Better yet, the members of Men at Work are musicians who know their limits and work with in them. Long After Dark Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Tom Petty and the Heart breakers play classic rock n' roll, with lots of muscular, sin ewy guitars, an occasional or gan swirl and a solid rhythm section Through four albums their basic approach has never varied much Their fifth album. "Long After Dark," is more of the same, no surprises and no disappoint ments There is something comforting in the knowledge that after all the year's fads pass there will always be a Tom Petty album "Long After Dark" shows The Heartbreakers mellowing a bit Their sound seems to lack the Gifts Continued from Page 11B Christmas Designworks, 1877 Willamette, 484-4608 Until December 15 the Gallery is showing recent seriographs by Jerry Schurr (ranging from $300 to $1,500) and one-of-a-kind quilts by Judy Foster (from $400 to $1,000) After Dec 15 they will feature contemporary original graphic works by international artists These will probably go for $150 to $1,000 They also do custom framing Hours are 10 a m to 6 p m Tuesday through Saturday and by appointment Opus 5, 2469 Hilyard, 484-1710 Through December Opus 5 is showcasing jewelry by Hannah Goldrich They also carry a wide selection of quilts, mirrors, wooden boxes, lamps, soft sculpture, stained glass, glass-blown works (including ornaments made from Mount St. Helen s ash), toys, hand bound books, weaving, and cards, all by local artists.

The Lords don t indulge in petty nihilism Eat Your Heart Out is the truest punk song and the most explosive music since The Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK" Stiv Bators' voice oozes scorn James, Tregunna and Turner kick up some of the most propulsive music in recent memory as the Lords attack the petty rich Where The Clash seem willing to sacrifice their music for their politics, The Lords avoid this trap by making their point and Continued on Page 4B V When you and a partner are wearing TOUCHCONES.
