INXS: Access All Areas

Epi 126: Jon Farriss Interview: Part One

We are blessed today to have the musical genius of Jon Farriss joining INXS Access All Areas for a deep dive into his career and life post-INXS touring. “Old world, new world,” you may say. Jon is extra-giving and generous with his thoughts and insights.
 
Starting in reverse order, Jon shares what life in 2022 is like as he dials in from his magnificent Byron Bay outskirts estate. He discusses what music means to him circa 2022, the songs that he is most proud of from his INXS days, and the importance of a work-life balance.
 
Often referred to as the George Harrison of INXS, Jon provides some unique insights into the music industry and society as we “don’t” know it and does so with unyielding passion and purpose.
 
We are delighted to have Jon, the most reclusive member of INXS, joining our deep dive and giving you, the INXS fans a rare forum to get to know the man behind the greatness.
 
So, buckle up, sit back and enjoy the words and wisdom of Jon “Deepest Red” Farriss!
 
Love and peace ✌️ Haydn

Epi 125: The Great INXS Debate FOR 1987–1997

Ok, INXS progressives! It’s now time to argue your case for the truly global years of 1987-1997 with strong opinions, facts, anecdotes, and passion as to why this era truly resonates with you.
 
We are pleased to invite long-term contributors such as Chicago’s finest Laurie Alfaro, Aussie Regional outback hotelier Darren Jones, and our Queen of the INXS Fandom Mary Woods to state their case with no fear or favour.
 
With the chance to rebut and rebuke last week’s episode debaters, the team surely gives a great fist of things along with Glenn Hoffman, who tweets a War & Peace riposte to those so-called “regressive fans”!
 
Anyway, all is discussed with total INXS love and no nasty cancel culture put-downs, and sets us up nicely as we enter the latter years of our INXS deep-dive narrative.
 
Mary has made the few remaining INXS Vintage Fan Kits, Art Prints, XTour Signs, and a Complete Collection available on her US ebay.com page. The great thing is now Shipping Is Free Worldwide! Each item ships from her home in Mexico via International Registered Mail with Tracking.

Ep 119: ’Heaven Sent’ The Maxi Single Review

As we acknowledge the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, it’s somewhat appropriate that we dive deep on what many consider the greatest CD Maxi Single in INXS’ catalogue: “Heaven Sent”.
 
With the early 1990’s signifying a real musical shift, INXS spearheaded their seminal Welcome to Wherever You Are with this four-to-the-floor rock stomper that surprisingly started off as a country-tinged ballad.
 
Including the bonus tracks “It Ain’t Easy”, “11th Revolution”, “Deepest Red” and the gliding version of “Heaven Sent”, INXS Access All Areas explores this exciting period in 1992 when bands took great risks with their releases.
 
So, as we enjoy getting all musical again, sit back and enjoy what kicked off an exciting new period of experimentation for the great INXS.
 
Love and peace ✌️
Haydn & Bee
