So, I have a cold, and am feeling sorry for myself. The Orange Cat is perched upon my knee, and even Pete Townshend;s spectacularly gripping biography is not compensating for the fact that all I really want to do is be tucked up in bed with a bottle of brandy. But I have a jolly day ahead and must get on with it...
One of my favourite music blogs is John Robb's 'Louder than War', and it was this that I held up to Rob Ayling as an example of what I wanted to do with the Gonzo Daily. Today it features our very own Martin Stephenson..

A link to an interesting interview with Jon Anderson. By the way the title "Jon Anderson (lead singer of Yes)" was theirs not mine. I sincerely doubt whethere there is anyone reading this who will not know exactly who Jon Anderson is..

Off topic, but I am sure that everyone reading the Gonzo Daily will want to know about Roger Waters' forthcoming album and other Pink Floyd related news from those jolly nice chaps at Neptune Pink Floyd

Also off topic, but this latest episode of my webTV show might interest you

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Judy Dyble's album, but today all that arrived was the reminder that I need to go to get my eyes tested, and a copy of Invertebrate Conservation News. So, for those of you, who like me are in need of a Dyblefix, here is a review of her recent London show, which she sent me yesterday as background information. Background information sez I? "Ha! I'm a gonna re-post it!"

Once again I am wandering off topic, but Neil Young's second new album of 2012 is a corker..

And finally for today a link to a review of the mighty Chris Thompson

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?
