The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
Yesterday was a horrible day. One of the more
idiotic people who works in my office managed to delete a file that had cost
over £300 in wages, and three weeks work by up to three people. And it is
irrecoverable. The culprit was...........me! There is absolutely no excuse; it
was just me being idiotic, and nobody else's fault at all. But it has caused an
immense amount of trouble and cost a lot of work, effort and money. I wouldn't
cut anyone else any slack for being so asininely stupid, so I am not going to
cut myself any. I will be standing in the corner of the potato shed wearing a
dunce's hat for the rest of the day.
On a lighter note, any of you who read our news
item yesterday about Michael Des Barres receiving death threats, will be pleased
to know that I IMd him yesterday; he is OK, and that the police have caught the
woman responsible...
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!!!
But I have an update for you all: The cover story
is about the triumphant return of Swiss prog band Clepsydra last weekend. But
look what I have found: If you look on YouTube there is actually some footage of
last weekend's gig.
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?
