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...

I'M THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN



Welcome to another working week. The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that I am posting it far earlier than usual. I had a migraine last night and went to bed early. I was woken up by Prudence the bulldog trying to get into bed at about 6:30 and couldn't get back to sleep.

Therefore as part of my Mens Sano in Corpore whatsit, I am up and about far earlier than usual. Prudence, by the way, has taken my side of the bed and is fast asleep.

We have all sorts of goodies in store for you this week.

To start off with we have some vintage Wally from the OGWT back in the day:

Following on, we have a complicated story involving Michael Des Barres, Duran Duran and a (probably) extinct species of New Zealand bat. Where else do you get a record company blog as groovy as this?:

A brief diversion next as we see what Gonzo grande fromage Rob Ayling has been writing over on the Haunted Skies UFO blog:

Now, I am totally aware that I am ever so slightly odd. However, is it just me, or does Captain Beefheart look like a well known star of BBC Light Comedy from the 1960s-80s? Its probably just me:

There is some exciting news for fans of Tony Palmer:

And finally, as regular readers will be aware, I take every opportunity to post an Eric Burdon story. Well here is another one (with some free music):

See you tomorrow...
