I'M THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN
It is a glorious sunny day, the birds are singing, Graham is outside filming a female Harvest mouse, I am eagerly awaiting the new album by PiL, and I have a sneaking suspicion that my lovely wife is going to make an apple cake later. God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.
Today on Gonzo Daily, we have all sorts of nice things.
First of all we have a real exclusive - part one of an interview with Galahad:

Auburn have recently finished a short tour. We have an interview with Liz Lenten any day now, but in the meantime some smashing film of one of the soundchecks:

My favourite Lear poem; the epic tale of adventure, exploration and derring-do that is “The Jumblies”:
LARS THOMAS RESCUES A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
The other night one of Lars Thomas' neighbours needed the services of a cryptozoologist - she needed rescuing from a fearsome beast.
Was it a dragon? a manbeast? a chupacabras?
Nope. It was a small bat...
...but Lars did his duty.
