    oh wow nadia, that tribute clip brought tears to my eyes, especially when everyone sings the last line together. that song alone is just so gorgeous, what a really touching tribute by neil. breaks my heart to see him so visibly sad.

    on brighter news, i stopped by amoeba records and scored the out-of-print copy of the '95 release of finn brothers!! and on sale even, woohoo

    That is TOO cool!! You are SO lucky to have seen them live, Split Enz AND Crowded House.

    My oldest brother got the Best of Split Enz and listened to it when I was a younging, and I heard Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over" I didn't see the Neil connection until YEARS and YEARS later! Thank goodness for 7 World's Collide for getting me into everything FINN! :D

    For all of you Hester fans, here is a touching tribute that Neil did dedicated to Paul. It made me cry when I first saw it. enjoy it

    Thanks for the post.

    What a touching tribute. I really don't know he was able to keep his composure. I'd never get through it.

    ah, a Finn thread! I LOVE the Finns. have loved Crowded House since back in the day (I was lucky enough to see them in concert) and am mad for the Finns (together and solo)...listen to their music all the time (with some PJ thrown in every so often!) when I learned that Ed had collaborated with the Finns at the 7WC show, I about passed out. it's like my two worlds collided. Neil and Ed are my two favorite musicians ever.

    I was in New Zealand earlier this year and was out for a run one morning...who did I pass by on the sidewalk?? none other than Neil Finn, out for a run with his dogs. and yesterday I passed Ed on the sidewalk in downtown Seattle. I was over the moon both times, if I got to see them in concert together I would probably start sobbing out of sheer happiness

    Does anyone remember the ALT project? Tim Finn, Liam O' Maonlai from the Hothouse Flowers and a guy named Andy White. There were some really funny interviews on MTV back then.

    yeah i see enz albums in the record shop all the time, so you should be able to find them. probably also available on amazon, though i'd suggest the local record shop, support small bidness :)

    and i've been hooked on this song for today

    And B, THANK u once again for burning me the Finn Brothers cd from 1995. I LOVE that album!! Only Talking Sense is such a GREAT song and thanks for putting up the video!

    and WOHOOOO, for NEW Tim and Neil stuff!! you all should read Tim's blog on MySpace. It is pretty insightful on what he is doing. :)

    I think 7 Worlds Collide is my most played DVD. It never gets old...

    Great news. I've heard a Neil Finn (or crowded house/finn brothers) about 6 times now at a Qdoba restaurant. I don't go to them that often either.

    yup i'm very excited, i'm so curious to hear what he's done. and he's wonderful live, so i'm equally psyched for a tour...next to PJ, he's the only other performer i'd make a concerted effort to see.

    and re-reading what he said:

    "tanks are shooting" - what sort of village is he living in?? haha crazy kiwi :p
