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



Things are very slowly getting back to normal. I have received a lot of CDs and DVDs over the past couple of days - some for review purposes and some for birthday presents. However, my dear and trusty hi-fi amp blew up last night (after providing great service for fifteen years) and took one of my speakers with it. So I can't listen to anything for a day or two. Young David (my nephew) is lending me some studio monitors he pinched from somewhere, and I will be back in action in a day or two. In the meantime, on with the blogs...

We kick off (geddit?) with some more news about Jon Anderson's new football song. The man gets better and better, at the age when most of us would be thinking about a pipe and slippers and taking the dog for a walk just before closing time. I am seriously impressed and cannot wait until the new album.

Chris Evans is a bit like Terry Christian. They both have really irritating stage personas, yes I know that Terry is actually a really nice guy and I suspect that so is Chris. He recently had Dave Brock from Hawkwind on his show, and you can catch up with what happened on BBC iPlayer

Last week, the massively funny Peter McAdam launched the '9 Henrys' book with a party featuring Martin Stephenson and other special guests. It looked like it was a lot of fun. Here are images and a video.

And whilst on the subject of Martin Stephenson, here is a link to an amusing and very insightful review..

And finally. Your editor is basically an old hippy. It was his birthday yesterday, and he wants to say thank you for all the love and support from the Gonzo Daily readers

That's it for today. See ya...
