Big plug for “Listen Like Thieves”!

💯💯💯 genuinely hard to go wrong; they wrote so many stone classics!

I see what you mean about Courtney Barnett sounding like Lou Reed, but a lot of her work reminds me of The Fall more. She has a similar lyrical density, and "Pedestrian at Best" would sound great on a playlist after The Fall's "Container Drivers."

Also! I know the focus was more on INXS's imperial era, but holy cats is "Don't Change" a great song. I used to play it in my busking set and even if no one knew it, I had a lot of fun playing it.

Their catalog is impressively deep!

This was great! I need to check out Off Campus. Millennial here and INXS is one of those bands I have a real blind spot for. A podcast I love, Hollywood Crime Scene, recently did a great three-part series on Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates. Such a tragic story.

Genuinely awful. I’m glad that baby got some form of the life she should have had with her full, blended family.
