The Gonzo Daily - Friday
I have committed complete apostasy against
everything that I stand for. I have acquired an iPad. OK I didn't pay for it; it
came free with Corinna's new smart phone thingy, but it is an iPad nonetheless.
And I am finding it far less intuitive than I had been led to expect. Although I
have to say that this is the case with all sorts of things these days. I have
several pieces of software that I have acquired recently that I can't make head
nor tail of. It is probably an age thing. I really can't believe how quickly the
time goes. It is friday again, and once again it is deadline day for the Gonzo
Weekly. This week's issue contains interviews with Steve Ignorant and Ken
Pustelnik of the original Groundhogs and all sorts of other jolly
things.
Just in case you missed it, the latest issue of
Gonzo Weekly 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: 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?
