fave binx - GGB, then Andrew (I've met GGB, Hutch and Tim - and have 2 meet and greets coming up. - fave song - strangest party - concerts - its embarrassing to say - there will be at least 8 for the Switch tour - would've been more except for a long hospitalization.”
(mii1 – Introduce Yourself)

“I LOVE INXS. It's a pretty simple statement, but it represents such a big piece of who I am. I've been so very lucky to experience INXS in person eight times in my life, four times with Michael, and now, four times with Jason. No need to compare the experiences. It's always been INXS, the whole band, that I love. Every single one of them! They are each uniquely talented, gorgeous, inspiring and HOT, baby!”
(deeceegee – Introduce Yourself)

“I've been a big INXS fan since Listen Like Thieves came out. I love them all, but I have a soft spot for Garry. - I too am totally BSC. I'm going crazy with the gigs on the second leg too. Can't wait for my next 2 road trips”
(ember2 – Introduce Yourself)

“I am a BSC Jonette! Which means most of my time is spent talking and posting about Jon - but I do love the whole band! There is just something about that drummer though!!!”

April 6, 2006

"It's all good! I've been Inxs for 25 years, deepest regret is never seeing Michael Live, except for on Live Baby Live. I've made up for it though, seeing OB:OB 5 times on the 1st leg and atleast 5 on this 2nd leg. Can't wait for 4/23 to get here! I'm so excited about the 2nd leg and this new board!
Love to All!

"Hi all, - Thanks for the invite to join the board. I was JDFever at Rockband and Voting4JD at Fortune448. Nice to see so many familiar names. You all may not recognize me because I tend lurk more than I post but I love our band dearly. And believe it or not I still listen to Pretty Vegas daily ... can't help myself. Please somebody tell me I'm not the only one.
Favorite band member: I guess my name says it all. But Tim comes in second.
Song: PV & Never Let you go from Switch
From Previous CD's: Black & White, Elegantly Wasted, Original Sin and Searching
And damn when are they gonna come back my way for a another concert. I saw them Oakland and I want more!!! Yes I'm greedy. But it was the best concert ever! I tried to talk my husband into going to Vancouver but he just laughed. I could go without him but it wouldn't feel right."
(JDFever - Introduce Yourself)

April 14, 2006

"First time INXS came on my radar was when their video Don't Change started playing on some TV video show I was watching. Can't remember the show, but that moment, seeing and hearing INXS for the first time, changed my life, musically speaking, forever. I could not believe how great they sounded, and looked, and my first thought was "I have to tape this so I can keep it forever", which, of course, I did. Next thought was, "I have to call my friends to tell them to turn on this show to see INXS too!! ", which, of course, I also did. From that point on my mission was to find and buy as much of their music as I could get my hands on, and, no matter what, I was determined I was going to get to see and hear INXS live. Thankfully that happened a number of times for me and I will never, ever forget those experiences. There have only been a couple of other bands in my life whose music affected me this much, and none that have ever made me want to join fan boards. Thank you Jason, for bringing my favourite band back to me, and for making them so happy."

"Have loved INXS since JKW. Miss Michael, but think JD is fitting in really well. Love all the fellas but my heart belongs to Mr. Jon Farriss of course, the sex god of all drummers, as it seems about 8 out of 10 seem to go for the drummer Just look at that man OMG just got outta bed hair. Love him."
(Joser60 - Introduce Yourself)

"Not long ago I was a (seemingly) normal human being. Now I am a BSC Human Being / Being Human! So glad to find others with the same affliction/blessing! It has been so much fun being a fan and "meeting" everyone! Love the new site and can't wait to see more!"
(mauigirl - Introduce Yourself)

"Hi all!! Marnee here, known as Marns to most! So many familier faces which is great to see! And new ones too - hope to get to know you soon!
I'm 17 year old Aussie girl and have always liked INXS music but never been very 'into' it... that is untill now! I saw the last few eps of Rockstar:INXS and have been obsessed ever since!!! I'm totally head over heels in love with Jon - he's so beautifuk! (Hey, it's only a 27 year age gap...)
I do have a soft spot for JD - He's the reason I got into the band!! My favourite song would have to be Mistify! I love it!!!
I havn't been to any concerts yet - I havn't had a chance to!! I'll definatly go to the Melbourne show in September!!
Anyway, I'll stop rambling now... Marns xoxo"

"At the concert, I was supposed to be back in Row U, took them forever to get my seat because people were in the wrong seats. Then I ended up moving up with Kira in 5th Row or wherever she was. MUCH BETTER SEATS! After the security being real witches, the concert finally started, and it was really awesome. I enjoyed being up there with Kira and having a good time. Thank you to soonergirl for letting me have her seat."

"Hello everyone! Man, you wouldn't believe what I went through to get here. *wipes sweat from brow* But here I am and with a new name. I want to thank you for the kind invitation to join your board. Hmmm, should I tease you and try to make you guess who I am or should I tell you? Well, with my nickname you should be able to figure it out.

I love the format! It will probably take some getting used to.

Just a brief intro. I have been a fan of INXS since, oh, forever. Long time fan. My favourite INXS member is Tim as you can tell from my nick. And I love his guitars. TMI? Favourite song? Mmmmm, The Stairs, Mediate, Send A Message, Who Pays the Price..... "

"Hi all!! Reckon here - INXS message board whore.!!
Lovely place here.!!

My real name is Steph, if you all didn't know. I am 35 and live near Harrisburg, PA in the US. Totally batshit crazy.

Long time INXS fan, have always been one of my favorite bands. Became a total obsession around the time that IOL came out. Rediscovered my love of our band, and has only gotten stronger. Used to post on the old international forum, was actually the first message board I ever posted on. The rest they say is history.....

Going to take a look around."

"Hi familiar faces. As usual, I ass backward and just hopped right in to chat last night before introducing myself.

I liked INXS but was not knowledgeable of anything other than their hits. Started RS:INXS cos it was live music and got hooked. JD reeled me in from CD and my life has not been the same. I know am collecting all the old stuff and I love it all.

Went to DC concert in Feb and am going again Tues and then to NY on Friday. Unfortunately, that's all my piggy bank and job obligations allows right now *sobs*. Thanks for the invite and I'm luvin' it luvin' it so far. Off to check out some more of the site!"
(AbsorbingAll - Introduce Yourself)

"Hi everyone! Snapitout here. Love this site.

Before RS:INXS, I owned KICK. When I saw ads for the show, I thought it'd be interesting and couldn't wait for it to start. I read the bios beforehand and JD was my man. AW came on and set me back on my heels buuuut...I tuned into the next show wanting to see what he'd do next...'cuse yeah...he gave an unforgettable performance. lol! Well, CD was IT for me, no turning back.
As much as I wanted JD to win from the begining, it wasn't until the Star 98.7 Mystify performance that I knew without a doubt that he was roit . (hence the snapitout name)
At the end of the day (ha), I think so many people watching...and maybe even some contestants took a wrong turn when they failed to comprehend that this was a reality show, where nothing much is real, and that the person joining the band had to be.... ROIT !!! for INXS!!

So sorry for the novel introduction lol, and please excuse my odd sense of humor, I've had it all my life and can't seem to shake it... "

"Some may know me as Sharon. I was never comfortable with my real name on the boards so I've changed to my nickname Goat - As in Scape... (long story but unfortunately it's what I'm used to).

And for those that don't know - INXS is coming to Toronto to play for my birthday party on 14 May. If you're nice, I just may invite you. Yes, I'm happy in my delusions."
(Goat - Introduce Yourself)

Band Love
Eejay - Ever since we saw JD at the Sony concert - their first live concert in Canada - I began to realize how fame could be a two-edged sword. dcg and I were genuine, polite fans, asking for a picture, waiting to be invited to his space, and thanking him for his time and for holding onto his dream -- right behind us came a mob, that's the only way I can describe them -- we actually backed off, because it was like a flock of vultures had descended on him.
fortune4me - And it reminds me of the story he told about getting his picture taken and a lady coming back to ask for another picture because he smiled just like he had in someone else's picture.
Eejay - I wonder if they get together at night and decide which fan was the weirdo of the day?
fortune4me - That would be funny!
Eejay - By the way -- changing topics a little -- I really loved the way JD introduced the band in the NYC concert during Taste It
fortune4me - Me too. That was the coolest intro ever. He really put some thought into that. (Oh, yeah, he is a songwriter)
eejay - I wonder if he and Andrew are already writing new songs for the next album?
fortune4me - Maybe that's his talent…. We all know he can write a song in no time flat. Maybe he just came up with the intros.
Eejay - He certainly put love into it, didn't he! I loved the little nod of approval Timmy gave him when JD danced over close to him.

When Was JD Roit For You?
SleepinIn - California Dreaming.. yes that's where I stopped and watched.. The Letter, though, that's when I said holy crap!.. it's him!
PhanTim - When I saw JD do AW I thought WTF? I thought it was a train wreck ready to happen!
AbsorbingAll - I missed the 1st show and I'm glad, cos I probably wouldn't have watched. My first watch was the 2nd show and after JD did CD, I was hooked! Also enjoyed some others that night but he had me hook, line & sinker!
SleepinIn - PT - I didn't see AW until MUCH later LOL
PhanTim - I wasn't going to watch anymore and I was so disappointed in the BINX
SleepinIn - I missed a lot of the "reality" episodes
PhanTim - But then I caught another bit and then caught all of HIMP and then I was hooked!
I just knew that JD was right!
SassyKathy - I missed most of the reality episodes, that I why I bought the krack!
fortune4me - I didnt mind AW (ducks), but I also didn't just love it. But CD did it for me!
PhanTim - I missed almost all of the reality shows
AbsorbingAll - I didn't see complete AW till I got the krack in January, and I'm glad too.
fortune4me - PT, you'll love them. They were good. Krack is a must have.
This Is The Show - Haha! - I was not a fan that first night. I bet the actual performance was much better than what we saw edited. I downloaded the song from the Mayan CD
fortune4me - AA, lol. AW not the best, but if you listen and don't watch, it's good. Voice is good. Moves, not so good.
AbsorbingAll - Actually, I liked AW when I saw it finally, but am glad I didn't see it at 1st cos of the comments. He was a bit spastic but the hair f--k didn't bother me, and his voice was good for the 1st time. You could just feel the energy.

Rock Star Did Work!

Marns - I'm an INXS fan because I accidentally turned the TV on one of the last RockStar shows, - I saw JD and thought, Yum!.... then started looking up INXS and fell for Jon!! See, if I hadn't turned on that TV, I wouldn't love Jon - And wouldnt be sitting here talking to you guys!!! Don't know if that makes sense... but I'm sure you catch my drift.
AbsorbingAll - I turned it on the week of JD and California Dreamin', and was hooked not just with JD, but about the music - and then when the bottom 3 had to sing, I was like........I remember this band!.........I've been buying 80-90's INXS CD/DVD's since to catch up.
Marns - And AA - I have been too - I just bought another CD today actually!
AbsorbingAll - It's funny to see and listen and learn from the true INXS fans, and then to read and hear all that has come into play with BSC during the show and even after. And when I say BSC, yes, my #1 is JD but I have come to love the rest and lust a few of them........hehehehe!
Marns - I went shopping with a BSC friend of mine - it's all about Michael for him - and we went to all the shops searching for different INXS DVD's and CD's... it was so much fun!! LOL at one store, I don't know if they do this at shops near you guys, but for the more well known bands, they have little tabs in between the cds saying "INXS" and then all the INXS cds (and so on for other bands)... well at this shop they had the tab but no INXS cds... and the tab was at the back so we moved it to the front to "Make sure they knew they needed to restock."
AbsorbingAll - Coming home from NY on Sunday, I was trying to sleep after staying up all night to get to the Today Show, and all of a sudden, my kid has the Switch CD blaring and he, his girlfriend and another friend are singing DP and PV word for word! Back in Dec/Jan, my kid called me up one afternoon and said "Mom, listen!" and he had the Switch CD playing on the loud speakers at his car dealership. That's when I knew I could suck him in to going!

Ember’s Drumstick
Ember2 - Tonight when I came home, customs wanted to know why I had gone to Cleveland, and why I hadn't bought anything. they ended up searching my bags, and when the custom official saw the drum stick she asked if it really was signed by Jon. She squeed! Then let me go!

Jon and Kerry
Ember 2 - I got a chance to talk to Jon and Kerry too.
Claired - 'Scuse me while I thud for a sec over Jon Was he friendly?
Ember2 - Yes, Jon is quiet but very friendly. I spoke with Kerry first and told her congrats, and that I had held up a sign in Fredericton wishing Jon and Kerry a very happy marriage. It turns out Jon had seen it and called her about it. She punched his arm and told him that I was the one who had made the heart and rings sign. He thanked me. I got my pic taken with both of them. I hope it turned out. I'm going to get the pics developed after holiday Monday.

Real Fans
Ember2 - The guys really are "the bestest", Claired! They can spot the real fans. It doesn't take going to multiple concerts to get noticed. Todd, the tour manager, was mentioning that it didn't make a difference if you went to 1 or 10 shows.

Tim
Ember2 - I managed to snag a quick convo with Tim about his new guitar. I told him it sounded liked liquid sex, drifting out to the audience. He laughed and liked my description. I told him it was the most distinctive sound of his guitar, and that I love it because he wailed on the songs he used it. I asked him how many pick-ups it had, and he laughed because he couldn't remember. It was cool to talk to Tim because he's not usually around after a show. Tim totally loved the liquid sex comparison.

Correct Terminology – Guitar Lesson and the Wah Wah

Cancon - doesn't that silver doo dad do a similar thing
PhanTim - In Guitar Player he says he uses a Jimi Hendrix Wah and an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a tremolo here and there
Cancon - Okay I am a bad Timbit, I must study the intricacies of the guitar, PT will have to put me through a rigourous series of examinations
PhanTim - cancon, I'm working on guitar 101 for the Blue Marlin room
Cancon – Good. Are there at least different kinds of wah wah pedals? What is Tim using in Searching. It is the only Tim has had to stand still for a song.
PhanTim - cancon, there are different wah pedals, but the Jimi Hendrix wah is the most widely used.
Eejay - I love that name "wah wah" The English language - onomatopoeia!
Cancon - Because he has his foot on the pedal for most of that song.
PhanTim - cancon, that is the Jimi Hendrix wah, you can actually see Kirk using it much more clearly in a couple of shots.
Cancon - well I guess Searching just has a lot of wah wah
PhanTim - you can clearly see Kirk with his foot on something, rocking it back and forth, that is the wah.
Cancon - I love that song!
PhanTim - But because Tim isn't a special effects user, he only uses the wah infrequently and then for only short periods so you really wouldn't notice
Cancon - I half knew what i was talking about
PhanTim - Some players have 15 effects in their "stomp boxes", especially the heavy metal guitarists
Cancon - wasn't Peter Frampton the king of wah wah? Now that is Edge.
PhanTim - Jonny Buckland from Coldplay is another guy who uses very few effects. Yeah, Frampton sure loved his wah pedal
Cancon - Though he is not a heavy metal guitarist Edge has quite the system
PhanTim - yeah, Edge does but he uses a lot of delay in his guitar work.
Eejay - PT -- hope you are keeping all this info to post in your beautiful site
PhanTim - Don't worry eejay, it will all get there.
Eejay - I can't tell you how much I am enjoying it!
Cancon - Eric Clapton is not a wah wah guy. – Delay? Explain.
PhanTim - Easiest explanation: he hits a note but it doesn't go through the amp for a microsecond so what you hear sounds like a note played against another when it really is just delayed
Cancon - Oh I see, like the way Chad Kroeger sings! Or the way they record Nickelback.
PhanTim - Don't quote me on this stuff because I'm high on Sudafed! Tomorrow I’ll remember what I said and go wtf – what was I talking about!
Cancon - That is why little U2 makes so much noise
PhanTim –Yes, cancon
PhanTim - but U2 also uses interesting time signatures and stuff which keeps their music interesting and textured. Like the opening to "Streets have no name”
Cancon - No doubt about it. It is just amazing how loud they are for 4 piece band. Usually only 2 guitars. Edge is the U2 riff man
PhanTim - They have their amps cranked, and probably use low resistance.
Cancon - When you consider INXS can have 4 guitars going and I love it when it is 4 guitars going. Can we get JD on the guitar next?
PhanTim - Andrew really is the best rhythm guitarist out there, I think.
Cancon - You can never have too many guitars
PhanTim - I would love to hear Andrew play by himself or take the lead

What A Group of Guys!

(A story brought over by Mauigirl from an INXS.com poster, for us all to enjoy! If someone knows the name of the poster, email me and I’ll edit to add. Thanks - ej)

“Just got back from the Milwaukee concert. What a night! My 7 year old daughter, Emily, had an absolute blast. So many things happened, but here is a story from several hours before the show.
JD, with no fanfare or publicity, came over to a horse drawn carraige as my daughter was petting the horse. Over the course of the next 15 minutes, we realized that JD was "renting" the horse for the rest of the night. As a horse lover, he just wanted to give the animal a little break and paid to allow the horse to go back to its stable and take the rest of the night off. He then spent a few minutes talking to my daughter...just about horses.
We met the whole band at the Meet and Greet and shared the horse event with JD again. After the show, Jon made good on a drumstick promise, even though we would not have thought badly of him if he forgot the promise he made 3 hours before that. Tim flipped us his guiter pick as well as one of Kirks. I could go on and on. A truly special event with the best band on earth. What a night! What a group of guys!
I've been an INXS fan for 24 years. The first song at my wedding was Never Tear Us Apart. But tonight all 6 of them touched my heart and my soul like no time before.”

Guns In The Sky
Cancon - The married couple that got to sit with the guys for a few hours in Niagara Falls, the night before the concert…. In fact we met them at the Delta in London, the husband is six foot five and Kirk remembered him from the audience.
fortune4me - That's a great story that couple has.
Cancon - Steve said their interest in firearms was curious, Andrew had seen a Discovery Channel Program on firearms and they were discussing it.
Inzane - What was the interest in firearms about?
Cancon - Just that the guy thought they knew way too much about firearms. They have farms, wonder if they have rifles? You know for dingoes and rascally roos and rabbits etc.
fortune4me - cancon, not rabbits. (eejay, cover your eyes!)

The Next North American Tour
Cancon – Didn’t JD say they would be back in the US in spring 2007? If that’s the case, I could live with that. My concern is they are going to do a new album in the spring and then it could be 2008! But either Jon or Andrew said in a recent interivew that they want to tour on Switch as long as possible.
This Is The Show - Meanwhile Tim's already ready to get it over with.
Cancon - What if Devil's Party or Hot Girls are break out hits in North America?
This Is The Show - Tim said in an interview last month that he doesn't want to tour for 18 months...but will if they have to. If there's interest around the world.
Cancon - I can see that, it is gruelling
fortune4me - Maybe he wants to tour 17 and 1/2 months.

A Note to INXS Management
Inzane - When you have a fan base, you need to make them feel inclusive - even if it is just sending emails with "breaking news", etc. That didn't happen. The time between the end of RS and the release of the CD was critical - they should have been posting what was going on the studio, should have had blogs up from JD, etc.
PhanTim - inzane, I agree with you
FrankenAdan - I think they had intentions of that, but it didn't have the follow through.
Choufleurrr - Inzane, I think that's exactly right.
Saxqueen - That would have been good marketing Inzane
FrankenAdan - I am going to assume that's management but not binxs, because their having a lack of follow thru would be sad
Choufleurrr - I wonder if, in part, they didn't really think about the difference in dealing with a reality-TV fan base that's used to that personal touch, lots of info, etc.
PhanTim - Inzane we were talking the other night that a bunch of people need to be fired at Sony and INXS management
Cancon - There were a few opportunities blown by INXS management frankly
FrankenAdan - They set up that studio1 or studio2 or whatever that was supposed to have all that kind of stuff, but they never added anything beyond what was there to begin with.
fortune4me - Adan, I remember that. And the podcast fizzled too didn't it.
Inzane - A bunch of people? Fire them ALL! I love the BINXS and want them to succeed but those people (the mgmt) hurt them more than they helped.
Cancon - They should have hired fans.
fortune4me - Inzane, exactly. They haven't even promoted the tour.
inzane - Here is an idea I thought about that they f--ked up on - if they had asked us (fans) to promote the concert with fliers, etc., in exchange for a personal M&G, they would have had the best promotion in town!
This Is The Show - Fire the .com people. They suck!!!
Ember2 - I agree about making fans feel inclusive. And it's one of the reasons INXS.com should have put up something about the injury in Saskatoon.
Inzane - .com didn't even know originally that INXS was up for artist of the month on VH1. Go figure

Courage and Commitment
MG448 - Apparently his leg buckled just after he left the stage last night.
tona155 - When you see what he's doing at the moment it just makes me angry again at the MB evil edit, he's nothing but courage and commitment - but not according to MB! So contrary to what his true character obviously is, you can't fake it with the amount of pain he must be in!
SleepinIn - I loved him, but honest to god, every radio interview he did "after" the show.. sent me deeper.. so personable and real.

Comparisons
Choufleurrr - OK, don't shoot me, but... I'm liking Disappear better w/MH
Inzane - GASP! But ... but ... but that would mean she doesn't get half the info on JD.
fortune4me - CF, that's okay. One less to fight for JD!
Saxqueen - No shooting chou...some songs I prefer JD, some MH. But when I hear Mystify now its JD to me
fortune4me - JD owns By My Side for me.
SleepinIn - Chou - no worries.. there are songs that MH sounds better on. Mystify and By My Side I like JD on for sure
fortune4me - MH sounded better on The Stairs to me.
Saxqueen - Whereas NTUA is still very linked to MH for me even though JD does it so well
Callalily - I only heard JD do The Stairs in Vegas, when he was under the weather
SleepinIn - NTUA is one I like from both of them. Even though they sound different
fortune4me - SQ, I think NTUA is like a completely different song with JD. I like both.
Eejay - I guess for me it's easy -- never having heard Michael sing live, I just like everything JD sings!
Saxqueen - I've never heard MH sing live either, unless Live Baby Live counts...
Eejay - SQ - I guess that's as close as we'll come to hearing Michael live....
Saxqueen - And I love the way JD sings all of the back catalogue...
SleepinIn - Kick I don't really like either of them singing it..
Choufleurrr - I love JD's Mystify. I mean, more than MH's
fortune4me - eejay, you remember what my non-BSC mother says to people. She says, "Michael wrote the songs so JD could sing them."

Hero’s Message to JD
JDIMH - Stop smoking. or it’ll hurt you. I’m gonna call Todd and leave a message.
It’ll be "JD, dude.. I love you and all, but honestly.. no more smoking.. k? k!"

It’s So Hard To Choose
Callalily - What's your favorite INXS song, Inzane?
FrankenAdan - Who can pick just one song?
Some Silken Moment - I know...it is easier to pick a list of songs I don't like
Inzane - My favorite INXS song - geez, you people don't ask the easy questions, do you?
fortune4me - Exactly. Why limit myself to one song? I have a new favorite every day.
Callalily - True, just one is hard. Top 10 is way more doable.
Inzane - If I have to pick one, I am going with Afterglow
fortune4me - Inzane, just pick one a day. That makes it easier.
Inzane - Well, today is Shake the Tree, but Lately was my second choice
Eejay - With Afterglow, once I start singing it in my mind, it won't stop. But I don't mind, because I never get tired of it.
Saxqueen - Was your favourite performance of it in London? you've been to far more concerts than me but I loved that one
Choufleurrr - Inzane, I have a different favorite every day or two.
Inzane - JD sang Afterglow EXACTLY the way I always imagined he would sing it in London. Killer. That's what makes it my favorite.
Saxqueen - Yeah, I thought that. What a night that was.
Eejay - Yes, inzane. You're absolutely right. He was perfect.

Loving Them Both
Deeceegee - Someone shouldn't need de-programming from Michael just to like JD. Both beautiful and talented.
Eejay - Every time the band plays a song that Michael sang, the music lives on!
Deeceegee - I guess it can be hard for some, for me it just wasn't though

Remixes – Your Opinions
SleepinIn - There is a new poll at the .com asking which Switch song we want as a remix
cancon - Pretty Vegas has already been Remixed
lambkins - Is it wrong for me to be opinionated in my first chat and say I'm not feeling the DP remix?
Kira - No, lambkins, snark away
Eejay - lambkins, you are free to say your opinions openly here
Ember2 - Well, I found the PV remix kind of boring. Now, where's the DP remix?
SleepinIn - I found the remixes a little stale too - have to admit. Still would like to hear Hungry remixed
lambkins - They don't sound "full" to me...kind of "tinny" or something. Maybe it's my crappy laptop speakers, though
Cris - Is the Pretty Vegas remix the one that is over 5 minutes long?? Is there more than one remix version?
SleepinIn - I think there are two versions Cris. I have two DP remixes and two PV remixes.. so I need Hungry
Kira - I wanna hear a DP remix!
Cris - I only have one DP remix. I guess I need to check out the other too!
JDIMH - Anxious to hear new songs... how’s that mix coming along?
SleepinIn - The Russian site has the Captain Emo's one.. I'll upload the Slick mix for ya

The Depth of INXS
Eejay - I'm just beginning to see the depth of INXS. Such talented men doing what they love doing for all those years -- all that creative energy -- seeing situations, seeing people, feeling their feelings, singing out and dancing at the same time!
