The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday

Yesterday was a frustrating day with all sorts of
things going wrong so I had a few drinks last night and the only thing in my
liquor cabinet (except for the good stuff that I am saving for a special
occasion) was half a bottle of Slovenian rum which, mixed with sugar free
cherryade is one of the nastiest things that I have ever drunk. However, 'it did
the biz' as Graham is wont to say, and I have a rather nasty hangover this
morning. The only other social highlight of the day ahead of me is a visit to
the Chriropody Department of Bideford and District Hospital this afternoon. Due
to having been badly ripped off earlier in the year, we are spectacularly skint
at the moment, but I have been skint before, and no doubt will be skint again in
the future, and these hard times do pass.

The Gonzo Weekly #104

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html
Pink Fairies, Rocket Scientists, Blodwyn Pig, Mick
Abrahams, Pink Floyd, Jon Anderson, Yes, Nick Redfern, John Lennon, Hawkwind,
and Daevid Allen fans had better look out! The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly
(#104) will soon be available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/.
It has The Pink Fairies on the cover, and features
an interview with Andy Colquhoun about the current and future plans of the band
including the long hoped for studio material. Rob Ayling visits legendary blues
guitarist Mick Abrahams in his studio and find out about his exciting new album
made with some very A-List sparring partners. Erik Norlander is very cagey about
the new album from Rocket Scientists. But there's more! There is news about
Daevid Allen, Doug Harr goes to see America and also gets hitched, Jon waxes
lyrical about the new Pink Floyd album and then gets all existential. Xtul are
still in the deep woods, and Corinna finds some real Beatles tat. Jon looks at a
peculiar book about John Lennon and we send the mighty John Ellis (ex Vibrators
and Stranglers and sidesman to Peter Gabriel and Peter Hammill to a desert
island. There are also new shows from the multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange
Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive, and the massively talented
Jaki and Tim are back with their submarine and Maisie the cow. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and turtles having a snooze
(OK, no soporific chelonians, 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/…/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit…
* 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 55 who - together with an infantile orange cat 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 infantile orange cat?
