The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
It is Sunday, the best day of the week,
cos
there's no work left for this particular freak,
except for having to find the
time
to write the Sunday blogs in rhyme
Although it often means damn all
I rather like
writing doggerell
on Sunday afternoons while drinking tea
I do it cos it
amuses me
Corinna and I were up until 5:00am finishing the latest issue of Gonzo
Weekly, which can be seen now at
www.gonzoweekly.com. It features an
interview with Barbara Dickson, an exclusive glimpse at the creative process of
Roger Dean, Clepsydra remembering their collaboration with H R Giger, The
National live, we welcome Friday Night Progressive to the Gonzo Web Radio
family, and there are also new shows from the peculiar multiverse of Sub Reality
Sandwich (this week they are in outer space making scatological jokes about
Uranus) and from the multitalented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and a collection
of more news, reviews, views, interviews and Victorian flues (OK, no 19th
Century heating ducts, 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!!!

* 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:

* 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?
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject.
