I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

So, here we go. Another day and a revolution to be plotted. OK, maybe not quite but there is all sorts of interesting stuff afoot. For those of you interested, the latest issue of UFO Matrix, of which I am the editor, is imminent, and whilst on the subject of things saucerlike, I just want to inform you all that Haunted Skies will not be publishing further volumes with us. The first six volumes will stay in print for the time being. Our month long exhibition at Barnstaple Museum starts on saturday, and mother is still staying with us...

And golly, is it just me, or is the new Rolling Stones single rather good?

Our daily visit to Thom the World Poet

Helen McCookerybook shows solidarity to beleagueredRussian punks 'Pussy Riot'.

I really must be getting old. Back in the day I would party all night and then work all day, but yesterday, after only having had about three hours kip, it knocked me for six, so I have not yet managed to process any of the Jefferson Starship or Auburn video. I am also going to be at Barnstaple Museum for much of the day, so I don't know whether it will be done today either. But what I do have for you is some exclusive pix from Jefferson Starship's soundcheck the other night...

A review of the Gonzo DVD of Captain Beefheart, from the Lost Broadcasts series, with a brief note from Jon. This review is mildly interesting because although it is a good one, the reviewer complains that the DVD is not long enough. However, as the series states, the DVDs include everything from those sessions and it would mess with the integrity of the series to add outside material

Much the same applies here. This review of The Move Lost Broadcasts DVD is by the same bloke from the same source. Again it is positive, but once again he complains that it is not long enough. My comments above apply.


The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...
The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
