I'M THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

It's wednesday, and the truth can be told. I have been quite severely non compos mentis for the past three or four days. I have an ear infection and the medication I have been given has meant that I have been floating through my life in a most peculiar manner. You know the first few lines of 'Plastic Palace People' by Scott Walker - that is where I have been all week.

(If you don't know the song, shame on you. Check it out:http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/05/this-explains-everything-ok-no-it.html)

I am still a little wobbly, but at least I can now string a few words together in a coherent fashion (which is a jolly good thing considering that I am interviewing Jon Anderson later on). However, despire it all, we have an interesting set of posts for you today:

First off, a true EXCLUSIVE, the first bit of a three part interview with Michael Des Barres, in which he talks about his recent Japanese Tour with the reformed 'Silverhead':

The other day I interview Martin Birke from 'Genre Peak'. We talked briefly about our shared like of some of the electropop of the early 1980s. Today I get him to put his money where his mouth is:

Blimey, its really beginning to look like a real magazine isn't it (apart from the pictures of Graham, that is). See you tomorrow...
