THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN POTTERS ABOUT
The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html
Hi there, its me, yes I'm still alive
and yes I know its gone half past five
when usually on Sunday by half past two
I've done the blogs and sent them out to you
But I have had a hell of a week
far too much for this particular freak
so last night I slept for fifteen hours straight
and didn't get up until frightfully late
And I was still drinking my wake up tea
when Saskia my student IMd me
and asked me if I could possibly guide her
through a college assignment on the Siberian Tiger
Well, I am very fond of that young lady
so I didn't say no and I didn't say maybe
I took a drag from my fag and said of course
I would help her study for her college course
So I did all that and I cuddled the dogs,
but now I am back to work on the blogs
it'll be stupidly late when I finish them all
but it is the Lord's Day after all

The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly is here, and is 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.

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 entire list of artists covered is: Yes, Jon Davison, Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Chris Squire, ABWH, Grateful Dead, Slash, The Smiths, Johnny Marr, Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant, Michael des Barres, Galahad, Miss Crystal Grenade, Steve Ignorant, Corky Laing, Spirits Burning, Gong, System 7, Rocket Scientists, King Crimson, Strange Fruit, Sub Reality Sandwich, Friday Night Progressive, Ruth Flowers, Bernard Neeson, Ralph Pruitt, Jay Lake, James Shelton, Clearlight, Aviator, Clepsydra, Ant-Bee, Mick Abrahams, Steve Hillage, Erik Norlander, Pam Windo, Elbow, Edison’s Children, Marillion, Hunter Thompson, Hawkwind, Paul Weller, Michael Jackson, Beatles, Elvis Presley, Syd Barrett, One Direction, Justin Beiber, Paradise Nine, Lego Lepricons, Malice in Wonderland, Nigel Mazlyn Jones, Octopie, Frosttide

TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in.
The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.
FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?Well, everything, actually!
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in.
