to all those who have recently been lambasting INXS, please return to your
shallow caverns and rekindle your fire.  (please do not forget to put your loin
cloth back on.)  INXS may not be a fringe alternative group, but their music
does not conform with typical top 40 standards.  INXS is best in my humble
opinion.  _welcome to wherever you are_ definitely is their best effot to date
.  it is raw, fresh, and different.the band will be returning to the studio in
january and expect a tour next year.
as for peter murphy, what happened to _holy smoke_? the album was just released
this summer, and in my humble opinion, was better than _deep_.  any body have
any feelings.  if negative keep them save it for someone that cares.

If she was looking for money, she'd record another vacuous chart track
like Nothing Compares 2U. I suspect she made enough from that and the
people who bought I do not want... thinking it was all going to be
similar to sit back and do what she wants for a while. I also suspect
that the hoo-har about her not wanting to be a vehicle for American
jingoism didn't make her reticent about offending the airheads.

Just before I do not want... came out she was invited onto The Late
Show (british arts and entertainment show). She could have plugged
NC2U, in fact she did Black Boys on Mopeds. For that I can forgive her
almost anything. I even forgive her for murdering Games Without
Frontiers and Don't Give Up.

XTC fans, current and future--

As a member of the Church of the New Beatles, I listen to XTC frequently
(also TMBG, REM, NRBQ, and the recently rereleased Big Star).  They are
one of the greatest groups still working today (although it's too bad they
don't tour).

Don't believe the bad press on Nonsuch.  This album combines the best of
all their '80s albums and might just be their greatest achievement yet.
It's only fault is that it's a couple of songs too long.  ("War Dance" and
"Crocodile" should have left off, IMHO.)  Nevertheless, I highly recommend it.

  ********************alt.music.*******************************

Surely if you view yourself as an anarchist, you should be very weary of
making very general remarks.... 'with the rest of our ilk. You're post 
is the most narrow minded parochial post I have seen on this whole
subject. Would it make you feel any better if I posted 20 times that the
Pope sucks.
     Remember, just because people enjoy alternative music, it does not
mean that everything in their lives are alternative.

      As for the sinead  affair, I am getting more than a little peeved
seeing her.... I am Irish, and she paints a very bad picture of her home
country, the last interview I saw with her, I believe she said that the
country was full of child molesters etc etc. I do hope she fully
believes in what she is preaching, because if it is a publicity stunt,
it will eventually backfire, as it has here to a certain extent, people
are basically sick to death of hearing her moaning on about one thing or
another. I think she has backed the wrong horse in stabig at religion. 
It will just annoy people who are religious, and people who do not could
not really care.

Just drive through that street and neighborhood, and you'll find
plenty of record stores.  Grammaphone should carry more stuff than
Tower.  They specialize in dance music (alternative, techno, house, etc.).
Their address is 2663 North Clark, not too far from Tower.  I'll give you

He's Lying:

>>I hate to do this, especially since the recent Pearl Jam break-up hoax,
>>but I heard today from a technician at the studio where REM mixed the new
>>album that they will be breaking up.

     In last year's ROLLING STONE cover story on Michael Stipe,
     the interviewer pointed out that Berry, Buck and Mills had
     joked with him that REM would make albums until the 21st
     Century.
     The interviewer wanted to know if this was true.
     Stipe acknowledged that it was a joke they came up with
     during recording for OUT OF TIME, and that, yeah, he could
     see making albums with these guys until the year 2001.  

     Not that this negates the break-up rumour this guy heard,
     but it does indicate REM are not so unstable as to be
     taking their future one day at a time.  

     In fact, the reverse seems closer to the truth: REM didn't
     tour in support of OUT OF TIME, they said, because the
     GREEN tour didn't allow them to record OUT OF TIME for
     a full two years.  They had so much to do musically that
     just couldn't wait - so they didn't tour, they went back
     to the studios for AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE.  They're doing
     the same between now and next year.

     Are making long-range plans the hallmark of an unstable
     relationship of any kind, let alone a band?  No, of course
     not.

     And for all those hanging on Stipe's promise that they'll
     tour NEXT TIME...  He said that about THIS TIME.

                 Shortly  thereafter, the health of  Annie
                 Blackburn still in question, the behavior
                 of Special Agent  Dale Cooper was noticed
