You know, I've gotten so sick of all the stuff on the radio, as well as many of my CD's, but thanks to these little reminder e-mails of today, I can't wait to go home and listen to I'm Not Where It's At. Perhaps it will inspire some housecleaning? Or some drinking? I am currently switching around with the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and NWA. I don't know how the last two happened, but after purchasing Office Space a few months ago and watching the shit out of it, I wanted to get my hands on some authentic gangsta rap! Go "Michael Bolton!" Sorry, Neil (Finn). I've been neglecting his CD's lately and need to give them a good listen as well. As far as the DVD revolving, I love my Return of the King DVD (I am such a geek!) and also made a nice purchase of the new Weezer DVD with all of their videos. The video for Island in the Sun is hilarious! Oh, and I heard Roll to Me the other day in a store and totally geeked out! Still love 'em! Any opinions/thoughts (if you even care) on the combination group "Velvet Revolver?" I personally thought Interstate Love Song was the best song of the '90's, and I've always been a big fan of STP and Scott Wieland himself. I didn't think I would like VR because it is basically all the guys from GNR minus Axel (thank god) and plus Scott, but they rock rock rock the house (at least on their latest single "Slither"). And, on a more personal note, I think he's sooooooo sexy! :) I know, I know, too much information. Jane, are you out there??? Nigel??? Hello??? Anybody??? Bueller???

Thanks, Darren ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 20:12:25 -0500 From: "Jen Woyan" Subject: RE: OV: NDC: Finn Brothers Here ya go: The Finn Brothers, Neil and Tim Finn, Reunite For "EVERYONE IS HERE". http://www.nettwerkamerica.com/news.jsp Neil and Tim Finn, The Finn Brothers, are set to release their first collaborative studio album in eight years, Everyone Is Here, on Aug. 24th on Nettwerk. "The last time we did a Finn Brothers record, it was kind of a side project in many ways in the timing of it," says Neil. "We only toured for a few weeks and we only took four weeks to make the album. This one we've been a lot more deliberate about and we want to give it its due and spread the word. We feel very, very proud of it." The track listing for Everyone Is Here is: 1. Won't Give In 2. Nothing Wrong With You 3. Anything Can Happen 4. Luckiest Man Alive 5. Homesick 6. Disembodied Voices 7. A Life Between Us 8. All God's Children 9. Edible Flowers 10. All of the Colours 11. Part Of Me, Part Of You 12. Gentle Hum Recorded in Los Angeles, the title reflects not only the musical reunion of the former Crowded House and Split Enz front men (Neil and Tim respectively) but also the involvement of both former and current musical cohorts. "Our roots are in live music, even if it's just me and Neil playing acoustic guitars together," says Tim. "It works better if there's more than one person working at a time and people playing off of each other. There's a lot of that on the record, and there's a really strong band feeling." Eager for more players to work off of, they involved many of the best musicians around: multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion, drummer Matt Chamberlain and two bass players: Sebastian Steinberg and Davey Faragher. On the production side they recruited Adam Kasper to record (Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age) with string arrangements by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex, Mercury Rev), then the brothers went one step further and brought in some familiar faces, producer Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Phantom Planet) and mixer Bob Clearmountain (The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Cure), both of whom many will remember as the production team behind Crowded House's catalogue. This marks the first time The Finn Brothers have been in a studio with Froom and Clearmountain since Crowded House's critically lauded album, Woodface. As Tim said, what would the Finns be without their live shows and to that end they will set off on a July run to give North American audiences the first listen to the new songs and coincide with the launch of the album's first single, "Won't Give In," at radio. A commemorative tour EP released exclusively online will also become available prior to the launch of the tour (more details to follow). Fans can also order it from Nettwerk's Werkshop.com website. I'm all excited - got my tix for the ______ show at the Vic Theatre here in the mail yesterday...

I'll start. JC is scared of Egg and Chips, ever since he choked on them as a child. His phobia is so bad that the high bit ("I don't wanna waste time, thinking 'bout it here and now babe") in "Here and now" was meant to be sung in a normal voice, but JC spotted a studio technician eating an egg butty, and the rest is history. It's all true, not a word of a lie. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Brady" To: ; ; Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 7:49 PM Subject: RE: OV: Hello....? Shall we start making up some rumours?

It was my mate who had a spare ticket for a Neil Finn concert. Didn't know much about him, but f**k me!, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Just a guy who loves music jamming with his band on stage. Pulled a few folk out of the audience to play along too. Taking suggestions from the crowd, having a laugh. It was a great buzz. Anyway, if you get the chance to see them, jump at it. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Holmquist" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 8:30 PM Subject: OV: NDC: Finn Brothers Just a quick question while we've got some emails going...

Well now, what I heard was this: Although everyone's been claiming that Jason Barr is none other than Justin Currie, they're wrong. You see, way back when Justin was 3 years old, his mom took him to the doctor with measles. Unbeknownst to them at the time, this doctor was fiddling with a bit of amateur genetics. He'd taken many samples from his patients in the few years previous, but Justin's sample was the first that took root. It's a wonder Justin and Jason never bumped into one another on some Glaswegian street. Then again, though they may sound the same, they ran in vastly different circles. Jason lived a rough life, which is why he appears the same age as Justin, though just under 4 years his junior. debbie - --- Joe Brady wrote: > > > Shall we start making up some rumours?
