The Gonzo Daily - Friday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

Despite everything (and there is a lot to be despite about) I am in a very good mood today. The broadband was off most of yesterday and is merely crawling along at an arthritic snail's pace today, but I am still managing to do stuff and vaguely making headway. Corinna will be furnishing the chubby frog's new vivarium today, and so finally, after about eighteen months, he will have a proper home and the small plastic faunabox in which he has lived quite happily since the summer of 2012 can be redeployed. I am working hard on this weekend's Gonzo Weekly, and am really getting into the swing of it. For those of you interested, it contains an interview with Don Falcone from Spirits Burning, news about Clepsydra, Steve Ignorant's Slice of Life, Galahad, and more and articles on Cat Stevens and Krautfolk. Make sure you get this week's issue for free by subscribing today.

PLAYLIST FOR STRANGE FRUIT #54
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2014/01/playlist-for-strange-fruit-54.html

 

*  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?
