The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have no doubt noticed that today's notifications are going out about twelve hours earlier than
usual. There is a simple reason for this. Corinna has a cold and would like to
take as much of the weekend off as possible, whereas I have music to record,
books to read, dogs to play with and a hedgehog hutch to supervise the
construction of. So we are trying to clear our collective desks as quickly as
possible so that we can take as much of the weekend for ourselves as we possibly
can!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly is very nearly
here, and will soon be available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com. It has the lovely Pam
Windo on the front cover and features an interview with her by yours truly. We
also have news of Galahad's new bass player (who is actually their old bass
player), Corky Laing gets an award, and a lot of people panic about Yes' lead
singer's throat. 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?
