INXS has always taken great pride in their cover art, liner notes, and image shots for each album release. With icons of the industry like Nick Egan and Pierre Winther playing a huge part in capturing timely images, INXS were definitely image innovators.
 
So today it’s you, the INXS Podcast fans and wider fan community that get to vote for what album cover resonated with you then and now as we count down from 11 to 1, in the rank of the best INXS studio album cover/artwork.
 
We also continue our new segment “fun facts in music” with Bee whilst also hearing her long-overdue list of Pleasures and Pain from 1993. Oh yeah, I hear the volcano is about to erupt with a Mount Vesuvius type explosion of “The Rant” spilling over the airwaves.
 
That and a whole lot more as we get “our Kicks on Route 66” episode on the only weekly podcast dedicated to INXS.
 
Peace and love

Epi 65: Happy (Birthday) INXS Tunes!

With the wider world in turmoil “who’s going to give us peace and happiness”?
Well, that fantastic sextet from Sydney that started off as the Farriss Brothers on August 16th, 1977 on Tim’s 21st birthday. That’s who! With COVID-19 lockdowns, curfews, and insurgency in Afghanistan rife, we need a time out to celebrate, acknowledge and commemorate a Happy Birthday for INXS.
The operative word being “happy”! Bee and I dive deep into our respective top 6 INXS tracks that represent pure joy, happiness and stimulate our smiles. In addition, we add some non INXS tracks that over the years have been toe-tappers and brought happiness to our collective hearts.
Oh yeah, Bee has her own new segment “fun facts in music”. So do yourself a favour and “forget about the troubles in life” and join Episode 65 of INXS: Access all Areas.

Epi 64: Don’t change!

Episode 64:
Don’t Change... It’s rare that a song that eked into the Billboard Charts at number 80 in 1982 could still some 39 years later still have such a profound effect. The epic sounds, soaring vocals, and lyrical refrain have made the song rock n roll royalty with it inspiring Bruce Springsteen, No Doubt, Everclear, Grinspoon, AFI, and The Audreys amidst many to cover it. A song that still sounds vital and fresh thanks largely to Mark Opitz's timeless production. A song that still elicits the heart, mind, and soul to invest in every line. A song that truly still enables an emotional connection each time it plays on the radio.
So, this week we dig deep into just what, why, and how this song has become the classic weapon in INXS’ catalogue and share its greatness to you, our listeners. Love and peace!

Epi 63: How to win friends INXS Style.

“How to win INXS fans and influence people”!
Like the famous author Dale Carnegie of the first self-help book published in 1936 namely “How to win friends and influence people”, we take notable inspiration. INXS themselves have won many admirers across the globe and influenced many bands and artists accordingly.
So today we celebrate, cite, eulogize and acknowledge such matters as introduce a brand new segment to our podcast series. Curious? Well you’ll need to listen in and dive deep when it comes to our topic section of INXS: Access all Areas and enjoy
 
Also it’s the return of pleasure and pain in 1993 as Haydn reminisces about the songs that he loved, still love amidst the stinkers that only serve as musical earworms 28 years later. Enjoy!

Epi 62: Great Britain GREAT INXS!!!

GREAT BRITAIN GREAT INXS: 
INXS was a truly international band with the sextet playing over 4000 gigs across the globe.
In this first installment of INXS’ conquering a region, we commemorate the slow burn and ultimate ascent to cultural icons in the UK.
This culminating in Wembley and the number one album, Welcome To Wherever You Are. We examine all aspects of the band's influence of British bands in their formative years plus five deep on tours, sales, chart results, friendships formed and just how they overcame the prejudice of the UK press to truly deserve what became in July 1991: “INXS week in Britain”.
Don't forget to check out the eBay page, there is always something wonderful to bid on and win. This week is an original complete Fan-kit from 1997, jam-packed with goodies. Click this link to find out more about what is inside.wwwinxsaccessallareas.com 
 
So sit back, listen closely, and enjoy what was arguably their toughest market to crack and celebrate INXS in the UK!

Epi 61: The NEW Album reviewed; including NEW INXS cover songs.

For the very first time since we launched INXS: Access all Areas, we get to review a new INXS release in contemporary times.
Despite being songs derived from their back catalogue, the new soundtrack Original Sin: The Seven Sins is an adventurous 13 song release. It provides listeners with 9 modern cover versions of timeless tracks whilst drawing on 4 songs from prior albums.
So Bee and I take on the unique task of reviewing each track on its own merits whilst also giving due consideration as to how they shape the narrative of the movie to which they’re a companion piece.
As always Bee and I shall approach this in two different ways with the usual difference of opinions forthcoming. We all appreciate and love the original versions of these songs, however, do yourself a favour and look to this album as a celebration and modern day complement to the greatness of INXS and as the guy from Wham once said: “Listen Without Prejudice”!

Epi 60: Part 2 of the making of the ’Wembley concert’

Let the retrospective continue!!
With July 13th, 1991 etched into every INXS fan's consciousness we continue the trip down memory lane in Part 2 of our Wembley Special.
With an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and joy experienced last week in our deep dive with Nick Egan and Mark Opitz, we are again joined by Cameron Adams (the number one Music Entertainment journo in Australia) tackling all and sundry on this, the most auspicious and memorable day of achievement for an Australian band on the world stage.
So close your eyes, picture yourself there through the words of our esteemed guests and enjoy musical bliss at its zenith! Peace!
