The Gonzo Daily - Friday
This week has come and gone very fast. The children
go home this evening, and we resume our normal condition for a couple of weeks.
I am not feeling my brightest and best today, so I shall probably have a rest
this afternoon before getting on with finishing the latest issue of the magazine
this evening...
Joe Cocker, Osibisa, Rocket Scientists, Erik
Norlander, Beatrles, Robert Plant, Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Yes, Hawkwind,
and Daevid Allen fans had better look out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#112) will soon
be available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has Rocket Scientists on the front cover, and an interview with the band inside,
Jon lookls at the legendary unreleased Beatles music, we send Pete from
Sendelica to a desert island, critique the new Robert Plant biography, 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 still lost
at sea, whilst Xtul are still causing havoc in the forest. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and manatees looking for
booze (OK, nothing to do with alcoholic sirenians, 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!!!
Read the previous few issues of Gonzo
Weekly:
All issues from #70 can be downloaded at

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?
