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


Well, we are back, and if there are any of you who want to know what several of the Gonzo Daily posse were doing in a Roman Catholic Church in Heywood, Lancs. This is what:
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/06/we-tried-to-flog-pictures-to-hello.html
(and it is probably the only time you will see me wearing a suit in these hallowed pages)

I would like to say a very big thank you to Graham. I think that he did a magnificent job keeping the various blogs and newsfeeds ticking over satisfactorily. We had better hits under his management than we usually do under mine. Perhaps I should go away more often.

Today we start off with the official news release for Michael Des Barres' new album. I confidently predict that we shall be reading lots more abvout him in the days and weeks to come:

Now we have the beginning of a new series: Song by Song. Basically I go through an album song by song, and then pass my notes on to the artist who made the album in the first place, and see what they have to say. And we start off this exciting new series with the irrepressable Martin Stephenson and his smashing new album California Star:

We have three songs from the recent Hawkwind gig in Edinburgh:

And there is a link to an interesting Troy Donockley review, but I have to say that I am not quite sure what he is getting at when he talks about confectionary. Anyone who disses toffee must be prepared for as Gonzo Daily hit squad...

We have an exceptionally enthusiastic review of Jon Anderson in Seattle:

And finally the one and only Davey Curtis. He is a happy bunny today:

And that is about it for my first day back. Expect interviews with Wally, and Helen McCookerybook over the next week or so. Jon Downes is in da house!
