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


And so, the week trundles on. Mother-in-law and Prudence the dog have established a firm psychic connection, Graham and I are preparing for next weekend's Open Gardens weekend, and last evening the ceiling in the pink bathroom fell in. Just another day really...

Today we open Gonzo Daily, with part two of our Song by Song look at 'California Star', the smashing new album by Martin Stephenson:

Occasionally I veer away from purely Gonzo stuff, to write about music and books that interest me. Today I have a look at the new album by Dexys (not 'Midnight Runners' any more) and end up wittering about Michael Des Barres:

Graham finally presents his long-awaited review of Hawkwind at Southampton:

A peculiar (and unintentionally hilarious) review of the new Rick Wakeman live album. By the way, in these politically correct times, I should probably point out that I am laughing at the peculiar results obtained by online translation software, rather than pointing out that Johnny Foreigner is a rum cove:

I have just found the most peculiar website yet to feature the irripressable (I think that's how you spell it) Michael Des Barres:

Whilst on the subject of 'peculiar', the lovely Helen McCookerybook's blog can be a very peculiar place:

And finally, Jon Anderson has just become an ambassador for Accrington Stanley FC:
