I didn't catch any of the INXS TV stuff, as I'm not much of a TV person, but
I do know they had several talented people that didn't make the cut. My
friend Jeremy Thomas of Basic Rock Outfit here in Tampa Bay was auditioned.
His tunes are well worth checking out. You can download some of them for
free at his site basicrockoutfit.com. Also the runner up Marty Casey's band
the lovehammers has several catchy songs, though the lyrics are as cheesy as
the band name. You can download one of his songs, Trees, at this URL

I doubt this is one anybody has "overlooked," exactly, but I just grabbed
the new INXS record. Haven't listened to it enough to form a credible
opinion, but at first listen I really like it. I know a lot of folks have
issues with the reality show they used to find their new singer (althought I
don't, aside from what a putz Navarro turned out to be), and I personally
have a HUGE problem with the fact that they brought The Matrix in to
co-write a couple tunes. Not sure what that was about, honestly.
BUT, this is a band that earned its place the right way, and I don't see why
Hutchence's death should mean they have to give up doing what they do and
trying to do it for a major audience if they can. So I'm giving it a good
faith chance.
I suppose I'll go and try to formulate a more informed opinion now, and
later I'm off to Jeff Foster's (ex-Right Profile, The Carneys, and The
Pinetops front guy) CD release show. It's not exactly Power Pop, but I
imagine it will wind up on the 2005 Best of lists of 95% of the people who
hear it....
Happy Saturday Night, everybody.

Yessir Steve,
I'm just now putting the finishing touches on my twelfth (I believe it is)
annual "Ten You May Have Missed" list as we speak,
coming next month to Fufkin for starters,

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the lights shining
sideways when the night is down, or going in strange places with a dog
nosing before you and a dog nosing behind, or drawn to the cities where
you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the
ditch, and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing from your
heart.
