The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
Usually on Sunday I often write
how I was drunk
the previous night
and then slept for fifteen hours late
as my excuse for
getting up late
But last night I held no grudge
and I was as
sober as a judge
but I still slept for fifteen hours
cos that is the
source of my special powers
On Sunday I always lie in
and although some may
think that its a sin
next Sunday we will do it again
cos it is the one
thing that keeps us sane
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) is
available to read 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, Xtulk 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!!!

* 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:

* 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?
