The Gonzo Daily - Monday
And so anoher week begins. It is going to be a
strangely quiet one. The children are all off doing stuff with their families,
Graham will be at Hawkeaster this coming weekend, and apart from Andrea, little
Charlotte and Mark Raines there are no scheduled visitors. On Saturday my
postbag included a care package from Erik Norlander, containing a marvellous
selection of CDs, DVDs and box sets, including the entire back catalogue of his
band Rocket Scientists. He really is one of the kindest and most thoughtful
blokes that I have ever met. I had never actually listened to anything by his
band Rocket Scientists before, but they really are extraordinarily good; the
sort of melodic, cerebral prog which I enjoy very much. Their new album is now
available via Gonzo, and I really recommend that you check it out.
The new issue of Gonzo Weekly is out now. It
features - amongst other things - Julian Lennon, Clepsydra, Michael Des Barres,
Sex Gang Children, Auburn, The Dalai lama, Keith Levene, The Psychedelic
Warlords, Goldfrapp, Barbara Dickson, Auburn and the Dalai Lama, and more news,
reviews, views, interviews and Gilbert's potoroos (OK, no ground dwelling
marsupials that look like pointy nosed guinea pigs, 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!!!
These issues (and the current one) can be
downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if
you prefer. If you have problems downloading, just email me and I will add you
to the Gonzo Weekly dropbox. Information is power chaps, we have to share
it!
To make sure that you don't miss your copy of
future issues make an old hippy a happy chappy and subscribe

* 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 an
orange kitten named after a song by Frank Zappa 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 kitten?
