THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN PROBABLY IS

The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

Last night the wind was incredibly gusty and noisy but Corinna and the dogs slept the sleep of the just. Squeaky Biscuit were awake until about 5:00, not just because of the wind, but because she insisted on playing a singular game of her invention whereby she sits on my chest and chews my beard noisily. So I overslept this morning I am afraid. I always try to get up early on days when Jessica and Danny are due so I can get the blogs and things done before they arrive, but sometimes it doesn't work out like that.

However, the good news is that despite the wind the rather precarious Musum roof which is weighted down with grobags at the moment, held without a problem, and we received an email saying that my errant hard drive has now arrived in London, so I hope to hear something today or tomorrow on that matter.

The Gonzo Weekly #132
www.gonzoweekly.com

Daevid Allen, Gong, Blancmange, Grateful Dead, Roy Weard, Dogwatch, That Legendary Wooden Lion, Hawkwind, Jon Anderson, and Yes fans had better look out!

The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#132) is available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It has Daevid Allen on the front cover together with a thirteen page account, written by the man himself, of one of his last excursions outside Australia. He sent it to us for the blog three years ago, and when I had posted it I promptly forgot all about it....until now. There is a look at Blancmange live with some excellent pictures by Doug, Jon examines a book about The Grateful Dead, and muses on an exciting new direction in music retail, Thom waxes all poetical like, whilst the legendary Roy Weard continues his regular column. Xtul shudders towards a climax, and there is a radio show from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive, and two from theose jolly nice chaps at Strange Fruit. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and antichinuses trying to snooze (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials having difficulty getting to sleep, 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?
