The Finn brothers! Fantastic! My personal Split Enz fave is "I Got You" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv6oOxn1axw]. Never heard their cover of Hunters & Collectors' "Throw..." before, but it happens to be one of my all time favorite Aussie tunes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H2Dl4bfySM].
Great memory... It was a H&C song that first turned me on to alternative music: "Inside a Fireball" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpOHRYHNIS4]. I got fed up with my boring commercial FM station on the drive in to work one morning, so I started searching the dial and couldn't believe my ears when "Fireball" came up on WUSC. The energy! I became immediately and forever hooked on college radio.

While I'm at it, I've gotta give a shout out to another great 80's Australian band, The Saints. Their song "Just Like Fire Would" is simply bonzer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUAjmuYmF_0].

Say, the yousendit link to "I Hope I Never" is the same as the link to the song preceding it.
Just wondering if you can fix it when you get back from vacation.
