"For the world, not for the war"-Neil Finn
Neil Finn has reunited with Crowded House bandmate Nick Seymour for his next solo album, which he plans to release next year.
Finn tells Billboard.com that bassist Seymour "has been with me the whole time" on the album, and that "working together again feels really good. It felt natural and right. We've been good company for each other." Finn says that Crowded House drummer Paul Hester's death in 2005 helped bring the two musicians together again.
"You do seek each other out," he says. "The day we heard what happened with Paul, we were about to play a show at Albert Hall, my brother [Tim] and I. We decided we had to continue. And I rang Nick; he was the one I wanted to have there. There's some kind of strong bond still, as you would expect, I suppose."
Finn says he's "just about done" with the album, which will be his first solo set of new material since "One Nil" in 2001 (he released the live "Seven Worlds Collide in 2002 and an album with his brother, "Everyone is Here," in 2004.) His wife and two sons appear on the set, which features strings on three tracks. It's being produced by Ethan Johns and recorded mostly at Finn's studio in Auckland and mixed at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios in England.
"It's a pretty emotional record, I think," says Finn, who recently moved to England full-time. "It's hard for me to evaluate, 'cause I'm so close to it now. But I think it's fairly simple, which I'm really happy about. There's a lot of heart in the record, which I'm happy about, too."
Finn plans to tour in support of the album and expects Seymour to be part of the band. As previously reported, the two will revisit their Crowded House past with the Jan. 16 release of "Farewell to the World," separate CD and DVD packages chronicling the band's Nov. 24, 1996 farewell concerts in Sydney.

I watched the show on VHS years ago and let me tell you, if you watch the entire thing and not just clips, there is no 'almost' I never cry at movies, but those things can really get me. When someone posted the youtube link to the Paul Hester tribute here, I was really glad to have my own office

I finally managed to listen to Tim Finn's new album. I hardly ever love an album after the first listen, but that's exactly what happened with this one. I got the version with the bonus DVD of the BJB-Sessions with old friends like 'How Will You Go', 'I Hope I Never' and 'Angels Heap' - which I didn't watch at work of course *cough* I have no idea why the text on the artwork of the CD is in German though

I saw them twice a long time ago over here in Holland. I have been playing their records for ages and some of their songs are really ageless.
I still have a picture of me and the bassist from Crowded House somewhere. I was so young back than...haha, the good old days.
Me and my sister walked with him to the hotel after the concert and he was a really sympathetic and relaxed guy. We talked a lot about photography and that he had the same camera as my sister.
Lovely memory...
Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?

I just checked on Neil's website and they said the Crowded House dvd, "Farewell to the World" won't be released in US til Jan. so we just might have to wait a little longer

recording of a show neil did in LA on 12/6 - quality isn't that great (especially hearing people yell out song requests lol), but even still...it's neil! couple new songs in the beginning. and listening to 'throw your arms around me' right now....divine.
very interesting watching the farewell to the world DVD. i did see the concert back when it was originally broadcast but this was different now with Paul gone etc.
interesting to watch all the interviews and just see how no one really seemed confortable with it being over, except paul. mark and nick wanted to keep going pretty obviously.
didn't know about how/why tim joined and left so quickly either until now.
i have the DVD on preorder, it doesn't get released in the US till january 16th. i'm very excited and curious to see it though. i read an article the other day with neil talking about what it was like putting that dvd together, how emotional it was for him to watch it again now with paul gone....i'll have to find the link again and post here for you guys to read. the way that all went down was odd for sure
I have loved the Finn Brothers since they broke here in Oz with "I See Red" and I have grown up with them and watched them mature like fine red wine. They are truly extraordinary artisans and I look forward to watching them continue to improve with age.:) Oh and I think, as much I would love to claim them as Aussies, thet New Zealand should be very proud to call them sons.

I only managed to watch the bonus features up to now. There are a lot of old interviews with Paul Hester and there are new ones with Neil Finn and Nick Seymour too. Crowded House never were big in Austria, so I hadn't seen any of the interviews and press conferences before. I'm really curious if there's a boot from the 'soundcheck' the day before the gig though after watching that DVD.
