Ep109 Thrashin' Ferals w/ MiG Ayesa! (SongDivision!)

How do you measure... measure a guest? In AWESOMENESS, that's how! Because this week we're joined by a literal Thrashin' Treasure, the iconic MiG Ayesa! (Say what?! *Faints!*) In this episode, this rock star in excess of any who've joined us before chats with Mr J Wags and AW about Def Leppard's Pyromania, before jumping on a taxi and heading to the 'FAME' schoolsical with the original London cast. Plus, we chat The Ferals, RENT's fandom and social impact, the Original Aussie cast of RENT, Rock Star: INXS, vocal care, and SOOO much more in this hilariously fun episode!

"i think hes got a lot of guts and hes totally camp and outrageous." - michael hutchence on Freddie Mercury, who died 33 years ago today

my favourite michael and freddie story comes from the inxs autobiography. such an iconic duo. 🤭

While I appreciate all the Velvet Goldmine, I need IWTV fandom to get a crash course in Michael Hutchence and all of INXS

Main inspirations: Velvet Goldmine, Maneskin, Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, etc.

[cutielando]

so I just saw the sleep token themed smau you did and it gave me an idea: reader is the daughter of a big new wave rockstar from the 80s (like someone from INXS or Duran Duran), and she’s started dating a driver (Alex or Mick) and now there’s a whole generation of fans who are like ‘her dad is who??? in what band???’

I just thought it could be neat, seeing two of my special interests merge like that lmao god I love the eighties-

Hi! Just wanted to pop over and tell you how much I LOVE your stories and the way that you write! I love it all: the angst, the humor, the amazing way that you shape your characters, EVERYTHING! ALSO I love the way that you weave music into your stories. I am curious to know how music influences your writing/how it factors into your writing process. Do you associate certain songs/artists with stories/characters that you write? Lots of love, and thanks for sharing your beautiful stories! xo KP

Ahh what a delightful comment and question to answer! Thank you so much. Music is a HUGE part of the creative process for me. I’m almost always listening to it (other than when I’m actually writing b/c it’s too distracting - ha!) and lyrics, melodies, or just the feelings certain songs evoke can build pictures in my mind. I’ve definitely launched entire stories on the backs of songs -- particularly Bending Light and Unexpected Best Night Ever. BL was predicated on a lyric by an indie/emo band called Pinegrove that goes, “What’s the worst that could happen? End of summer and I’m still in love with her,” which just encapsulated Draco’s whole mindset plus the summer setting of that story. UBNE is all about Draco being a rockstar and is named after a sadly now-defunct YouTube Music playlist that I loved. Teach Me How to Forget is named after a Jason Isbell song and very influenced in tone and spirit by the album Harry’s House by Harry Styles. Just Like Christmas is an old-fashioned songfic based on the classic indie Christmas tune by Low. And sometimes when I’m writing a scene, a song will inform it so completely that I listen to it on repeat to keep myself in the zone. Never Tear Us Apart by INXS and Pitseleh by Elliot Smith come to mind for different scenes in Bending Light. And I’m convinced T Swift wrote Snow on the Beach for a scene in Falling Dark (LOL). 

AND in the non-fic arena, I just finished my second OC novel and it’s about musicians -- one famous and one his biggest fan -- who have to live next door to each other for a summer and try (for various reasons) not to fall in love. I’m shopping it around to agents now, so keep your fingers collectively crossed for me!! 

Thanks again for this wonderful ask. I really enjoyed answering. xoxo ~Scully

Hi!! I got into rock/metal music(which I know has many subgenres) in my late 20s rather than teens like most fans. Your White Flame series really threw me in a loop and I love it!

What subgenres/bands would modern!Rockstar Aemond like in your opinion?

Also what are some of your favorite bands?  Appreciate you❤️

Aemond as bass guitarist would be into INXS and Kajagoogoo for sure even tho they are not typical rock bands, beside that I see him as a fan of Guns n Rose's and Led Zeppelin.

As for me, I love Rammstein, Electric Light Orchestra, Guns n Rose's, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, AC/DC and ZZ Top 💕

Love you so much!!!!!!!

Too bad I wasn’t alive back then because damn he was pretty. RIP Micheal

Rockstar INXS Full Epsiode 3 Elimination

[rocketrouquine]

The lyrics….

Don't ask me what you know is true Don't have to tell you I love your precious heart I was standing, You were there… Two worlds collided. And they could never tear us apart

We could live For a thousand years. But if I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears. I told you that we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why

Ok, ok….

Since we’re finally getting rockstar Lestat, can we all agree Sam Reid should do Australia proud by channeling Michael Hutchence for the role?

Youths, if you’re unfamiliar with INXS, hit YouTube and watch them live.

You won’t be sorry.

Daily Snark 9/26/24 American Idol

One of the only singing competitions I enjoyed was Rockstar INXS.

Not only were the contestants talented, and interesting, the House Band was phenomenal. 

The American Idol band… Not so much.

I can’t remember the contestant, but there was a kid who gave Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, by The Police, a go, and it was nothing short of a disaster.

The band had no clue what they were doing, and the singer… Even one of the judges, Kara DioGuardi, I believe, said, “Don’t do that. Why would you do that?”

(And this from someone who wrote songs for Paris Hilton, and Hillary Duff.)

I think Dave Grohl said it best: 

“When I think about kids watching a TV show like American Idol or The Voice, then they think, ‘Oh, OK, that’s how you become a musician, you stand in line for eight f*****g hours with 800 people at a convention center and… then you sing your heart out for someone and then they tell you it’s not f****n’ good enough.’ Can you imagine?” he implores. “It’s destroying the next generation of musicians! Musicians should go to a yard sale and buy an old f*****g drum set and get in their garage and just suck. And get their friends to come in and they’ll suck, too. And then they’ll f*****g start playing and they’ll have the best time they’ve ever had in their lives and then all of a sudden they’ll become Nirvana. Because that’s exactly what happened with Nirvana. Just a bunch of guys that had some s****y old instruments and they got together and started playing some noisy-a** s**t, and they became the biggest band in the world. That can happen again! You don’t need a f*****g computer or the internet or The Voice or American Idol.” 

(Censored for YouTubes delicate algorithm. Sorry.)

TVL: S1/S2 Mix

I made a youtube playlist imagining one potential outcome of rockstar Lestat summarizing the first two seasons of AMC IWTV musically. You can probably tell I'm a beige millennial. Notes below allude to S1/S2 plot points and are hopefully not super spoilery but I've hidden them if you are worried about that and/or want to listen from a clean slate or something.

Also now that I've gotten this one out of my head, I hope to find everyone else's TVL playlists.

(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Cat Power - Where we meet our future rockstar moping in the final episode of S2. I was sorely tempted to start off with Sympathy for the Devil because the end of the OG movie still slaps, so I added this nod to the Stones. 

Heart of Gold, Tori Amos - Seems appropriate for Lestat’s S1 arrival in New Orleans, having crossed an ocean and all. Tori ppl are torn on this cover but I love it, it's like two covers in one.

This Magic Moment, Lou Reed - Double dipped on songs for S1E1. 

Need You Tonight, INXS - Lestat’s number one fear is loneliness. “I’m LONELY. (dramatic exhale)” 

Night in my Veins, The Pretenders - A delightful S1 “all these vamps are horny” track. 

Kiss with a Fist, Florence + the Machine - I’m sorry, I’m sorry, this is a horrible choice for the scary S1 mom and dad are fighting episode.

Bad Romance, Lady Gaga - I can absolutely imagine Lestat scream singing “I want your love / and I want your revenge / I want your love / I don’t wanna be friends” and the RAAH RAAH connects to Long Face.

Hunter, Bjork - To beat Lestat you have to become Lestat. A song for Claudia. 

Melt, Siouxsie and the Banshees - S1 finale song. 

Lucretia My Reflection, Sisters of Mercy - Welcome to S2. Let’s liven up Louis and Claudia’s dreadful Eastern European vacay. Plus empire rhymes with vampire, Lucretia/Daciana, idk I’m stretching, whatever!

Gimme Danger, The Stooges - Lestat mocking Armand. “Little stranger,” along with the master dynamic. 

Gloria, Patti Smith - Inspired by Lestat with the crucifix on his shoulder busting up the Paris coven. 

Venus in Furs, DeVotchka - Another sort of general horniness song, this time for S2. 

Sunspots, Nine Inch Nails - I’m so so sorry, this is for S2E5.

Warm Blood, Carly Rae Jepsen - For Claudia and Madeleine. 

Dream Girl Evil, Florence + the Machine - What if the trial didn’t have to go that way? What if Lestat just showed up and sang this to Louis? Even if the rest of this playlist is trash (and it ISN’T), connecting Dreamstat to Dream Girl Evil is my proudest moment.

Die by the Drop, Dead Weather - Louis finding out about Armand’s betrayal. 

Celebrity Skin, Hole - Alternate track for the Long Face video

Long Face, The Vampire Lestat - OOH OOH OOH, WAH AHHHHH

On April 14, 2006, INXS released their last album, only album with RockStar INXS contest winner JD Fortune, Switch in dual disc format: a disc with audio on one side and DVD on the other.
