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...

Today on the Gonzo Blog


Welcome to the working week. After a peculiar weekend when I was either laid low with a cold (Rhinovirus and diabetes are not a good mix) or struggling with the intermittently recalcitrant BT broadband, both me and the computer are back on duty, albeit both a little battered. Today we have some jolly stuff for you all. We have a revealing interview with Michael Des Barres during which he manages to namecheck both Byron and Muddy Waters without sounding even a little bit pretentious. I am getting to like this man more and more:

I was pootling about on YouTube when I found a fascinating interview with Chris Squire from Yes talking about the day he met Jimi Hendrix. As there are four different Yes products on the Gonzo roster I can afford to be self indulgent here:

Regular readers will have read my ramblings in praise of the wonderful Troy Donockley, uillean piper supreme. Now you can check him out as well with an exclusive slice from his new album:

Whilst on the subject of Troy D, here is a review from Holland. It seems they like him nearly as much as I do:

And finally an excerpt from a fascinating interview from a Greek website. The interviewee? None other than another of my faves; Judge Smith. And as his current album 'Orfeas' is a retelling of an ancient Greek myth, it seems oddly appropriate:

Hopefully things will be back to normal tomorrow.
