Today is already shaping up to be an odd one; according to Google Chrome, the CFZ site is known to be one that contains malware, which is news to me. However, we have Graham working on it and I am confident that not only is it a mistake but that it will be fixed sooner rather than later. In other news, we have a young lady called Sheri joining us tomorrow evening for a week, and I am still trying to finish the excewllent anthology of Hunter Thompson at Rolling Stone whilst listening to 'System 7' who really are rather good...
As this review says, The Move are "forever damned to be remembered as ‘the first band played on radio 1’ with their pop-hippy hit Flowers in the Rain. Either that, or as the group that would later fragment into ELO and spawn pop eccentric Roy Wood. But there was always more to the band than that, as this collection of German TV recordings show."...
The other night when we saw Jefferson Starship at Southampton I was particularly impressed by David Freiberg's performance, so it was too good an opportunity to resist when I found this intervew with him on YouTube. It's repostin' time...
We pay our daily visit to the singular universe of the irrepressible Thom the World Poet, who never ceases to inform and amaze..
It seems that Rick Wakeman's 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' album is going through somewhat of a critical re-evaluation at the moment. Here is just one blog posting which revisits the album and finds it bloody good...
As I do quite often, I was utilising the Google News Alert tools to look for bloggystuff, and I decided that it was about time that I found the latest reviews and/or articles about the mighty Anderson Bruford Wakeman and Howe. So I typed ABWH into the search bar, and look what came out...
Michael Des Barres at last weekend's charity show. This is possibly the best performance I have seen him give...
I think Peter McAdam is one of the funniest people around, and I cannot recommend his book The Nine Henrys highly enough. This week we shall be running a series of Henrybits that are not found in his book about the nine cloned cartoon characters who inhabit a surreal world nearly as insane as mine...
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?
