The Gonzo Daily - 3rd January
On the tenth Day of Christmas, oh yes I've done it
right
once again Maximilian and I were up all blimmin night
and we drank a
bottle of brandy and a couple of bottles of wine
and although its two, he's
still asleep, but I am feeling fine
And now we have something for you, the first in
2015
there's a brand new issue of the Gonzo Weekly magazine
which we
finished rather late last night and would like to say to you
that we're
really rather proud of it, and we hope you like it too
Mice on Stilts, Kate Bush, Three Friends, PFM,
Yusof, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder, King Crimson, Elbow, The National, Jon
Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Yes, Hawkwind, and Daevid Allen fans had better look
out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#111) will soon
be available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has Mice on Stilts on the front cover, and an interview with the band, Doug's
totally subjective top ten gigs of last year, we send Lee Pomeroy, prog bass
player to the stars to a desert island, and there are shows from the
multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night
Progressive, and the titular submarine dwellers are lost at sea, whilst Xtul are
still causing havoc in the forest. 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!!!

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?
