Tim and Mary are back to stare boldly into the face of another news cycle that seems to get a bit darker by the day. With the Bible’s exhortation to stay alert and awake in hand, we try and make sense of several topics. Iran is first up. Who will strike first, America or Israel? Of course, Israel has threatened to go after Iran for probably 10 years now, so something WILL get done. And with Iran’s own brand of prophecy, as they await their last days leader, they represent an immovable object. There is no negotiating with them. We also look further at Ai, last week’s news of Moltbook as a bot social media platform was entertaining enough. Today’s headline is something about bots looking for humans to do tasks for them and pay them in crypto. Scam, or testing the waters to see how gullible we are? We may never know. We also look at the dark shadow of transgendering our kids, a shameful chapter in American history brought to you by people who hate America, the family unit, and our kids especially. So much to chat about, a full hour of wondering what in the world is next while keeping our lamps trimmed and shining brightly.
Australia Day Weekend 2026 saw the coming together of many INXS fans and patrons of this show for a special commemoration of what would have been Michael Hutchence's 66th birthday. It was a fantastic bus trip commencing from the iconic Northern Beaches in Sydney. Attendees were greeted with a video acknowledgment from the sax god Kirk Pengilly and recent podcast guest Gary Grant (Former Tour Manager). We proceeded to famous INXS landmarks such as Clontarf Beach (the "Stay Young" video landmark), a Brookvale Industrial building where they rehearsed and gigged in 1979 and the Intercontinental Hotel where we lost Michael. Later that night, it went straight to the Dee Why RSL for the fantastic Don't Change The Ultimate INXS Tribute Show gig, in front of over 650+ passionate, proud and energetic fans to witness 30 blistering tracks, including one Midnight Oil song paying tribute to the recent passing of drummer Rob Hirst. With the DC Boys paying homage to the 40th anniversary of Listen Like Thieves, the band proceeded to play the entire album plus 19 other songs from Underneath the Colours through to the X album. Big shoutout to all those who contributed and won their respective raffle prizes, and to all those who contributed to a great weekend and Bee's tireless efforts. Finally, with a chunky news section catching up on fascinating INXS updates, it's also an opportunity to share some major changes to our podcast. You'll need to stay tuned until the “final wrap” to find out. Love and peace https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/ listenlikefans@gmail.com
Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!In Season 5 (2025), we talked about how double albums came about, and talked about some of the best double albums of the 70's.

Midnight Oil Definitely Got Burned - Episode 29 Show Notes Welcome to Episode 29! – 3:27 Could there be a few more roadblocks set to getting this episode out in an already busy part of my calendar? Ep. 28 saw great numbers and a huge contribution to the recent surge was Denethar graciously interviewing me on Azeroth United and I am very grateful. Also, I'm darn tired and dying to upload this episode, so notes may be a bit short this episode “What have you done lately?” – 9:43 The IRL boss certainly got its licks in over the past 30 days, with school starting up, a sick relative, moving my entire WoW and recording setup and stuff and bookcases and books up to a new location in our house. But, it was the confusion around the Midnight launch announcement that really was the biggest roadblock for me diving into this episode. “What ELSE have you done lately?” – 21:38 First I checked out completely and leveled my Earthen monk in MoP (not even Classic). When I returned to K'arech, I did a small pile of Delves, finally hit Story Mode and the Follower Dungeon, but perhaps most exciting was earning the P.O.S.T. Master's Express Hearthstone from Katy Stampwhistle and her impromptu mailroom in Tazavesh. And if you ever wondered if you lose a Great Vault if the week passes and you earn another one, you don't. I tested it for you. Your welcome. Drink of the Month – 58:42 For a break from collecting bees and honey in Stormsong Valley for Ecological Succession, I head over to The Golden Flagon in Brennadam. “Nasty” Buck serves up a Mildenhall Mead. Nostalgia Moment – 1:02:17 A new segment for WoW moments that take me back. In the inaugural segment, remember one retired podcast, Azeroth Public Radio and one mostly retired podcast, the Goblin Goldcast after hearing Mac on Lion's Pride Tavern! Go check out LPT! Both are SQ's forefathers. News – 1:14:56 Legion Remix coming on Oct. 7 and bits of the Midnight features come in 11.2.7, like character cap of 70. Apple's iOS 26 will have a feature that can boost voices in its Podcast listening app by suppressing background music and noise. DON'T USE IT or I will be sad with you. Main Topic: Midnight Announcement Kerfuffle – 1:24:13 The Gamescom announcement was a bit of a mess that took a couple of weeks to sort out, and this seems like a strange mistake for Blizzard. Second mistake was the timing that saw the Midnight cinematic spoil the Manaforge Omega raid for anyone planning on LFR and Story Mode people unless you did it immediately after weekly reset. This launch featured less mystery as well All combined for much lower hype levels for me. Midnight features of interest to me with my thoughts: Level cap to 90 New or renovated zones of Eversong Woods, Zul'Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm Character news: Haranir allied race, Void Elves as DHs, and a 3rd DH spec End game: 8 Dungeons, 3 Raids with 9 total bosses (but only 2 with Story Mode – WTF Blizz?), 10 Delves plus a Nemesis Delve Prey system is a neat idea for optional challenge Community Events return with some variety and in all zones Experiences for new and returning players getting needed updates and options UI improvements continue by targeting damage meters, encounter assistance, and name plate info; the beginning of Blizz bringing some add-on functions into the game The janky launch made it difficult to be positive about Midnight. Looking forward to that feeling fading into the past. SQ Mailbag – 2:08:11 You all responded!

Triple J, the kings of alternative and underground radio since 1975 just held their public vote for Australia's greatest 100 songs of all time with some 2.65 million people voting. That's nearly 10% of the entire Australian population!!! It's with pride, joy, exultation and somewhat genuine surprise, that INXS' 1987 classic “Never Tear Us Apart” came in at number one despite stiff opposition from iconic acts such as AC/DC, Midnight Oil, Crowded House, Nick Cave and Gotye. Originally, darlings of the early Triple J movement back in 1982, INXS were later promoted heavily by more commercial FM radio stations like Triple and Fox FM particularly as their career soared globally in chart, touring and record sales were concerned. As such, INXS were often overlooked in previous polls which particularly in 1992 with their incredible Welcome to Wherever you Are, a sticking point for ardent fans. This poll win soothes the hearts of many. With Need you Tonight and Don't Change featuring as well, INXS' inclusion is a true victory for what Triple J's mission statement espouses, namely “the world's greatest music democracy”!! So we peel back how this awesome result came to fruition, tackle the time honoured debate and battles of Indie music vs the mainstream and most importantly why Never Year Us Apart as a song has grown in stature over the last 37 years!!! On Sunday 10th August at 8 pm we will also be doing our first "Watch Party" via facebook. Gathering the global INXS fans, to watch INXS's Live Baby Live being played with new commentry, on Australia's Channel & and Channel & Plus. Follow this link to find out more. https://www.facebook.com/share/1C5eBzcPvh/ Final days until we draw our latest raffle "A Bag Full of INXS Goodies" buy 5 tickes get 5 free. $20 a ticket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGXxzgRaG5Q&list=RDqGXxzgRaG5Q&start_radio=1
