WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

A SHAMELESS PLUG

POSSIBLY THE COOLEST FREE MUSIC MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD

Gonzo #47 is now available for your delectation. I am very proud to say that we have several really rather cool exclusives this week. We have exclusive interviews with Erik Norlander (in which he not only reveals his new tour dates, but talks about what has happened to Asia featuring John Payne), Steve Ignorant (in which he reveals that he can actually sing, and I try to persuade him to do a Joni Mitchell cover), and Gary Clail (in which he drunkenly claims to be a Roman Emperor, and reveals his absolutely smashing new single) as well as all sorts of other stuff. If that isn't eclectic enough for you I will have to write about Beyoncé after all.

THIS WEEK WE BRING YOU ALSO BRING YOU STUFF ABOUT KEITH CHRISTMAS, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, MR AVERELL, THE ART OF DOING NOTHING, GALAHAD, AUBURN, NEIL NIXON, STRANGE FRUIT, STEVE HACKETT, JUDGE SMITH, BRAND X, MICK ABRAHAMS, MICK FARREN/ANDY COLQUHOUN, GARY WINDO, PHILIP CHEVRON, THE POGUES, ERIK NORLANDER, ASIA FEATURING JOHN PAYNE, STEVE IGNORANT, CRASS, GARY CLAIL, MICHAEL DES BARRES, FRANK ZAPPA, LIBBY LAWES, TREVOR RABIN, PAUL WHITROW, ROGER DEAN, JON DOWNES, CARPE NOCTEM, DISCIPLINE, ALAN MOORE, EIBON LA FURIES, IRON JAWS, BEYONCE, JAKKO, KLF, JOHN HIGGS, JAMMS, ALAN MOORE, DAN WOODING, KING SQUEALER, MAURICE O'MAHONEY, RICK WAKEMAN, ROB AYLING, HAWKWIND, YES, THE NINE HENRYS, AUBURN, LIZ LENTEN, PAUL McCARTNEY, MISS CRYSTAL GRENADE, DAVE BROCK.

And it is all free.

This is quite simply the best magazine you will ever find that is edited by a mad bloke (and his orange kitten), and produced from a tumbledown potato shed in North Devon. The fact that it is published with Gonzo Multimedia - probably the grooviest record company in the known universe - is merely an added bonus.

Thank you once again to Rob Ayling, the Gonzo grande fromage for allowing me the chance to do something as insane as this magazine, and above all a big thank you to YOU, the readers, for having borne out my assertion that there are indeed people who listen to both Crass and Fairport Convention and like everything from Prog Metal to Folk to Punk to Avant Garde noise. Frunobulax and I are truly not alone.
