The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday
Yesterday I was dissapointed when Amy Phillipson
aka Nursey (especially to me) told me that noodles were not as healthy for
diabetics as I thought they were. Pity. I have been cooking with them quite a
lot recently, but Nursey knows best. Doug Harr is really excited to find out
that Yusuf (Cat Stevens) is playing a show near him in December. Expect a
eulogistic review in the magazine.
It has the one and only Mick Rogers,
singer/guitarist with Manfred Mann's Earth Band and the legendary Aviator on the
cover, and an exclusive interview with the man himself inside. Doug Harr meets
the lovely and massively talended Paula Frazer, and Jon critiques the new U2
album and is critical about its marketing. There are also new shows from the
wonderfully eccentric Jaki and Tim on their Submarine, from the multi-talented
Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit from Canterbury sans Frontieres presented by Matthew
Watkins, and from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and long nosed potoroos (OK,
no weird antipodean macropods, 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?
