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 YER GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN

And so it is Corinna's birthday. I singularly failed to get her an African bullfrog, but she did get a rather nifty guide to growing mandragora, which made up for it. I will be birthdaying much of today, so I had better get underway with the blogs:

I am rather fond of the Captain Beefheart DVD in the 'Lost Broadcasts' series, not only because the music is peerless, but because it was the first record thatI had written the sales notes for in over 20 years, and I get mildly sentimental about such things...

Erik Norlander really is a multi-talented chap, and I am becoming increasingly fond of his music. It seems that I am not the only person to think so because he is garnering increasingly positive reviews...

Everybody is getting very excited about the 4CD live album by Jefferson Starship that was recorded at the Roswell UFO Festival. It is set to become one of those legendary live albums that everybody talks about

Jon Anderson's recent US Tour seems to have been a magnificent success. It is a great pleasure, therefore, for me to be able to gather together live reviews like this one. Also, BTW, a little birdie tells me that shows later in the year are not impossible...

Another massively groovy remix from the massively talented Mimi Page. That girl has so much talent, that if talent were gobstoppers she would have an awful lot of gobstoppers.

And finally. It is my wife Corinna's birthday and finally Michael Des Barres new album (which we have been listening to constantly for weeks) is released. Michael wrote to Corinna wishing her a happy birthday, and Corinna is doing the same for Michael. With good vibes like this floating around how could both the birthday and the album launch fail to be less than an overwhelming success.

Hooray!

And that is it for today. I am off to see the missus......
