INXS: Access All Areas

• Epi 217: INXS Easter Eggs Everywhere

  As we wish the world a Happy Easter, we thought what better occasion for INXS: Access all Areas to deep dive on that pop culture touchstone of highlighting INXS’ very own Easter Eggs, that being the trail of cultural touchstones they have left behind over some 48 years. As with movies, books and music, artists often leave a trail and footprint in the cultural zeitgeist through multiple platforms such as movies, lyrics, sports and film clips and INXS are no different. So Bee and I have great fun in this episode locating these cool little nuggets in some obvious and obscure places. We kick things off, pardon the pun at the peak of INXS’ international fame between 1987-1990 and divert into the world of movie and TV soundtracks. We then take a left turn to sports and bring it home with something more ethereal like religion, faith and spirituality. All whilst not taking ourselves too seriously!!! So for all of you adults out there who seem to miss out on the Easter Bunny chocolate fix, sit back and get your own very dose and dollop of INXS Easter Eggs!! Love and Peace Click the link below to win a vintage copy of Listen Like Thieves, signed by Kirk and Tim. The winner will be announced at the party on The Strangest party on the 10th May. Good Luck! https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/product-page/raffle

  We're Back! INXS:Access all Areas is pleased to take pause from all that is happening in the INXS multi-verse and acknowledge the musical maestro, genius and engine room that is Andrew Charles Farriss on his recent 66th birthday.

So today we examine Andrew’s inimitable skills in songcraft, instrumentation, production and lyricism paying due homage to individual songs for INXS his influences and influence on the wider musical generations to follow. Forever evolving and challenging himself without fear or threat of changing trends and fads, we aim to dive deep on the real Andrew Farriss behind the music.

• Epi 215: Listen like Thieves; Preview Redux

  With the pending May 9th release of the 40th anniversary Deluxe Edition of Listen Like Thieves, Bee and Haydn couldn’t wait to provide their listeners around the globe a deep dive preview into the formats, track listings, special features and bonus material. But before we do, we revisit and discuss the original 1985 album release in all of its glory as the album represented INXS’ first genuine international commercial success spearheaded by the infectious funk groove of “What you Need” that soared up the charts providing the musical template of things to come. Listen Like Thieves seemed like a guitar tour-de-force response to the perceived over- produced but iconic and brilliant The Swing album, re-creating the “live sound” that Producer, Chris Thomas, wanted to encapsulate. With tracks like Good & Bad Times, This Time and the eponymous title track, this mission was achieved. The 40th anniversary Deluxe Edition release features the brilliant Giles Martin and Paul Hicks on production, remixing and engineering duties utilize the modern Atmos Dolby Mix, brilliant liner notes by famed music journalist Paul Sexton and a remastering of the forgotten but famed Royal Albert Hall gig INXS performed in unison with the BBC. With pre- orders on vinyl and CD’s available, get in early and place your orders to avoid missing out.

• Epi 214: Elegantly Wasted Vs Listen like Thieves

  Listen like Thieves vs Elegantly Wasted Time to get back to the music that filled our heads, hearts & eardrums over the years with our song showdown episode. With the 28th anniversary of Elegantly Wasted single upon us, the Bee contends that it’s the greatest INXS song that namesakes an album title. Haydn, takes the contrary view that Listen Like Thieves is the greatest single release that namesakes an actual album release. “So Houston, we have a problem” that requires a deep dive debate with opposing thoughts, views and opinions. Etched in pour collective minds and souls, both tracks managed to traverse INXS’ recording career at starkly different times. Listen like Thieves, the last ever single released that was a full band songwriting compilation and Elegantly Wasted, recorded uniquely in Ireland at a time post a Michael & Andrew night out on the town with Bono from U2. Either way, both songs serve as a signpost of INXS’ incredible versatility in musicianship and songwriting. With a jam packed news section to add, there is no other place to be this week than with the INXS: Access all Areas Podcast team! Love and peace Make you vote below and lets see who you agree with. Obviously we love them both but this is just a bit of fun. check out our facebook page to make your votes plus email the podcast if you would like to know more about the event on the 10th May  [email protected]   https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com
