Day Eleven — A Song From My Favorite Band:

Uhm. Yeah … INXS is my favorite band. Ever. I’d say that it was all because of Michael Hutchence, but then explain to me why I’m still going to see them in con­cert at the end of July? (I. Can’t. Wait !!! )

I don’t know … there’s some­thing about their music that makes me smile. It brings up lots of mem­o­ries for me when­ever I hear one of their songs.

Like when­ever I hear “The One Thing,” I think of buy­ing Star Hits mag­a­zines back in 1983 and watch­ing that video on MTV (again, back when they actu­ally played music videos!) with my cousin.

Or when­ever I hear “What You Need” … I think of every sin­gle cheesy high school dance I had ever gone to.

“Dis­ap­pear” is inher­ently a happy song; both in lyrics and in the music. I’m think­ing that’s why, when the album “X” was released dur­ing my sec­ond year of col­lege, it sud­denly became our dorm room floor’s drink­ing song. Yep; that and the B-52’s “Roam.”

(What is it about rem­i­nisc­ing my col­lege days lately?)

We were SO lucky to meet the band in 1986, before they blew up BIG

This, by no means, is my absolute favorite INXS song. I have waaaay too many favorite INXS songs to choose from. “Dis­ap­pear” just hap­pens to be a great song.

Besides I like this video. And I can no longer find the orig­i­nal “Don’t Change” video … which would oth­er­wise have been posted for today’s song.
