I follow people that like Finn music, not an official Finn/Crowded House account, happy to unfollow, porn will be blocked, Some Finn's travel faster than light
Hi All, I only talk/follow open accounts that appear to like or show an interest in Finn music - I am happy to unfollow at anytime - the aim is to be positive not invasive ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ
Hi All, just to let you know I had to go into hospital for have a emergency appendectomy over the weekend. So I am feeling a bit rough ๐ nevertheless life goes on and hopefully I will back on better form soon. Tweets will happen but maybe less frequent for a while.

The magnificent Try Whistling This by Neil Finn ๐๐ถ๐ถ
"If someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place"
25 years ago today,
#CrowdedHouse
band vocalist
#NeilFinn
released his solo debut album,
#TryWhistlingThis
, to critical acclaim and commercial success. The effort topped the Australian and New Zealander charts, reached
#5
in the UK, and spawned the hit single,
#SheWillHaveHerWay
.
10 reasons to see Crowded House:
Excellent music
Great sound mix
Great audience/band banter
They are very funny
They often stray off the set list
They might jam
They take requests
You will definitely get a sing along
They often play songs with fans
No 2 gigs are the same. ๐ถ
RIP Hessie, gone too soon but never forgotten ๐ let's remember the laughter, fun and music he bought us ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ

This may not last - because frenz come and go , but currently there are 2000 of us in this little Finn community ๐ so I just wanted to say Hi to you all and thanks for all the great tweets.
Great that Neil Finn is using his new live release Live from the Seymour to support road crews affected by a loss of income as a result of the pandemic, where would bands be with out the people who move and set up the stage and kit?
Caught the end of Johnny Marr on Sky Art series on the Great Songwriters talking about Neil Finn as a "master songwriter" who embraces the mysteries of songwriting - hope it will be repeated, what I saw was fascinating.

joke at Birmingham, he said: he'd got a call from the Rolling Stones earlier to replace Jagger in Amsterdam because he was now the go to guy for that sort of thing ๐, but he'd said f**k off he was playing Birmingham with Crowded House that night ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Wishing all those I am following and all those who are following me a Happy New Year. Let's all hope 2021 bring us all some special Finn ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Sometimes I see people tweeting about this account as "that Crowded House bot" which I think is hilarious ๐ because I am very much a human with all the feelings, faults & failings of a human, albeit one who really likes Finn music & wants to spread the love & make connections๐ถ
This version of Oh Hi is beautiful, very reminiscent of the Our of Silence - Infinity sessions ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ

Hi All, it was a week today, that our great NHS swiftly removed my burst appendix๐ค. I went to A&E in the morning & by the evening they had operated. Next morning I gratefully discharged myself to home recovery. Thanks to all, for your good wishes, I'm feeling much better now ๐.
It's my twitterversary!
But I wouldn't be here without all of you my Frenz!
So let's celebrate with

A tweet for all our Frenz in New Zealand, we have heard you are facing some particularly grim weather, please stay safe over there and baton down the hatches. Thinking of you all ๐
I'm drawing up a playlist of songs that tell a story or have a strong narrative, they don't have to be Finn songs. Let me know your favourites & why you love them, I'll start:
Split Enz - Charlie
Crowded House - Mean to me
Squeeze - Up the junction
Here it is!

Thank you everyone. I love reading all your tweets about Crowded House and Finn music and music in general, you're a great group of people it's a pleasure to follow you all. ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ
I was 19, broke & living in a bedsit with only a crappy tape machine for company. I borrowed a double tape of Fleetwood Mac & Rumours from the local library & played it on repeat. Christine McVie's songs made the struggle bearable - "If you wake up & don't want to smile..."๐

An early review of
#GravityStairs
9/10
"Gravity Stairsย is the kind of album that rewards repeated listening. Finnโs songwriting opens like a flower, and the bandโs musical choices complement his genius at every turn"
โAn end comes because you canโt imagine the way forward. Then, sometimes a little door opens up, and you can imagine a beginning again.โ

Hi All, Happy Christmas Eve and I have just reached the limit of my follows โน๏ธ but I will still retweet and like and if you follow me I think I can still follow you back. If not I will try to find another way to sort things in the new year.
Warning to all I follow and who follow me. When it comes to Finn music I like a lot of tweets, I retweet a lot of tweets and I ask lots of stupid questions ๐๐. The aim is to spread the love and start chats if you don't want that please let me know and I will unfollow you
Temple of Lowmen was the "difficult 2nd album"- apparently there were no instant singles ๐ค, but Temple grows stronger with repeat listening & many consider it one of the CH greats.
It's chart success was variable:
Aus 1, Can 10, Get 57, Jap 75, Ned 49, NZ 2, UK 138, USA 40

Hi All, Crowded House - Whatever you want.
It has a pretty instant hook and earworm, it has upbeat energy, it has a funny vid clip harnessing the talent and popularity of Mac DeMarco - but what do you think? All reviews welcome ๐ถ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐
Neil Finn doing BBC Radio 2 Tracks of my years - week commencing 13 May 2024๐ถ๐ถ
I remember Tim Finn did it several years back and one of the songs he chose was the Move - Blackberry Way ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Happy New Year to all I follow & all who follow the Finn-ternet ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
As Marvin & Kim sang "It takes two ๐ถ" so thanks for all the songs, laughs & chats. Lets look forward to a positive music filled 2024.
#Finn365
is over now but there will be plenty more Fun Finn for 2024.
Afterglow is an odd album, Crowded House had split, it's an album of rejected songs that didn't make it on to the studio albums, yet it reached 18 in the UK charts for 2 weeks, with no singles or overt PR. Among devoted frenz like myself it's on regular rotation.
@ThatEricAlper
I'm not a big fan of Lady Gaga but this is a shitty, bullying thing to do. She deserves her success just for this. I hope they hear her highly successful music everywhere they go.
"As a piece of work in the Crowded House canon, Gravity Stairs more than holds its own. And in addition to the copper-bottomed songcraft quality now taken as given for this band, thereโs a new sense of diversity in these compositions."
@kimberlyjoyner_
Not quite, Tim Finn was the main front man of Split Enz with Phil Judd, when Phil left, Tim bought in Neil Finn, his brother. Over time Neil's contributions grew when he began to write songs for the Enz. When the Enz split, Neil Finn went on to front Crowded House.
