A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

The Gonzo Daily - New Year's Day

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

And so another year begins. A quiet, dignified evening took place last night, and Mike Davis, Graham and I drank a little beer, followed by a little whisky, followed by a little wine, followed by a little more wine. I finally went to bed at about 3:30. Mother was up drinking sherry with us until gone one, and Corinna (who is teetotal these days) smiled beatifically upon the scene. A doggy commotion and the clattering of the gate heralds the arrival of Max who proudly announces that he has brought ten different types of cheese....

Today's Track of the Day is by ummmmmm Graham, me and a bunch of small girld singing the Hawkwind classic, 'Orgone Accumulator'. It seemed the perfect choice to celebrate the 'ring out the old ring in the new' bit. (Also I have always been exceedingly irritated by 'Auld Land Syne').

*  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

 

* 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 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?
