I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN

'Goodness me', I hear you all exclaim. 'You are up early, Mr Downes'. Well, not exactly. I haven't been to bed yet. I was asleep most of the afternoon and my body clock is all to cock, (if I may use such a vulgarism), so I have decided to roll with it and go to bed when I feel tired. In the meantime here are today's blogs so I don't have to get up at any particular time.

As you have probably realised I am very much a fan of the music of Helen McCookerybook, and will do my best to spread the word far and wide. Today (I am pleased to say) there are two new albums on Bandcamp. Check them out.

Rick Wakeman takes a well deserved pop at the current generation of performers who only want to be famous. I, however (if I may quote Clive Gregson), learned to play the guitar mostly to pick up girls. It even worked occasionally.

Michael Des Barres on another groovy TV show. This time it is about hotel secrets. I have to admit to being somewhat intrigued...

*  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 same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures 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 which he shares with various fish and batrachians. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
