Places that really don’t get to see us that often, little towns you know,"” to dye their hair with peroxide in the sink at home, so it was dyed by their own hands,’’ Hutchence says. ‘‘I thought that was an interesting case of semantics going on . . . so I turned it into the song. It’s actually much more positive than it sounds. It’s not about suicide. X, with the bulk of the songs writ- ten by Hutchence and Farriss, is ini: of the rawness INXS has says Michael Hi lead singer of the sextet. “We could obviously do much bigger shows in Australia,”’ says produced in previous albums — rhythmic rock mixed with a dab of funk. ‘We're a hybrid, you know,” guitarist and Andrew Farriss. ‘But we feel it’s a good way to start off the tour because it’s grounding for us.”” The tour promoting their newly released X album will wind around the globe through Southeast Asia and Europe, reaching North America sometime in January. The first single from the album, Suicide Blonde, is already scurrying up the charts. The song’s title has spurred some confusion among listeners who won- der just what a suicide blonde is. Hut- chence explains that it’s simply a term that was used in the 1940s for a shade of hair dye. “It was hard times, everyone used Hi says. And as the band's main songwriters, Hutchence, 30, and Farriss, 31, take their jobs seriously. “You've got to move to music or music has to move you, or you shouldn’t do it, in my opinion,”’ ays Farriss. ‘‘You've got to be interested and want to move something around whether it’s people’s emotions, in- terest or loins or something of that nature."’ “But we don’t write something purely to dance to; there’s a sense of rhythm, there’s a sense of life,”’ adds Hutchence. He warns that if you get too in- troverted in your approach to VCR users face tough tape choices Editor’s note: The following in- isp by the of the Better Business Bureau. As the holidays approach, you may be stocking up on blank video tapes so you can record special family moments or holiday TV specials. To make the memories last longer, here are some tips on choosing and storing video tapes. When shopping for video tapes, you may be confused by all the terms used to describe tape quality. These terms include standard, high quality, high grade, and so on. How do you choose among the various grades? The answer may be right on the package. Some manufacturers tell you which tape grade is appropriate for your recording needs. To record your own videos with a camcorder or portable VCR, choose a high-grade tape for a clearer picture and better sound. One manufacturer Suggests using a tape-based head- cleaner before you begin to record. For recordings you don’t want to save, like soap operas and news programs, a standard quality tape may be your best choice. Don’t pinch pennies, however, by buying bargain tapes that don’t list a brand name. According to the Elec- tronic Industries Association, these tapes may be so inferior that they ac- tually damage your VCR. Some con- tain splices, where two ends have been taped together, that may get caught in your machine. They may also cause an excess build-up of film on the VCR upright, away ity. Do not keep them on top of your television or VCR where high magnetic fields may harm them. Alsé’do not store any tape in the VCR. Return the tape uf its protective jacket finished viewing it. Tapes generally last 200 hours of record and play. To prevent tapes from sticking, the Electronic In- dustries A iati after you’ songwriting, you can ‘‘get wigged out in sad, miserable tales."" | Rounding out INXS are Farriss’ brothers, Jon and Tim, Kirk Pengilly and Garry Gary Beers. They began as a band out of Sydney called The Farriss Brothers in 1977, while most members were still in high school. They toured the Australian pub cir- cuit, developing a huge following. The guys credit those pub days with giving them the power to negotiate contracts with record companies without compromising their own visions for the band. “We were signed because we had created something already, we weren't made into anything and that’s the way we've always run it,” Hut chence says.

Members of the Western Canada Wilderness Committee said the van- dalism apparently took place during the weekend. Loggers were blocking access roads to the valley Saturday but a spokesman said they weren’t respon- sible for the vandalism. “*We had about three kilometres of boardwalk in there, a beautiful bridge over the canyon (on Carmanah Creek), and a cabin at the tree where we have a platform in the canopy,"’ said committee director Joe Foy. “*We were told by the RCMP that somebody burned up that cabin, ran a chainsaw down the centre of the bridge and. ripped up hundreds of metres of boardwalk.”” The valley is home to some of the world’s tallest spruce trees.

Port Alberni loggers have been blocking the road into the Carmanah on southern Vancouver Island in recent weekends to protest against an environmental campaign that they say will cost loggers their jobs. Ninety loggers turned away several carloads of tourists last weekend and the loggers promised more blockades in the future. One of the organizers of the blockade, Port Alberni faller Simon de Waal, said he was questioned by the RCMP on Monday night. ds between himself and Nicole Par- ton, a former newspaper columnist. Echoing estimates that conservative Christians make up about one-quarter of the Socred membership, Gray said: “I’m convinced they (Socred of- ficials) don’t want to lose that 25 per cent.”” He urged Christians to stay in the party for the sake of pro-family values and private enterprise. Former cabinet minister Grace McCarthy said last week that the con- servative Christians who are angry at the party because the so-called Christianity clause has been deleted from the party’s constitution are zealots. If they leave, that means ‘‘many more people will now join,’’ she said. Disagreeing with McCarthy's zealot label, Gray said the public should “recognize the rising tide of Christophobia for what it is: Bigotry.”’ “*You do not have to agree with us, but common civility requires that you Kootenay Cattle Co & YORKSHIRE PUDDING $g95 INCLUDES SOUP AND SALAD BAR my PRIME RIB E/ y Brunch Wi SERVING DINNER Mon.-Sat. 5 p.m.-10 p.m.; Sun. 5 p.m.-9 p.m RICHARD CALKIN 364-0 Used vehicles purchased after Jan. 1, 1991 willbe subject to 7% G.S.T BUY NOW, SAVE NOW!
