The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
Saskia is here today bustling about
enthusiastically. Graham, Corinna and I are feeling our age at the moment, and
it is nice to have an enthusiastic young person about the place. In the same way
as the butterfly year last year was dominated by long tailed blues, and 2009 was
dominated by painted ladies, this year seems to be the year of the gorganus
swallowtail. They have been seen (and photographed) in several parts of southern
England, and it seems very likely that they will breed again this year. Whether
it is a temporary anomaly or not remains to be seen.
The next issue of Gonzo Weekly is here, and
available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com. It has Don Falcone
from the mighty Spirits Burning on the front cover abd features an interview
with the man himself by Dou Harr, an interview with Patrick Campbell-Lyons of
the original Nirvana by me, a special dedication from Patrick to Twink, what
happened when Erik Borlander met Corky Laing, and Keith Levene in
Prague.
There are also new shows from the peculiar
multiverse of Sub Reality Sandwich, from Friday Night Progressive, and from the
multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and a collection of more news,
reviews, views, interviews and high heeled shoes (OK, no specialist footwear,
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?
