Went down to the RRR studios last Fri with the missus to watch a 45 min set of Stephen Cummings. I really hadnāt heard this or anything from him in years. I didnāt realise heād had a stroke a few years back. It clearly hinders him but heās quite cheerful about it and has still got (as they said in the intro) charisma.
There was a time when this was one of my very favourite songs.
I know The One Thing gets all the new wave cred, butā¦Iāve really been getting into this one, lately.
Pre-Niles.
Gosh, theyāre an interesting band. Their early, early stuff is punkā¦almost ska.
And then they go new wave, and incidentally kind of accidentally(?) write a stadium anthem.
But anywayā¦this one.
This one should have broken them in the UK. Itās almost goth.
Comfortably my favourite INXS song.
Correct, their best.
Off their best album (imo) Shabooh Shoobah.
But their best song (once again, imo) is Donāt Changeā¦track 10 on the same album.
2 outta 3 aināt bad
It will be 3 when you get to my age.
