The Gonzo Daily - Monday/Tuesday
www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html
We are in the process of installing new computer systems. So blogs over the
next few days for both the CFZ and Gonzo Multimedia will be a bit disjointed and
disrupted. We have been using Windows XP since 2001, and Outlook Express since
1997, and having migrated away from both is somewhat of a culture shock. My
studio is up and running for the first time since April, and we are slowly
getting back to normal.

has Percy Jones from Brand X on the front cover together with an interview with
him in which, amongst other things, he reveals how Phil Collins was planning to
leave Genesis many years before he actually did, We also have an exclusive
interview with Roger Dean about Wakemanfest and peculiar fishes, and an
exclusive interview with Italian author Luca Ferrari about the enigmatoic Mike
Taylor who is best known for having written several songs for Cream. Jon muses
about reviews Gabriella Coleman on Anonymous. Doug interviews The Musical Box,
and -I almost forgot - there is a personal message from Rick Wakeman. Thom waxes
all poetical like, whilst the legendary Roy Weard continues his regular column.
And there is a radio show from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive, and the
return of Strange Fruit with a football themed show. There is also a collection
of more news, reviews, views, interviews and water opossums with something to
lose (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials planning to pray to St Anthony of
Padyua for an intercession, 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!!!

You can download the magazine in pdf form HERE:
* 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, and a small kitten totally coincidentally named after one of the
Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, 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, and the adventurous kitten?
