The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
Today is much sunnier than expected, and as we have
a plethora of interns around the place (well, Saskia and her brother Riley) I am
sending Graham out with a chainsaw. Hmmm, I think I should rephrase that, cos it
sounds a little Ed Gein. However, we have been looking for a chance to do the
winter pruning on the garden trees, and if we don't do it this weekend it will
be far too late. Saskia has been given a project to do for her coursework which
basically means she will be giving the Conservatory the refurbishment that I
have been meaning to get around to for the last three years. Yes, Virginia,
there is a Santa Claus.
This week's issue of The Gonzo Weekly is imminent,
and features Hawkwind, Hawkwind, and some more Hawkwind, plus exclusive
interviews with two musical legends - Keith Levene (ex-PiL and The Clash) and
Judy Dyble (founder member of Fairport Convention and the band that was later to
become King Crimson), plus stories on Mike Rutherford, Acid Mothers Temple,
Devo, Paul Whitrow, and the world premiere of new videos by Auburn and Galahad,
and more news, reviews, views, interviews and packets of long nosed potoroos
(OK, no special rabbit-sized macropodiformes, especially in convenient
packaging) but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you
can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!

PS: If you are already a subscriber but think that you haven't been
receiving your copies please check your spam filters. For some reason known only
to the Gods of the internet, some e-mail programmes automatically count the
magazine as 'spam' probably because it comes from a mass mailer. Either that or
they are just jealous of our peerless content
* 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

* 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?
