WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

MUIRHEAD`S MYSTERIES: THE AMAZING PROPHETIC GIFT OF THE NEW WAVE BAND THE VAPORS

Whilst having a coffee in my favourite café in Macclesfield today I had an amazing revelation about the prophetic gift of the 1980s New Wave band The Vapors. Some of you may recall their 1980 hit `Turning Japanese` off the album New Clear Days? Well, think about it – New Clear Days, this refers to the nuclear power station at Fukushima, damaged in the recent earthquake and tsunami, The Vapors,smelling salts? Oh no,this refers to the leaks of radiation, and Turning Japanese? Obviously refers to the citizens of Japan in March 2011.

The Vapors are not the only prophetic New Wave band. Devo`s ` Space Junk` off the album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! referring to falling space debris has obviously been fulfilled a number of times since 1978 as has The Dead Kennedys 1980 track `Holiday in Cambodia` as thousands of people have been on holiday there in the last 31 years. Apparently `Holiday in Cambodia` was released as a Christmas song sung in a Sinatra style by someone called Richard Cheese! Honestly, see Wikipedia.

Party on dudes!

Richy/Dr Devo.
