battles with the English tabloids settled down ? M.H. "Not really. You work for 20 years and some jerk comes along and makes $20,000 off you in one weekend. They drive around in Mercedes and stay at the Regent, and then say to you 'come on guy, it's a livin'" Q. Are you still trying to cling to the fame you had in the 80's ? When are you going to turn into a cabaret act ? What do you say to those who say you've had it ? Unanimously from the band - "Fuck Off" Q. Why did you come back ? T.F. "We came back because we had great songs and were ready for it". Q. What does the new album sound like ? T.F. "There's a lot of urgency in it. It's fresher than a lot of music that's around at the moment. 'Searching' is not what you'd expect. It's a really good song, but it's not indicative of the album". Q. After such a long break, was it hard to come back together ? G.B. "We were all expecting it to be a little harder than it was, but I guess we've all grown up together and learnt to play our instruments together, and it's just the natural thing". Matthew.

If this at all bothers you (and it should), PLEASE send them a letter by going to the following URL: http://www.addict.com/issues/3.01/html/lofi/Station_To_Station/ I hope you'll agree, they're beginning to get a little too obnoxious for their own good... Addicted To Noise staff writer Gil Kaufman reports: One trend well underway is the techno-rock connection, which many are touting as the NEXT BIG THING. Noel Gallagher and the Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy and Kula Shaker's Crispian Mills, U2 and Howie B., The Orb and Primal Scream, to name just a few. Which got us to thinking, when is a good idea not a good idea? So, with a little help from Idaho guitarist Dan Seta (who assures us that Idaho's next EP, due in mid-'97 on Chicago's Buzz Records, will not be techno, but will have "lots of weird noises"), we compiled a list of old and new artists who should just stick to the rock thing and leave the beats to the boys and girls in floppy sweatshirts. Techno No-Nos: Neville Brothers/Los Lobos (the only thing neither have tried yet) Tom Waits ( Bone Machine not withstanding) Matthew Sweet Aerosmith (for obvious reasons) Gin Blossoms (although we wouldn't mind if they just disappeared altogether) Johnny Cash (don't even think about it, Rick) Paul Weller (best not to press your luck, Paul) Rage Against the Machine (water and fire don't mix) Tracy Chapman (see Weller, Paul) Nancy Griffith ('nuff said) Elvis Costello (where do we start?) Afghan Whigs ("who wants to see Dulli in bicycle shorts?") INXS (See Blossoms, Gin) Bob Dylan (it ain't me, babe) Morrissey (what's the sound of two depressives raving?) Urge Overkill (haven't we suffered enough already?) They go on and on... I won't bore you.

Unfortunately, I will have to rely on you all to do it because our record stores here don't stock much other than country music. I can safely say that our stores will not even stock the new album until late summer, unless I order it and then it still takes forever. Fortunately, I have a friend in Calgary, AB who gets the albums for me and sends them out right away cause he feels sorry for me. But I can promise that if our stores ever get it in, I will be sneaking it to the front at every opportunity.

Just last Tuesday I was in a store which had the their 'I' section spread out on a stand across ways, instead of the CD's behind each other, I had the whole INXS back-catalogue all lined up next to each other, I guess the staff probably changed them back or other customers mess them up, but I always do this be it with INXS videos, t-shirts etc. It's not really messing up the store as long as you keep the CD's under the letter 'I'.

I remember that Bon Jovi specifically asked their fans to fill out a little survey on how their local stores were displaying their stuff and report back. Wow, it's so good to know that I'm not the only one who gravitates naturally to the I section in every record store. I always feel sad for any INXS type items if I find them in the market down area. I have given a couple of MaxQ cassettes a new home that way. I figure that they should be in the hands of somebody who loves them instead of sitting sadly on the market down shelf. And, you can never have too many copies of any INXS or related material. Kell _______________________________________________________ We all have wings, Some of us don't know why. M.

Ahh, but Mercury can not be everywhere. Maybe they can influence Tower Records or some of the larger chains, but what about the smaller record stores. The record store I shop in is not part of a huge chain. They have one section where everyweek the store employees but their favorite cd of the week.

This kind of consumer requesting really influences buying decisions at retail stores. As for moving the CDs to front racks, here's how that works. In the retail chains, endcaps (the spots on the ends of bins), front racks and showcase racks are bought and paid for by the record companies. So, for example, if you walk into a store and see a No Doubt display at the end of a bin, Interscope has paid a certain amount of money for that display. What Interscope gets is the prominent display, a sale price and a guaranteed order from the retail chain for a certain number of units of that album. Each company has representatives that go to record stores to check on these displays, set them up if need be (most chains do it themselves), put up posters on the walls and check inventory and pricing. I did this job myself for a few months. The thing is - there are way too many stores to be covered, so some stores never get visited or get visited rarely. So, if you feel like helping out and moving some CDs, I say go for it. The worst thing that can happen is that the store employees get pissed off because they have to keep moving them back. The best thing is, of course, that more people will see them and then buy them! FYI - our sales staff will start to sell the INXS album to retail buyers sometime in March, so if you start calling in late February and asking about it, maybe that information will be relayed to the buyers...

The clerk noticed my purchase and commented on how much he loved INXS and exclaimed, "It's too bad they're not around anymore. They were such a great band." I immediately responded, "What do you mean, WERE? They're still together and have a new release coming in April!!!" A couple of other employees and people standing in line had overheard, and we began a discussion about why no one thinks they're still together. Their reasons were: 1.) No release in over 3 years. (One person hadn't heard anything after "X"). 2.) Michael's solo projects. 3.) Those who did hear FMDH didn't care much for it. 4.) Some still think of them as an 80's band. (esp. because "Need You Tonight" keeps popping up on all of those "Songs of the 80's" commercials) Of course, this is not the first time someone has asked me if they are still together. The good news: They were all very excited about the idea of a new release. Well, I guess I've officially started my personal promo campaign.

That's okay, mate. :) The song "Doctor" is from the debut album, entitled easily enough "INXS". Actually "Doctor" is one my favourites.

The video for the track "Elegantly Wasted" was directed over two days by Walter Stern who is best known for directing all the recent fantastic videos by UK act The Prodigy. The band also spent three days shooting photographs for their album and singles artwork. The band, who are dressed in various roles such as a policeman, delivery man and taxi driver in their own very bizarre world, just about escaped untouched from one location in east Los Angeles where they received a lot of attention from local people. After this, they spent two days in the desert where at one point the dust got so bad that the photographer could not see any of them. Congratulations to band member Garry Gary Beers who just had a baby girl called 'Matilda' to make it three INXS babies in the last six months.

We should all be there to support that album too. We have to support the bands from the 80's and their respective comebacks. Perhaps it is these bands that can save the slumping music industry. Alternative is dead. Also Nile Rogers who produced most of Duran's songs also produced some cuts for INXS including Original Sin.

Media people really are simply doing their jobs most of the time. Of course, it's an invasion of the musician's privacy but it's something that they sign on for. Many of the more zealous ones often times step over the line but they do so because media work is highly competitive. If you knew a couple of good photos of Michael and Paula could pay your rent, etc., everything would change. It doesn't make it right or ethical but that's the way it is. I hate to say it but they are really only giving the public what it wants to hear & see. If no one reacted to Michael, he would not be in the media at all. Just look at our own mailing list. Remember the controversy over the topic of those nude pictures of Michael? Plenty of people on this list wanted to see them, privacy or no privacy. We all can appreciate the guys needing to have their own lives but it doesn't stop us from wanting to hear all the details anyway. It's a fine line between tabloid work and serious journalism too. And, unfortunately, it gives serious and more understanding journalists a bad name. Contrary to popular belief, journalists really do strive for the truth in their work. And it's hard to be original when interviewing someone who has been interviewed a 1000 times before. OK, I'm off the soapbox for now. (Sorry Michael! You know I absolutely adore you but I have to defend my career choice.)

I think it's actually a good thing that Michael still carries that kind of "star power" such that every journalist in town has to follow him around and watch what he does. Sure, it's an invasion of privacy, but as Kelly stated, photographers and journalists wouldn't bother if no one cared. And some say that, for the most part, there is no such thing as bad publicity. Keep in mind that Michael is an international rock star and really doesn't have to worry too much about his image as long as he's not arrested for murder, rape, robbery, etc. Just my two cents.

First of all, a recent issue of Music Week, which is the UK's answer to Billboard, had an INXS promo band wrapped around it. Basically, it's the photo that we read about - the band members (plus a short-skirted female model) in various costumes in the desert. It's an "action" shot of them in interesting poses with lots of smoke and dust and a couple of brightly colored cars. The logo is all capital letters, IN and S are black, the X is red and slightly larger, with a white star in between it and the N. Look for a 6 or 7 date club tour of major markets just after the album release. Also look out for a Letterman appearance around the same time. I'll keep you updated on air times for the Aspen thing. See - I told you - Mercury IS working on it... Dana PS - In response to Philip's last few posts: Is there a real reason we HAVE to "be there" for all of the other "80s bands" like Duran Duran? I like a lot of them, but I don't think that our support of INXS must necessarily translate to support of all of those bands.

The design firm that created the art is the same firm that did the Diesel clothing print ads that appeared in many magazines last year if anyone remembers seeing them. Lots of characters doing strange things, very colorful, cutting edge and hard to miss. I believe their name is Intro - from London. At the video shoot there was a "shop counter" of some kind that was still being constructed in the "lobby" of the airport that has the new logo in a backlit sign above the door. The huge promo posters have this logo with a silver metallic background and a big neon orange dotted star shape at the top. On the poster, the X is in that same neon orange with the white star in the middle. Thanks Dana for keeping us informed. Direct from the record company, couldn't ask for more!!

Diesel has really really out there ads, but artsy and weird enough to make you take notice. Of course, I don't how an artsy INXS image will come across from this design firm, but I must say, I am *quite* curious. I'm happy to see that the band is going all out, though, that's for sure! I don't think publicity for the new release will be as big a problem as we first thought. Witness the latest example. MTV OnLine had the following posted on their news headlines today: INXS Get Back To Video  Jan. 15 [16:00 EST] -- INXS have reportedly just finished work on the first video from their relatively ballyhooed comeback album, "Elegantly Wasted." To film the clip for the title track, the band got together with Walter Stern (the man behind the video for the Prodigy's "Firestarter"). The band filmed the clip over two days on location in California, and spent another three days taking care of photographs for the album's artwork. "Elegantly Wasted" will be the 11th album from INXS, and their first on Mercury Records, who will release it on April 14. In case you forgot, INXS, which formed in 1977, mixed snapping guitar riffs with infectious dance beats, and found a formula for astounding success.  The group attracted widespread attention with 1985's "Listen Like Thieves" LP, and saw their fame skyrocket with "Kick." Boasting hit singles like "Need You Tonight," "Devil Inside," and "Never Tear Us Apart," the album went on to sell nine million copies. -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- NJ Med '00 Neil's World -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list Date: 16 Jan 1997 10:56:16 -0000 X-Originating-IP: [202.229.190.121] From: "trevor grace" To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: japanese promo single auction Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: "trevor grace" Hello all.

I was not saying that you have to support Duran Duran, I am simply saying that in order for bands like INXS to survive in the 90's, the masses have to want to hear their sound and deal with their imagery. I was just saying that we should all be there to support bands that have a similar sound and image as this will inturn increase the chances of sucess by INXS. If the market is flooded by this type of sound, perhaps people will see what they are missing. Besides, I would bet that almost every fan of INXS is also a fan of Duran Duran. Same sound, same producer, same imagery. Imagine if these two bands could rule the charts together, again. Wouldn't this be glorious. It would be a monumental comeback. On a side note, I am on my college newspaper at Portland State University. I am doing a project on the state of the music industry and the large amount of 80's bands who are releasing albums in the first half of '97. I needed some info on INXS, so I called Mercury and tried to speak someone. I got shoved around to many people and not one of them was even prfessional to me. In fact the one that could have got the info for me hung up on me. All the other record labels I talked to were more than helpful, in fact most sent me demo tapes etc. But not Mercury. What they didn't realise was that I could have gotten INXS some free prmotion in a paper read by 20,000 people. I don't mean to gripe, but they're PR department really is a mess and I was slapped in the face. Dana, you did say that Mercury was behing this album in everyway. I hope your right.

Philip - If you had a problem with Mercury, you could have just called me. I would have helped you out (I still can) and directed you to the proper person. I know what you're going through because I was the music editor of my university newspaper for two years. As for my response about the 80s band thing, I didn't mean that we shouldn't support the rest of the bands, I just wanted to pose the possibility that not everyone on the list is necessarily a fan of the other 80s bands and might not want to be told that s/he should be. I think it's great that Duran is still around and releasing albums - all the power to them. Same goes for U2 and even The Fixx, who I saw in concert a couple of months ago (they were great). I don't agree that Duran and INXS had the same sound though. They may have been a mutual admiration society (I know for sure that Duran loved INXS) and they did share a producer, but I don't think they sounded alike. That was one of the great things about those two bands - they had a different sound. I also think that the 80s revival going on is a fun thing - it is, after all, the music of my youth. However, I think it's important for these bands (especially INXS, who haven't had a hit in a while) to be considered current, not "80s." That label can only hurt them when the revival is over. They need to be able to appeal to a new audience, not just the people who were fans in the 80s. At this point in time, INXS, Duran and U2 have all evolved and don't sound like they did in the 80s, nor do they sound similar to each other. What I'm trying to get across is that yes, these bands should be supported, but on their own merits, by their own fans. I don't think it's necessary to support Duran if one doesn't like the band, just because one likes INXS. Radio programmers, retail buyers, etc. aren't going to look at airplay and sales figures for Duran and say "Wow, Duran is doing well, let's play INXS." It doesn't work that way. Again, I meant no offense and I'm sorry if you took it that way.

I'm with Dana in that I don't think we should associate INXS with bands of the 80's. I'd like to think that INXS are a versatile band with a sound that, for the most part, should not be categorized in a certain time period. I think labeling INXS as an 80's band is inaccurate. People often do this because they just happened to be more commercially successful in the 80's. But I think most of us would agree that some of their best work came after 1990. (note that 5 of our top 10 favorite INXS songs in Neil's poll were released AFTER "Kick"). We all know that bad promotional backup was the reason for their lack of commercial success on their last two albums. Although I love 80's music as well, I don't think it's fair to INXS to stick them in that category. When I think of 80's music, I think of Duran Duran, Dead or Alive, Flock of Seagulls, and other bands whose music depended more on programmed drums and keyboards and lots of make-up and big hair. In other words, talent wasn't always the primary reason for their success. I would like to think that INXS has made a name for themselves because of their songwriting and performing talent. Lots of artists share producers, and even songwriters. A good example would be Aerosmith and Alanis Morrisette. They both used Glen Ballard as co-writers and producers on their albums. I don't think we would necessarily associate the two as a result.

Of course, you could take the easy way out and get The Greatest Hits, and go from there.

Alright, I for one don't think of INXS an "80s band," but the group's main commercial success did come in that decade. I only mention that to protest your going off on so-called 80s band like Dead or Alive. DOA had commercial success in the 80s, but they're still around today, and still making great music.

I would have to agree with NEil that WTWYA is awesome. but I also like FMDH too. as far as mainstream stuff, Kick is their best. but that's a really poppy album. off the mainstream, I think WTWYA and FMDH would have to be their best. course just is just my humble opinion. BTW, totally off the subject. I'm taking a class about the 60s in the US. and I'm just curious as to how many people out there on this list, think that the deaths of JFK, MLK Jr, and Malcolm X, were all part of a conspiracy by the government. anyone out there think that?

INXS is considered a 80's band not because of their comercial sucess in that decade but because their image and sound were the kind of things coming from that decade. They are a clean cut band with a rock-pop sound similar to Huey Lewis and the News. This type of band just doesn't exist in the 90's hence the title 80's band. The proof is the end result when the band tried to shelve this image and sound with FMDH. The masses laughed at a band being fake and they ignored the album. Along this line, you say the last two INXS albums only failed because of lack of promotion. This is simply not true. Look at WTWYA. I know everyone loves it, but in reality their is no true hittable songs. Sales depend on the sucess of hit singles and this album just didn't have what radio would call a hit. FMDH is even worse along those same lines. I think I speak for the majority when I say that that album just lacked any really strong songs, let alone any that would be hits. As fans we can like an album for whatever reason, but the mainstream has to have a reason to buy it. That reason is hits. X was an ok album, but sold well because Suicide Blonde and Dissapear are absolute dreams. Finally, you seem to say that 80's band were more concerned with image than talent. No. Once again I refer to Duran Duran. You seem to write them off, but they had four huge albums with 10 top ten hits. Most critics agree that The Reflex is the best dance song of the decade. As far as songwrites, Duran wrote every one of their songs by themself as did Depche Mode. These are all songs we all loved growing up. This is not talent? As far as drums and programming, as if INXS never used this process. Come on, look at every song on Kick. By the way Duran accomplished something that INXS has yet to do. They had a huge comeback in 1993 right in the middle of the peak of alternative movement. Still think they just have big hair and no talent. 1997 is going to be very interesting.

(Although Philip was a bit less DEFENSIVE): Perhaps I should clarify (and this time I won't be so sarcastic): I agree that INXS has an 80's image. I would just prefer not to associate them with that image since there is a critical stigma against the artistic credibility of so-called "80's music". I am not belittling the talent of any 80's bands (including bands who primarily used programmed keyboards/drums). You have to agree that when most people think of 80's music, they usually think of all of those video-bands who thrived on MTV. It's unfortunate for these artists, but many of them will always be known for image rather than substance. DOA is more known for it's flamboyant lead singer, Culture Club for Boy George's gender-bending looks, Adam Ant for his wild make-up and outfits. I think all of these artists were very talented, but they will forever be known for their 80's pop-video image. If any of you still think these artists can be taken seriously today, then you're living in a vacuum. I'm not saying it's correct, but unfortunately there exists a perception out there which supports my theories on these bands prior successes. Even MTV came out with an "It came from the 80's" episode featuring such "has been" artists. I don't think that program was fair to these artists, but this is the image that new fans will get of these people. I just don't want people to think "Oh you remember those bands? Thompson Twins, Kajagoogoo, Madness, INXS?" As Dana stated, INXS' sound has changed dramatically since then. Most people probably wouldn't recognize them now. I think the fact that they can change their sound (and hopefully, image) so dramatically is an asset that a lot of bands of that era just don't have. For the third time, this is NOT a criticism of 80's bands. I am just pointing out that I feel INXS stands above the categorization of that era.

I don't think WTWYA was promoted that well, and I think there are many more "hit" worthy songs on the album then even X. I don't think I need to go song by song, but "Not Enough Time", "Communication", etc. all are quite worthy of being as big as "Disappear" or "Bitter Tears" ever was. As for FMDH, though it's not a personal favorite, there are songs on there that could have scored as hits. "Cut Your Roses Down" and "Full Moon, Dirty Hearts" (with Chrissie Hyndes) were both potential singles, IMO. I thought they made a HUGE (HUGE HUGE HUGE) mistake in releasing Please, which is just horrid. "Time" was also a mistake, because it sounded too much like earlier mainstream INXS hits. > Most > critics agree that The Reflex is the best dance song of the decade.

In Basil's post he lumped them in with Dead Or Alive and Flock Of Seagulls as a band that relied on programmed drum tracks & keyboards for their sound and were too busy thinking about the make-up and the look of the band to worry about talent. Duran Duran should not be lumped into this category and you do them a disservice to do so.......Duran Duran have always employed a live drummer (first in original member Roger Taylor, and then later in Steve Ferrone, Terry Bozio, Sterling Campbell, and Steve Alexander to name a few). I'm not saying they've never used a drum machine at all in their music, but it is not how they get their primary drum sound. Sure, Duran uses a lot of keyboards and keyboard programming, but it is done to fit the song and compliment the other instruments like drums, bass, and guitar not to provide the entire sound track. And early in their career, Duran Duran were blamed for trying to be "pretty" and having no talent, etc. Well, a band can't be together making music for 17 years if they have no talent or interest in the music. At least I didn't have to go through the lack of respect thing with INXS even though they present just as good a package -- great music, great production on the albums, great promotion, great live show, great videos. This is why Duran Duran and INXS are my two most favorite bands in the whole wide world --- they are both made up of excellent musicians who care about the product they produce and give their fans a complete package: music and visual (whether it be videos, live shows, or promotion). Ok, back to our regularly scheduled program (which is chat about INXS)!!

I met an inxs fan in line at an ATM yesterday. My friend and I were chanting the Doctor chorus (it is too addicting) when the woman in front of us said, "inxs!" Needless to say it was a weird experience for both of us. Usually I live a life of solitude as an inxs fan here. That was enough to make my evening. That and the People vs. Larry Flynt, but that is another story. Then today I finally decided to complete my inxs CD collection and buy Underneath the Colours. But nine record stores later no one had it. I found every other inxs album, all of which I already had. So I ended up with another Violent Femmes album, but that isn't what I came here to tell you about. When I was at one of the stores they had a sign of upcoming releases and inxs was on it. It was great to look up and see an advertisement announcing the release of the new inxs album. They said it was coming out on the 18th of March which confused me because I thought it was on the 15th of April. Maybe they meant the single, or maybe they were just confused. But none the less, they were excited about the new album, as was I. And in the end I didn't feel so bad about not getting Underneath the Colours because I had two happy inxs oddities in two days.

Look at their SOUND. They are compared because they are the two bands that most closely mix great rock and roll with a little synth dance thrown in. Look at songs like Heart and Soul. It is a close rocker to What You Need. If you don't believe me, take a listen to both bands greatest hits. You'll swear the songs sound similar. Another thing..INXS not a clean cut band in the US? Come on. During the KICK period, they were on the cover of every teeny bop magizine in the country. They sybolized everything that was the eighties-clean image, and synth-dance driven rock. Even during The one thing, they were still a clean cut band. Everyone in the band had fairly short hair and none of them had any facial hair. This clean image is one of the reasons they had troubles in the early nineties, when people were tired of that look.

It seems to be generally accepted as an amazing song by anyone who hears it, I find. If it's an INXS song people want to hear, it's often New Sensation or Beautiful Girl (at least here in Canada). I really like the intro for the video too, with the majestic ambience of Prague sending chills up the spine. I particularly enjoyed the tales of how the video was filmed on the Greatest Hits compilation.

I hardly think the band that brought us "Hip to Be Square" could even be put on the same playing field as INXS. Maybe things are different in your town, but most people around here consider Huey Lewis to be somewhat of a cornball band. Sure, some of their songs were kind of catchy, but they lacked the creativity and innovation of a band like INXS. Could you ever picture Huey recording a song like "The Gift" or "Taste It"? I really doubt it. Personally, I rank INXS up there with U2. I may be biased, but if you want to draw parallels, these are two bands who have had many similarities and thrive on experimental sounds. I don't think a comparison should be made just because some of the band members had similar hairstyles. All you need to do is look at the two lead singers, what a difference! I have never in my entire life heard anyone compare these two bands. I also think that the critics would agree.... From: Philip Abraham on Mon, Jan 20, 1997 2:12 AM Subject: Re: Huey Lewis?!

I don't think either of their last two albums (ESPECIALLY WTWYA) lacked strong singles. They were both backed up by poorly promoted tours in small clubs. Although it was great to see INXS in an intimate setting, this may have been a commercial mistake. And I don't remember any masses laughing. Sadly, there were no massive reactions to either album. But as I said, there were no massive promotions either. One thing bothers me a great deal. Neil, you said "Please.." was a horrible song. I completely disagree. I think it's one of the stronger songs on the album. Whenever I play FMDH to people who have never heard it, they almost always sing along with that song! Even my brother, who is a lifetime musician and not very fond of INXS, loves it. How could you not love the crunching guitars and impassioned melody?

X-Confirm-Reading-To: mbalink@imt.nl X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: "Martijn Balink" Just a little thought of me considering the Huey Lewis thing... I happen to be some sort of a fan of Huey Lewis. In fact, my first live-concert ever was a Huey Lewis show (I've seen INXS-shows as well :-)). I find it hard as well to compare Huey Lewis to INXS. Of course the instrumental line-up is the same (two guitars (with one guitarist playing the sax...), bass, drums, keyboard and a singer), but I think that's all... Of course they both produced hits in the mid 80's, but a lot of other bands did that as well. With a lot of fantasy, I'm able to make a link between songs like Heart&Soul to What you need. But after that, the two bands went opposite ways. Take a listen to Huey's later albums, Small World and Hard at play. Those albums are a lot more into (I don't know another word for this) jazz, good old blues and that sort of music (with lots of catchy horn-riffs), while INXS has become more powerful, with more guitars (songs like The Gift are a good example of this). Therefor, I have less difficulties comparing INXS to bands like U2. Especcialy the last Huey Lewis album (4 chords and several years ago) is, as the name indicates, an album filled with blues and rock 'n' roll oldies. Huey's quite different from INXS, but I like them both! Martijn +-----------------+-------------+ | Martijn Balink | What You /N | | MBalink@IMT.NL | Need...

I, personally, would have liked the video for maybe a darker song. I would expect the New Sensation video to be bigger and brighter, with more edited shots. But that's just me.

Each album, for the most part, has its own distinct sound. Once you've decided which sound you prefer, it should be easy to narrow it down by album. WARNING: You are likely to enjoy every song, so take your time! Keep in mind that the "Greatest Hits" album, at least in the U.S., contains nothing from their first two albums, but since they are not very indicative of most INXS works, you should be OK.

I agree with you, Neil, but I don't think that Time release was a mistake at all. The album is nice, has good sound, a strong title (that attact the people's attention - I saw a friend of mine bought the album because of the title), a nice cover picture, but it had a wrong release strategy. Please is not too horrid but I agree that is not a "promotional music". Remember the "dinosaur video clip" for it? I think it is a bad joke. About Time, I think it could be on radio, but like an last release. The "ideal" order for 3 radio songs (in my opinion) is: 1-Full Moon, Dirty Hearts. 2- The Messenger (or I'm Only Looking). 3 - Time. So, I hope that in EW's release, that mistakes won't repeat. Mercury could see on Alanis Morissette a example. She makes a MTV hit (Hand in my Pocket), than, she makes a radio hit (You Oughta Know). If we make an analysis, we'll see that Hand in my Pocket is an "adult" music, while You Oughta Know is a "Teen" hit. Then, in theory, it makes everybody, young or older, bought the album. So, we can deduce that if EW get the same success in MTV and in the radio, certainly people will make it disappear (it reminds me something...) from the stores. ---- Happiness is NOT a illusion. ---- Peace. ---- From Brazil to World... ---- Danilo Meira --- Happiness is NOT a illusion. --- Peace. --- Danilo Meira X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list Date: 21 Jan 1997 09:05:09 -0600 From: "Diab-ABD015 Basil" Subject: FW: ABSENCE OF INXS To: "INXS LIST" Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: "Diab-ABD015 Basil" Just thought you guys would like to know that it helps to write letters.

Your issue was a big topic of discussion last year when the album name first surfaced. Some people share your opinion, but others disagreed. Maybe now would a good time to re-open this discussion since the album is coming soon: In my opinion, the album title isn't going to make a huge difference. This album will depend mainly on the music and good promotion. It can be interpreted as controversial, but I think that there have been far bigger controversies out there than this one. Besides, sometimes controversy, especially in pop music, can be beneficial. Just ask Madonna, Oasis, Sheryl Crow, Prince, Nirvana, etc. Basil X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list X-SnapMAIL: 2.0.2 Date: Wed, 22 Jan 97 00:15:45 -0800 From: garth@robleymarketing.com To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Organization: Robley Marketing X-HoloGate: 1.1.7 Lines: 1106 Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: garth@robleymarketing.com As far as Philip comparing I N X S to Huey he isn't amazingly far off.

It's not so much hating the comparison of INXS to a has been cheesy 80's rock band (which Huey is), it's just the strong opinion that the two bands don't sound the least bit alike, nor have they ever possessed a similar image. I don't think very many people consider INXS to be cheesy. I don't think a cheesy 80's band could sell out Wembley Stadium as recently as 1991. And I don't think anyone has ever pictured Huey as a stylish international sex symbol a la Michael (you certainly don't see photographers following Huey around). Do you think they could ever record songs that come close to the creative melodies and lyrics of X or WTWYA? I could go on forever with the contrasts. Once again, I strongly feel that INXS' lack of success in the 90's has more to do with bad promotion than anything else. At least we know that there is a possiblity that INXS can succeed in the 90's. Huey Lewis and the News (a cheesy name, come to think of it), are gone forever.

The music media now knows all about the new release, and little snippets on the upcoming LP are popping up all over. NO WHERE does anyone say anything negative (or positive for that matter) about the title. I think most people in the music industry are adopting a wait-and-see approach with respect to the album. Of course if the LP extolls the virtues of drugs/etc., the media will shred the band -- so it's obviously not about how cool it is to do drugs. I think we should all just wait till we can see what the lyrics to "Elegantly Wasted" are before we criticize the band's decision. As for the "don't say you're cool, just be cool" remark, I think INXS has more than proved their cool factor over the years (witness the brilliance of WTWYA that only the so-called "underground" knew about.) If you want to talk about bands trying desperately to be cool.... I should point you toward U2.

New Sensation would have to be one on my all time favourites. I love the film clip, the music, lyrics - everything. This is an excellent song to dance to - live, at a niteclub, at home, in fact anywhere. I also think that the 12" remix is the best remix of any INXS song (with Suicide Blonde a close second).

I mention this only because of the planned VH1 broadcast of the February INXS performance in Aspen. TCI subscribers in suburban Chicago (we're talking hundreds of thousands) no longer have VH1 and will be unable to watch the performance. If you are affected by this, I urge you to contact the TCI office in your area and file a complaint. They are already reacting to the backlash from viewers as well as artists. Even if you don't have TCI service, you should still file a complaint to let them know how unfair this is. There is a comprehensive list of affected TCI markets with contact numbers on the VH1 website (www.VH1.com). Any help from you guys would be appreciated.

And nothing ever will be because mainly the press rightly wouldn't care, and secondly people don't immediately know what's wrong with the title. It's more of a bad feeling they get, and it's a subconscious thing for most people. Unless a title is so obviously wrong (like Bryan Adams "18 'Til I Die") most won't notice consciously what's rubbing them the wrong way. So we're stuck with ELEGANTLY MISTAKEN. Does anyone roll with my suggestion for the title- THE LOCKED ROOM - alluding to Michael and Andrew in the room together writing the songs that will make or break I N X S. Whoever Neil is, I'll deal the U2 issue. Send me an E-mail and I'll reply. As far as I N X S cool factor, they always have been cool without looking like they're trying too hard. Until now, this title sounds like they're trying. Huey is a long way away from I N X S, but also close. He had some great rock melodies but unlike I N X S, no innovation or style. Can anybody beat NEW SENSATION for best dance song of the '80s? Did anybody notice those lyric samples from Dana from the new album didn't seem that great?

I also agree with him that it could backfire, though. It might make some people think the band's new album wasn't all that gfreat, so they've decided to market it with some older work they're more pleased with. (Not that I'd think that about INXS, but the uninitiated might.) I would love the opportunity to introduce some newer fans to the older albums. Perhaps they could occassionally release an old single, say, "The One Thing" or "Love Is (What I Say)," as a b-side on a new single? I think that would be really cool, especially if they actually rerecorded the song, rather than just slapped the album version of an old song on a new single.

As it turns out, we here in the Bay Area are facing the same situation. Even though San Francisco itself (until March at least) is unaffected, the major surrounding cable TV markets in the Bay Area have already changed programming and they all lost VH-1 (we're talking up to 3 million subscribers already compared to the "measley" less than a million in The City itself). Will we be able to view INXS' accoustic debut on VH-!????? Fat chance (as long as it's broadcast before March). It's a total outrage and local people are losing their cool over this. We here in SF stand to lose not only VH-1, but Comedy Central as well. In it's place would be innocuous programming like "Awesome Interiors", "Simply Quilts" and "Animal Planet" (you guessed it: "home sweet home improvement" etc.. shows). TCI would become a suspicious outlet for media baron Rupert Murdock and their wholesale conservative political agenda. I'm competely pissed about this and am fighting it tooth and nail. It's not that "I want my MTV", it's that I want some kind of music video station that I can tune into to and see my favorite performers without having to buy a satellite dish (but I will if we lose the programming we have had for many years now). The cities' supervisors vote on this issue came up today, and I'll be interested to see what happens. Granted, this isn't necessarily an INXS post, yet by default it could be! All TCI (or former Viacom) subscibers............. REVOLT!!!! Cable TV anarchy reigns!........ Mary PS. For those fans planning to make the trek to Aspen on Feb. 4 for the accoustic show, the performance is at the Wheeler Opera House (address unknown). Wish I could offer tickets or SOMETHING, ANYTHING to those who are resourceful enough to make the journey. However, neither the band nor their management have made any provisions for any of us to attend (through "the fan club" or internet mailing list, anyway). If you decide to wing it and go, please tell us all about it! Too bad I couldn't make it easier for those willing to make the journey. Maybe it's for industry people only, who knows?

I also thought of the Stones, but who cares? I think it's a pretty clever title -- thank god they're not being PC! As I said yesterday, I think we should all wait until we see the lyrics to EW before criticism can be made. As far as we know, the song EW could be a parody of those into drugs to look cool. I dunno, I'm just saying give the band a break, will ya? I'm pretty tired of everyone being so negative about the new release -- I for one wouldn't care if they called the album "Sex" as long as the music and lyrics are as good as I expect from my favorite band.

Are you an INXS fan, or a secret plant from Oasis trying to denigrate the new album out of fear of Oasis' #1 position in Britain? :) In all seriousness, though, PLEASE just wait till the album comes out before ripping it apart. The only song I think we can all rightfully discuss is Searching (because we've all heard it). It's interesting -- I wasn't ecstatic about Searching the first few times I heard it, to be honest. So I stopped listening to it for several months. Lately, though, I've been playing it with some frequency, and I must say, it *really* grows on you. It's a lovely song!

I think this is alright, but by no means should old singles take the place of NEW (ahem INXS) BSIDES!!!!!! On the FMDH singles, they threw on lots of classic old singles, but only had TWO MEASLY Bsides, Sing Something and Born To Be Wild... Which I should remind you all, wasn't even an original Bside for FMDH! (Their rendition originally appeared on the "Reckless Kelly" soundtrack.)

Does anyone know when VH1 is scheduled to show this? Will it be shown on or around the day it is taped, or is it going to be one of those things that sits around for a couple of months???? I'm in Chicago, and I have TCI cable service. I know that I'm still seeing Comedy Central programming on VH-1, but I don't know about VH-1 programming. Hopefully, TCI won't drop VH-1 in Chicago. If they do, PLEASE let it be after the Aspen gig is shown. BTW, talk about coincidence. Yesterday was Michael's birthday, and I get home from work, and what's in my mailbox?

It's funny though, that this ever happened at all. If VH-1 would get over their ABBA/'70s retro fascination, this would've never happened. I had VH-1 last year and seriously went close to 3 or 4 months when every time I flipped through VH-1 it was some dumbF fashion thing/sex thing or '70s tribute on. So I'm glad VH-1 is back, but it's their own fault they got launched. So we're being too negative on here? I don't think so, I N X S is a good enough band that their fans can afford to think about them critically. And as I'm sure this album will be good, and us fans wil all like it, but aren't we interested in getting that I N X S (positive) vibe back to the rest of the world? If we are, then we have to think critically about what goes on with this album. Good insight on the Keith Richards thought by Patty Wyatt.

The title "Kick" never really grabbed me as a stunning album title, nor did "The Swing" and what the hell does "Shabooh Shoobah" mean anyway (even though I love this title). Three great albums. All did very well. On another side of things. I was talking to a mate of mine the other day (he's a huge INXS fan) about the new album, when it was coming out etc... and another mate overheard us talking about the album title. Now he wasn't an INXS fan but loved the title, and his interest was sparked because of the title. So maybe its not so bad. Craig.

I have to take exception to the Max Q part, but I guess it never says it was bad, only that it didn't sell well, which I guess is true. >From Addicted To Noise, the on-line rock & roll magazine - http://www.addict.com/ Today is the birthday of INXS vocalist Michael Hutchence, who was born in 1960 in Sydney, Australia. During its heyday in the 1980s, INXS became one of the first bands to combine rock sounds and hip-hop beats with jazz and funk elements, something we take for granted these days. The band grew out of a family project between brothers Tim, Jon and Andrew Fariss, a trio of Sydney boys who called themselves The Fariss Brothers. Despite the name, this early lineup included Hutchence, with whom Andrew had attended High School, as well as Garry Gary Beers. In 1977 they completed their lineup with drummer Kirk Pengilly, although it wasn't until 1979, when young Jon Fariss completed school, that they began gigging in pubs about Sydney and eventually throughout Australia. They debuted with a self-titled release in 1980 and 1981's Underneath the Colours, but in 1983 became interested in breaking into the unsuspecting American markey. Shabooh Shoobah was their stateside debut, followed by a tour and a hit single with "Original Sin." With that, INXS continued to rise in success. Their 1985 record Listen Like Thieves made it to #11 on the US charts and included the truly funky "What You Need," still a staple of modern rock stations. In 1987 they followed with Kick and the singles "Devil Inside," "Need You Tonight," and a handful of others. Their followups failed to reach the same successes, although they have managed to remain popular especially in the UK and Australia. Hutchence took a brief foray into side projects with a band called Max Q (which fared even worse than INXS ever dared), and in 1995 worked on a solo release. However, INXS will celebrate 20 years together with the release of Elegantly Wasted, slated for an April 15 release. ________________________________________ pauldean@wcug.wwu.edu http://wcug.wwu.edu/~pauldean X-Authentication-Warning: majordomo.iastate.edu: Processed from queue /var/spool/majordomo/inxs-list Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 16:16:31 -0800 (PST) From: "Alexander G.

Firstly, I was in Melbourne for the Australian Open tennis, then when I got back the university had updated their email/internet programs for this year and I'm having a bit of trouble with that. I can't get my email working, so I'm writing to you via your homepage. I haven't been able to check my email for about 2 weeks, so I don't really know what's happening on the list, so I'll be relying on the latest news on your homepage to keep me up to date until my email is working. If you happen to be emailing Mary in the next few days can you mention that I'm having trouble with my email. With the Freedom CD, the shop has still not got it in, I ordered 2 of them on 23rd December! The reason the shop gives for the delay is the company has been on a break over the Christmas period. I guess another reason is that CD comes from a small record company. When I was in Melbourne I looked in a few shops as well to see if any had it in stock, because if they did I was just going to buy another one and send it. Sorry about the delay, but I just have to wait until the shop gets it in. Haven't heard much news, Niki Turner released a statement saying Michael/Paula would not be moving to Australia to that house in Plunkett St, Kirribilli. As for my tennis trip there was a couple of INXS related stories. Firstly, it took me four days to meet Martina Hingis who won the final today. I was wearing my 'Calling All Nations' t-shirt the one with the nine flags on it, and she noticed it when I was talking to her and she was making sure it had a Switzerland flag on it (which it does). I asked her if she liked INXS and she said their alright, but her favourite band was Bon Jovi, she doesn't have any INXS albums, anyway that's all I said about INXS to her. The other tennis related INXS story, was when I was watching Pat Cash practice on an outside court. He is the person who interviews Tim on the boat in the Swing & other stories video (you probably knew that), anyway I asked him if he was still an INXS fan and he thinked to himself then said "great band", then I asked him if he remembered interviewing Tim on the boat, and he said "That's right, that was a very long time ago", then he said that he had never actually seen the video and how the interview turned out, so I told him about it, while he was signing autographs. I didn't mention INXS to any other players I met as it didn't really seem appropriate. Anyway, hopefully I will get my email working again, although Monday is Australia Day holiday, so the earliest I can see someone is Tuesday, I better have it working soon because I don't want to miss the messages about the VH1 gig. If you want to can send my INXS tennis stories to the list, no point responding to this message because I can't read the response at the moment. I'll let you know when I have sent the Freedom CD also. Cheers, Matthew.

For those of you wondering about the song, it is from the "Dogs In Space" soundtrack, and is by Michael Hutchence, not INXS. But what a brilliant song! It went Top 10 in Australia when it was released if I remember correctly. It's a perfect ending to Dogs in Space, for it really grabs you and makes you a part of the song. You can actually feel the pain of the singer (who just happens to be Michael) while he mourns the loss of his girlfriend... Hmm...

These are two of my most treasured 7" records. :) And why do I love it? I think it's Michael's delivery of the lyrics that push it right over the top and into my personal hall of fame!

I have so many thought on this one that I don't really know where to begin. In short, the song tears me up. As Neil said, it's a perfect ending to "Dogs in Space," and really draws you into the storyline. Playing it at Anna's gravesite and then as they're being forced out of the house makes for some really powerful images. Although there are lots of instruments in the score, the song has a really stark feel to it, I think, and lends itself well to the whole concept of mourning a loved one, a lost relationship, or whatever else may be going on in your head at the time you hear it. Several people have already mentioned how difficult it is to find this one, and I agree. I have a casette version of the soundtrack but am afraid to play it (I've dubbed it) anymore, as It's nearly worn out from constant use. Does anyone know if it's available on CD? I used to work in a record store and seem to remember looking it up once only to find that there was a Japanese CD, but no other, and that the casette was out of print. Does anyone else have any info on this? I'm anxious to hear what the rest of you think! Nanci ....................................................................

Because of "Dogs in Space," my husband Mitch and I met, started dating, and got married. It started in 1989 when we were at the same meeting at school. I was sitting in front of him and had turned around to talk to the guy next to him (I'd never seen Mitch before in my life). While I was talking I was also digging through my purse for something, and began taking things out of the purse to help in my search. One of the things I took out was the "Dogs in Space" soundtrack. (I never carry music in my purse, but somehow it worked its way in there that day.) When I took the tape out, Mitch inturrupted my conversation and began to freak out over the tape. He later told me that at that moment, when I exposed myself as a "Dogs in Space" devotee, he knew we would end up together. I never did finish my conversatrion with the other guy, and we've been together ever since :-) I'm sorry that this post isn't relevant to what this group is about, but I figured this would be the only group in the world who might appreciate the story. It also makes me wonder if anyone else out there has met their sould mate as a result of INXS? Nanci ....................................................................

The band actually DOES pub shows around the time of album releases. Lots of bands do small local promo tours before they launch their albums. If you follow the huge alternative band "Live", they are doing some gigs in small theaters starting in their hometown as a prelude to their album release next month. And as far as being snide, I think the UK media wins that award hands down.

The One Thing - The first one I ever heard/saw (on early MTV). I was hooked by the lyrics/music, the hedonism, the figs, and the guys' 80's-pretty-boy/ dandyish looks. 2. Jan's Song - Excerpted for my college senior quote: "...now is the moment to get out of here..." Independence and unrest! 3. Don't Change - MTV video #2 for me... Great hooks and they looked so scrappy/sexy. 3.5 Original Sin - The first time that I heard Original Sin was in a club called New York, New York in 1985. I was dancing with Lance Gerdes (a beautiful blond senior) as the opening strains filtered through the hot, sweaty masses on the dance floor. It was perfect: the beat, the music, and the theme. Every weekend when they played it, Lance and I would find each other and groove. 4. Underneath the Colours - Beautifully written and harmoniously sung. 5. Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain) - Michael held my hand and sung this one to me at a concert - 'nuff said. 6. Taste It - I could only wish. Does anyone have the GAMPY'S bumper sticker? 7. The Stairs - Very lush and emotionally evocative. 8. Guns in the Sky - Listen to this one on headphones while walking down the street. I guarantee that your attitude (and gait) will shift. 9. The Swing - Great intro. It makes you stop to listen. This song it creeps up on you and doesn't disappoint. 10. Dancing on the Jetty - Great intro and "outro". Penned so well, it takes me there!

(Lest we forget, > this is how STING's credibility went to zero.) I guess I have to disagree on both counts. Sure, I don't care for the movie, but hey -- anytime we can get INXS to put out a new song, I could care less who is in the movie, or what it is about. In any case, I was pretty pleased with their cover -- they almost never do covers, so when they do, why should they have to choose something completely obscure? I kinda liked how they converted the rock classic into a song completely their own. And as for Sting, I never thought his credibility fell because of his acting. I think he lost it when he did that sappy soundtrack song "All For One" with Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart...

INXS played for 90 minutes or so, rehearsal mode - intimate - in front of about 100-120 people in the rehearsal room 2 at ABC Gore Hill studios. Played some old stuff as well as six or seven new ones from Elegantly Wasted. The title track was great, so was a song called 'Time'... they also did Searching, plus a couple of others. Michael's voice is sounding great - even better than ever. The album is out 7 April 1997 (at least down under anyway), apparently, and last night's performances were received really well. I wasn't there, but got this info first hand from a guest. The verdict was that INXS are back, bigger and brighter!

Anyone with a Sega now about this? I HAVE this game and it's so cool. It's a game of the "Make my Video" series. There are a pub (XS Club) and a lot of INXS fans there. So, our "mission" is to re-edit three WTWYA videos (Baby don't Cry, Heaven Sent, Not Enough Time) to make it better (in that fans opinion). This game is for the Sega-CD-Genesis system. It's cool because there is the ORIGINAL video of these musics and to edit we'll take other scenes and put they into the video.

Why or why not? Two albums ago, I would have said that I didn't mind, because I kind of liked the fact that INXS was playing small clubs and becoming sort of an alternative band, but I think it's time they got the critical and commercial recognition they deserve. I'll say it again, I think their last two albums were among their best and suffered from a lack of promotion. If you think I'm wrong, keep in mind that U2 launched their ZOO TV mega-stadium tour around the same time as the INXS WTWYA pub tour. The result? You need only look at the opposite status of the two bands today. Even that God-awful U2 "Zooropa" album sold millions. (I don't care how much you disagree, I hated that album with a passion!!!!)

I think the jury is still out on my opinions of Discoteque (new U2 single). First of all I don't like it very much at the moment but that was the same for me when U2 release "The Fly" from Achtung Baby". I love Achtung Baby and these days don't even mind "The Fly". My favourite U2 albums are the ones I didn't like first time I heard them. When is the new U2 album coming out? I hope it doesn't clash to much with the new INXS album. Craig.

I know this is the INXS list, but I MUST disagree! There are more than a few U2 fans on this list, and I'm sure they too are outraged by this senseless attack. "Discotheque" is not "the worst excuse for a single ever," and I know of no U2 fans turned off by it. Moving on, I also hope the new INXS album does well, and it would rather depress me if there were no hits from it, but I don't think INXS needs (or wants) to "steal" fans from U2; to me, both bands' music is very compatible. They're moving in opposite directions right now (U2 towards a techno feel, INXS back to rock basics, I gather) but that doesn't mean that we must choose one over the other. Why can't we enjoy both? Surely no one eats the exact same meals each day, we all vary our selections - shouldn't music be this way as well? I would also tend to assume the bands would agree with me, as I've read many articles where Michael will refer to hanging out with Bono or vice versa. Clearly there's some affection there.

Firstly I enjoying seeing live bands in small venues as for me the atmosphere and energy far exceeds the larger venues, and there are no gimmicks, just the band and the music. Secondly I cant stand commercial radio so if the album is a huge commercial success there is less chance JJJ will play any songs of the album. This will be disappointing considering they have supported the band for many years and even had Michael on the afternoon show as a guest DJ. Wishing Well is one song that they have played quite frequently! Its also interesting the attitude the list has toward INXS being an alternative act and the whole alternative seen. From what I have picker up most of the young bands they are interested in, particularly Michael, would fit into what would be classed as alternative, eg Spiderbait. People who heard Michael on JJJ would of heard his thoughts on this and other young "alternative" Australian bands as well as the track her played from an English group he said he had been getting into.

I have been a fan of theirs for as long as I have been a fan of INXS. It is just that everything U2 does is gold to the critics and INXS is usually left behind. It's like when REM released "Automatic for the People" the same year as "WTWYA". Rolling Stone gave it 5 stars and INXS only 2. INXS is going to have to put out a great first single to get into critics and listeners heads that the other guys are being a little too weird with the music. "Lemon" came out the same year as "Time" and which one sound more like rock 'n roll? I have a feeling "Elegantly Wasted" will hit a nerve with listeners who are tired of bands being pretentious. People want straight-up rock music. later, John On Thu, 30 Jan 1997, Nanci Lamb Roider wrote: > In message John_Henderson > writes: > > > U2, have put out the worst excuse for a single ever.

I know how you feel -- there's that fine line between wanting your favorite band to be the biggest band in the world, but still wanting them to be your little secret. I've been reading how most (but not all) of you think it doesn't matter whether the album is commercially successful or not, as long as the music is top-notch. Well, though that might sit for bands like REM who can survive non-commercial efforts with ease, INXS really isn't in such a position anymore. I get the feeling (however silly of me this is, I'm not sure) that this is a "make it or break it" album for the band -- if it's received well, that bodes well for the future; if not, I'm not sure they will continue... Michael seems to be really itching for a solo career, so who knows? That said, I've always maintained that another WTWYA scenario is fine with me -- breathtakingly brilliant music, small critical notice, some, but not much commercial success -- but more lifelong devotion from the faithful. > Long winded I knao and Im sorry for that.

The One Thing - The first one I ever heard/saw (on early MTV). I was hooked by the lyrics/music, the hedonism, the figs, and the guys' 80's-pretty-boy/ dandyish looks. 2. Jan's Song - Excerpted for my college senior quote: "...now is the moment to get out of here..." Independence and unrest! 3. Don't Change - MTV video #2 for me... Great hooks and they looked so scrappy/sexy. 3.5 Original Sin - The first time that I heard Original Sin was in a club called New York, New York in 1985. I was dancing with Lance Gerdes (a beautiful blond senior) as the opening strains filtered through the hot, sweaty masses on the dance floor. It was perfect: the beat, the music, and the theme. Every weekend when they played it, Lance and I would find each other and groove. 4. Underneath the Colours - Beautifully written and harmoniously sung. 5. Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain) - Michael held my hand and sung this one to me at a concert - 'nuff said. 6. Taste It - I could only wish. Does anyone have the GAMPY'S bumper sticker? 7. The Stairs - Very lush and emotionally evocative. 8. Guns in the Sky - Listen to this one on headphones while walking down the street. I guarantee that your attitude (and gait) will shift. 9. The Swing - Great intro. It makes you stop to listen. This song it creeps up on you and doesn't disappoint. 10. Dancing on the Jetty - Great intro and "outro". Penned so well, it takes me there!

Those reasons are that unless it is a huge success, I won't get to see a concert. With their last album, the closest they came was Toronto which is a long way away for me and I didn't hear about the concert until after it was over. Sad thing was we were in Toronto the night after the concert so if I had known we could have gone a day earlier. If the album is a real hit, they may come to Winnipeg again (although I doubt it because of the way they were treated last time) but even if they came to Calgary or Edmonton I could make it. So while I like the idea of keeping them all to ourselves, I also would like to see them again, bad seats are better than no seats, right?

I don't think VH-1 plans on showing the concert live; the way it usually works is that the show is taped before a small studio audience (including some radio station contest winners, etc.), and then is played later on after the album comes out. So, if precedent follows, we should get to see the acoustic show in April... Of course, I could be quite wrong about this (I would be quite happy about that), but again, I'm just stating the way things usually work out... -- NKoth@worldnet.att.net -- kotharne@umdnj.edu -- NJ Med '00 Neil's World -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/ An Excess of INXS -- http://www.umdnj.edu/~kotharne/inxs.html
