My life is complicated at best
so I really need this day of rest

John Ellis, Vibrators, Clepsydra and Kate Bush
Fans, had better look out! The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#94) is available
to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to
download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/.
It has the one and only John Ellis, one time guitar
guru of The Vibrators, Peter Gabriel, The Stranglers, Peter Hammill, Judge Smith
and more on the cover. Doug Harr was there in the audience when Kate Bush played
live on last Friday evening, and Jon finds out about Clepsydra's plans for the
future from bass ace Andy Thommen. There are also new shows from the wonderfully
eccentric Jaki and Tim on their Submarine, from the multi-talented Neil Nixon at
Strange Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and ursine tree kangaroos
(OK, no weird arboreal marsupials from New Guinea, 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?
FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
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.
