Got the Love?

Babe of the Week

The Babe of the Week this week is Nicholas Brendan, a.k.a Alexander Lavelle Harris. Why? Here's why.

Bright Lights, Brisbane City

The Sulphur Lights are three fine boys from Brisbane Town. Kathy Pollock kidnapped them and held them at gun point, playing Rick Springfield and John Cougar over and over for five hours until they broke down and answered her questions. They cried a lot and told her terrible secrets. Later on she set them free and typed up this interview. Enjoy.

Our first four questions are multiple choice, a get-to-know-you, if you will. Here goes.

1. How would you most describe The Sulphur Lights sound?

a. Funky

b. Bombastic

c. Jiggy

d. Dangerous

Funky and Dangerous- it looks like this:

2. Which film character would you most liken yourself to?

a. Ace Ventura, Pet Detective

b. The Kid (Prince in Purple Rain)

c. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

d. Jaws

Ace Ventura.

3. Which light would  you most describe your personalities as being?

a. A fluorescent light in a call centre hallway, with a wilted pot plant underneath struggling to stay alive in the harsh glow

b. A dim bedside lamp with a beaded, hand woven shade

c. A strobe light in a school disco

d. One of those multi-coloured candles that you always see in share-houses on the verandah with the wick buried beneath melted wax and cigarette butts

A strobe light in a school disco.

4. If you opened a packet of Tim Tams and a genie popped out and granted you one wish, would it be?

a. An endless supply of Tim-Tams, including all the limited flavours like Dark Forest

b. Billions of dollars in cold hard cash

c. True love

d. A puppy of your very own that is a cross-breed of any kind of dog you desire

D, A puppy.

Now for the hard questions.....

5. What was the first record you ever bought?

Some 90s pop music compilation. Don't remember what it was, Smash Hits or something.

6. What was the worst record you ever bought? 

Same as above.

7. Explain the origins of The Sulphur Lights in one funny sentence?

Two friends fire drummer and find jazz musician weirdo replacement.

8. What's the most uncouth, off the hook thang to ever happen on tour?

We only ever went on tour once because we are lazy and poor. One particular night on that tour I got far too drunk and forgot how the songs went, smashed my guitar and had to be carried home passed out. 

9. If you became mega rich and famous, what out-of-control things would you demand on your backstage rider?
Lasers of varying intensities, bottles of Ernest Shackleton's 103 year old Antarctic Whiskey, transcript of Rudyard Kipling soliloquy in 'Old Money' printed on gold leaf, Dino snacks and several cats resembling Felix

10. Have you ever considered filming a Spinal Tap style doco on yourselves? You could call it Sulphur Tap.

It never occured to me until now but that is an amazing idea. We'll all have British accents and recount when we realised the song was going to be a hit in the studio.

Unless you're a bloody idiot, you'll get amongst the shiny Sulphur Lights action.  Get to it.

An Open Letter to Miss Alicia Augello Cook

Dear Alicia,

I love you. I don't keep on Falling In And Out Of Love With You, but my love is perpetual. I ask you now to marry me. If you agree, I will do everything to reward your Woman's Worth. I have called you numerous times, but you won't pick up the phone or call me back. How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore? Have you got another girlfriend? Not to be overly protective, but I Think I'm Jealous Of Your Girlfriend. My love is Unbreakable, so don't try to deny what we have. If I Ain't Got You, I can't go on. I will lie awake at night. If you think I'm exaggerating, Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart. It's hard. It's Unthinkable to believe that we won't be together forever. So please. Think it over. You are my love, my one and only, my Superwoman.

With everlasting love,

Positive Guest List.

Positive Guest WHHHHHAAAT?

We enjoy Google Imaging ourselves when we are supposed to be working. Everybody does. Unfortunately, being a totally underground, avant garde, hard-hitting, cultish type of blog/zine-who even know WHAT we are?!- no pictures of us come up. Here are some of the best piccies that do come up when you type Positive Guest List into the search field.

Celebrity Blissfiles Numero Cuatro- I Wanna Be Your Dog

This edition of Celebrity Blissfiles is brought to you by editor at PGL, Riff Randall.


IGGY POP.


Big Day Out. Crowded. Sweaty. Dehydrated. And then, suddenly.... Iggy & The Stooges. Simultaneously losing respect for both herself and everybody around her, Riff finds herself aggressively pushing her way to the front of the crowd, and struggling to pull herself over the fence separating her from the demonically possessed Iggy. A handful of people are dancing on stage while Iggy writhes around in skin tight jeans. She is over the fence, ignoring the fact that she has kicked somebody in the face, and that her skirt has risen to obscene heights. All in the name of Iggy. He reaches out his hand. He is looking right at her. Right into her 16 year old eyes. It's both liberating, sexy, and extremely creepy. She reaches out her hand, she's almost on the stage, and then, just as their fingers almost touch, a security guard grabs her from around her waist and places her back on the other side of the fence, as easily as a small child puts a pet guinea pig back in its cage.
