A SHAMELESS PLUG
POSSIBLY THE COOLEST FREE MUSIC MAGAZINE IN THE WORLDGonzo #48 is now available for your delectation. I am very proud to say that we have several really rather cool exclusives this week. We have an exclusive interview with Sepand from the massively groovy Days Between Stations, on whose new album legendary Yes guitarist Peter Banks played his final sessions. Still on a Yes theme we have another exclusive interview with Oliver Wakeman in which he talks about his exciting new project with Gordon Giltrap, and his days in the most fraught prog rock band of all. We also introduce a smashing new band called ShiSho and bring new news of legendary ELP lyricist Pete Sinfield's heart attack...
But we also bring you:
THIS WEEK WE BRING YOU BRUCE STERLING, SHISHO, PAUL MCCARTNEY, ROBERT SHEA, ROBERT ANTON WILSON, ERIS, PETE SINFIELD, ROSEANNA ARQUETTE, CAL SMITH, GORDON GILTRAP, OLIVER WAKEMAN, DAYS BETWEEN STATIONS, PETER BANKS, JOHN HOPKINS, SANTANA, ALAN WHITE, JON ANDERSON, VANGELIS, PINK FLOYD, PSEUDO/SENTAI, SHINEBACK, EQUILIBRIUM, PERCY JONES, PETER GABRIEL, NEIL NIXON, STRANGE FRUIT, MICK FARREN/ANDY COLQUHOUN, GARY WINDO, MICHAEL DES BARRES, HAKEN, ALAN MOORE, JOHN HIGGS, DAN WOODING, KING SQUEALER, MAURICE O'MAHONEY, RICK WAKEMAN, ROB AYLING, HAWKWIND, YES, THE NINE HENRYS
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.

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
TODAY'S BIG CAT ROUND UP
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. In September 2012 Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.
THE GONZO BLOG DO-DAH MAN TRIES HIS BEST
The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
Sunday lunchtime, feeling mellow
your editor is a cheerful fellow
cos every Sunday he finds the time
to do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme

Why? Some people ask confused
it's merely to keep me amused
but like I once said to my wife
what better aim is there in life?

* 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

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?
