The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme
I woke this morning at half past nine and got up for a pee,
then went back to bed for a half hour snooze and didn't wake up until
three
so when I came down running stupidly late it was a nice surprise for
me
to find the debut album by Anderson/Ponty...
Sundays don't get much better than this.

Century. John B-G looks at West Coast psychedelia on Youy Tube, and Jon presents
a round up of anarchopunk news. Thom waxes all poetical like, whilst the

radio specials from the folk wot bring you Strange Fruit. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons wanting a
snooze (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who stayed up too late last

SPECIAL NOTICE: If you, too, want to unleash the power of your inner rock
journalist, and want to join a rapidly growing band of likewise minded weirdos
please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk The more the merrier really.
* 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 56 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?
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. 
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
