THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN ENJOYS HIMSELF

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

Sunday afternoon is time
to do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme,
a job I do smiling (no shirking)
'cos its far better than working

 

Although my rhymes might make you barf
I do them 'cos they make me laugh
and when people question them I say
"it's cos it amuses me, OK?"

 

And first a band I once saw gig;
it is the amazing Blodwyn Pig
and I am proud to bring to you
a translated Polish review

And now something you won't expect
the marvellous Sky Architect
with something that will make you dance
a great review that comes from France
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/12/french-sky-architect-review.html

 

And now our cool 'Track of the Day',
is something we all love - WAYHAY!
a song that I've never forgot
its by Gong; it's called 'Flying Teapot'

And now something that's rather cute:
another episode of Strange Fruit,
a radio show that you must hear
the playlist has been published here:

And finally let's go dpwn to Austin
to meet a man whose rhymes are bostin'
(Brummie for great if you didn't know it)
People meet Thom the World Poet

And finally you know what I mean
#58 of the magazine
we do is out, and its quite fine
you can read it all for free online

 

I always promised that the Gonzo Daily publishing empire would spread "into more traditionally magaziney areas", and I wasn't lying. Last night I sent out #58 of the Gonzo Weekly newsletter, together with all sorts of exciting new features, to nearly 2,000 subscribers.

 

Issue 58 features the lovely Crystal Grenade going through her debut album track by track, an exclusive interview with John Goodsall from Brand X, me having a crisis of conscience over trying to blag an expensive book, a new video from Auburn, a taster for the forthcoming Clearlight album, Doug Harr on his gigs of the year and more news, reviews, features and comments than you can shake a stick at. And its free.

*  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

 

* We should probably mention here that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others), is an old hippy of 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus...did we mention the orange cat?
