Sad news Rock, loved the Divinyls, they were one of the big Aussie bands of the 80s.
Great choices, I always loved this song too.

Yeah, the good thing is that she is no longer in any pain. She, Chrissie Hynde, and Joan Jett really had balls. Didn't care too much for their later pop songs, but Only Lonely, Boys in Town, Science Fiction, and Elsie measure up with any of the best new wave songs of the early 80's. The Catholic school boy in me really loved her uniform and saddle shoes look. And that glow in the dark mike stand was way cool.
Seriously, for those of you who only know the Divinyls through Pleasure and Pain and I Touch Myself, you really need to check out the above 4 songs. If you don't, it will by like never checking our pre-Saturday Night Fever Bee Gees. Missing out on Lonely Days or New York Mining Disaster 1941 or I Started a Joke would seriously deprive you of knowing the seminal work of the Bee Gees. So, too, would not hearing early Divinyls.

Man I always loved that song "I Touch Myself." Not the least of which because when it came out I had a girlfriend that looked a lot like her (same hair color, bangs in the eyes look). Man, I wish I was young again so I could make all those mistakes all over again! RIP.
