The Gonzo Daily - Friday/Saturday
The blog service is a bit confused today because I
had to take one of my darling nieces to the hospital for a scan, and then all
sorts of other stuff happened with which I shall not bore you, so as it is
10:00pm and I still have the magazinbe to do, the two days are being
combined.
So there.
Merrell Fankhauser, Lee Pomeroy, Unidentified Flying Wassnames, René van
Commenée, Jon Anderson, Yes, Hawkwind, and Daevid Allen fans had better look
out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#108) will be available to read tomorrow
at
www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download
at
http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has Merrell Fankhauser on the cover talking about his latest project that
involves setting music to some apparently alien transmissions from off the coast
of Malibu. Doug Harr interviews the legendary Lee Pomeroy, René van Commenée
expounds at length on his Desert Island Discs, and also builds a huge musical
art machine in the middle of Antwerp, Xtul declare war on humanity and give away
their new single as a Christmas gift, and there are also new shows from the
multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night
Progressive, and the titular submarine dwellers are back with another episode of
Sub Reality Sandwich (except its not). There is also a collection of more news,
reviews, views, interviews and anteaters wishing to snooze (OK, nothing to do
with dozy edentates, 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!!!
Read the previous few issues of Gonzo Weekly:
All issues from #70 can be downloaded at
www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you
have problems downloading, just email me and I will add you to the Gonzo Weekly
dropbox. The first 69 issues are archived there as well. Information is power
chaps, we have to share it!
* 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?
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
