The Gonzo Daily - Tuesdaywww.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html
Last night Dave B-P and Jess H came to see us. It is the first time we have seen Jess since her nine month sojourn on the ocean waves, working in a technical capacity on a cruiseship. As she told us of her adventures, gave me a model pope with a bobbling head, and described her life on the high seas we have never been more proud of her. I would have preferred it however, had she worn an appropriate hat, carried a cutlass and peppered her conversation with nautical phrases such as 'Shiver me Timbers' and 'Ahoy there my hearties'. But I am, as my nearest and dearest will tell you, an idiot.
I have, of course heard of a Plague of Lighthouse Keepers. But at the moment there seems to be a Plague upon Nieflings. Both Harriet and Jess T have been struck down with lurgies, and when Dave and Jess H came round last night, both of them seemed under the weather. Corinna is also poorly, and spluttering about the place as if she has been used for medical experiments by the Black Ops dept of the Secret Government, and - bizarrely - the card-carrying invalid/cripple or whatever one wishes to call me, is actually feeling rather chipper.

The Gonzo Weekly #105
www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html
Adrian Belew, Frank Zappa, Rocket Scientists, Peter Banks, Empire, Jon Anderson, Yes, Hawkwind, and Daevid Allen fans had better look out! The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#105) will soon be available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/.
It has Adrian Belew on the cover, and features an interview with him by Doug Harr. Peter Banks was the original guitarist with Yes, and after leaving the band had two bands of his own; 'Flash' and 'Empire'. Gonzo have just released a classic slab of Empire music, and we interview Billy James about working with Peter, and Mark Murdock, the drummer with Empire, about his memories of the band. Erik Norlander tells us about the new album from Rocket Scientists. But there's more! There is news about Daevid Allen. And we send rising star 4th Eden 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. 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?
