We have been on YouTube seriously for about six years now, but I have never actually done anything about our YouTube channel, which has gone and got itself over 900 subscribers without me doing anything about it. Well, I am rectifying that, and for your delectation and enjoyment here is a video featuring Mama and a lobster....

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
So after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo Corinna took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.
THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS FEBRILE
The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
At stupid o'clock this morning I finished reading
Graeme Thomson's excellent George Harrison: Behind The Locked Door in which he
does an Ivan T. Sanderson on us. He tells an old familiar story, but makes it
almost completely unrecogniseable. Because here the story of The Beatles is told
from the point of view of their sulky, spiritual, and immensely complex
guitarist, John and Paul are relegated to being bit players. As always I find
myself disagreeing with the author on musical matters. I have always been rather
fond of the 'Dark Horse' album, and I think the follow-up 'Extra Texture'
(despite the horrible cover) is a magnificent album that I would recommend to
anyone. However, I do agree with him that 'Electronic Sound' is a goddamn awful
noise. And whilst on the subject of this piece of experimental nonsense, I had
heard that there were copyright issues regarding the record, but was not aware
of the depths of George's perfidy until reading the book.
There is a full review in this week's Gonzo Weekly,
which also features interviews with Percy Jones of Brand X, Pam Windo about her
extraordinary career with her late husband Gary, Nick Mason from Pink Floyd and
Robert Wyatt. We have Cyrille Verdeaux going through the Clearlight compilation
track by track. We have Hawkwind live in Southampton, Doug Harr on Rick Wakeman,
and Orrin Hare on the enigmatic L-Voag. We have a visit to a Victorian freakshow
with Crystal Grenade and columns from C.J. Stone and Kev Rowland and more news,
reviews, features and comments than you can shake a stick at. And its free. So
as not to miss this week's copy subscribe here.

* 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: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of

* 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 and sometimes a small Indian frog. 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?

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.
The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology, but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.
