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 another day trundles on. The bad weather seems to have abated, and the weather forecast website says that it will be fine for the next fortnight, but - to be quite honest - I will believe it when I see it..

We start off with news about a live interview featuring the ever groovy Michael Des Barres, who will be on Blogtalk Radio live tonight at 11:00PM UK time. Be there or be square...

At the risk of sounding more like a tedious old hippy than I already do, I like to see the foreign reviews of Gonzo artists, like this Portuguese one of Erik Norlander. It shows that Rock Music truly is international in scope and is one of those few things that brings people of different nations, creeds and colours together

I have just been sent a pdf of an eminently cool little rock and roll newsletter called Keep Rockin'. As it features our very own Merrell Fankhauser I have a perfect excuse to give it a plug on today's Gonzo Daily.

Jon Anderson's recent US Tour really appears to have been a smash. I wish I had been there to see it, but the bits I have seen on YouTube make me really look forward to the next batch of UK dates..

Chris Thompson really is a massively talented dude. His recent CD/DVD live set has been on heavy rotation (as I believe that radio shows call it) on the Gonzo Daily hifi, and we look forward to seeing him next time he tours.

It was only the other day that I found out quite how many film scored Mimi Page has composed. According to brief thingumy on her Facebook page it is the thing that she enjoys doing most, and on the evidence of these excerpts youcan see why.

I will be back tomorrow, and hopefully I will be a little more compos mentis than I am today. The mens sano in corpore whatsit is not really working for me at the moment...
