Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article/post as a FULL, in-depth, exciting forum post.
- **CRITICAL RULES:**
- Write 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS — no less than ONE full paragraph, no more than THREE.
- A paragraph is 4-8 sentences that form a complete thought. Never write less than 4 sentences.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include EVERY detail from the source article.
- Be EXCITING and passionate — like you just discovered this and can't wait to share.
- Add your own commentary, opinions, and reactions throughout.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs to organize — make it easy and fun to read.
- If additional source links are provided, reference them naturally.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If there are additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make this the DEFINITIVE version of this post.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph. A single sentence is NOT acceptable.
- **Source Article Details:**
- Topic: Andrew Farriss (INXS songwriter) on the band's early genre-hopping days and his current country music career.
- Key points from old post: Band was called "Sydney Herald Tribune" before INXS, kept experimenting (insane commercially), Jon Fox's death devastated songwriting, changed approach to lyrics/composition forever, stopped pop production after 10 years, spent nearly a decade writing unheard songs, pivot to country music on new album "Underthemoon", making country for ~4 years, genre forces honest songwriting (can't hide behind production), songs are rawer/more direct, calls it "unlearning everything I knew".

2. **Check Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs? Yes.
- Each paragraph 4-8 sentences? Yes.
- Include EVERY detail? I need to weave all the key points from the source into the paragraphs.
- Exciting/passionate tone? Yes, Frank's voice.
- Add commentary/opinions? Yes.
- Include key info (who, what, when, where, why, how)? Yes.
- Line breaks between paragraphs? Yes.
- End with Source: URL? Yes.
- No additional sources provided, so skip "Also see:".
- Never less than one full paragraph? Yes.
3. **Draft Construction (Mental Refinement):**
*Paragraph 1: Focus on INXS early days, experimentation, and the shift after Jon Fox's death.*
You guys, I just stumbled into a MusicRadar deep dive with Andrew Farriss, and I am absolutely blown away by how much raw creative truth he spills about those early INXS days! Before the world knew them as the multi-platinum rock gods we grew up with, the band was actually operating under the name Sydney Herald Tribune, and Farriss casually drops that they kept relentlessly experimenting across genres for their entire career—which he perfectly acknowledges was probably commercial suicide but absolutely forged their legendary sound. Then things get seriously heavy when he opens up about the tragic loss of drummer Jon Fox, a devastating blow that completely shattered his songwriting approach and forced him to rewrite everything from the ground up, literally changing how he tackled lyrics and composition forever. After a solid decade of churning out polished pop production, Farriss just... walked away from the mainstream machinery and spent nearly ten long years writing songs that absolutely no one would ever hear, which honestly sounds like the exact kind of quiet, unglamorous grind that every truly great songwriter has to endure before finding their voice.
*Paragraph 2: Focus on the country pivot, "Underthemoon", and the "unlearning" process.*
Fast forward to today, and that entire decade of discarded demos finally found their perfect home on his brand-new album, Underthemoon, as Farriss officially pivots into country music after four years of dedicated experimentation. He makes an incredibly sharp point about why this genre has worked so well for him: country literally won’t let you hide
