Yesterday was a very nice day. Jessica and I
achieved a lot in the office, she found my missing copy of Adobe Acropbat 9, and
is learning the craft of a book designer very fast and well. She is a lovely
child, and I love having her in the office. In the evening we had a Chinese
takewaway, which means cold Chinese food for breakfast. Yummy. My love and good
vibes go out to Martin Eve who had an accident on his bicycle this morning and
hurt himself. I hope he will be repaired ready for friday.
Mick Abrahams, Jethro Tull, Blodwyn Pig, Magma,
Robin Trower, G.G.Allin and the Murder Junkies, Brian Wilson, Mark Ellen,
Hawkwind, Jon Anderson, and Yes fans had better look out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#125) is
available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has Mike Abrahams on the cover, and inside yours truly interviews the man
himself about his extraordinary new album. Doug writes about Magma, Davey Curtis
goes to see Robin Trower, and Jon critiques the new Brian Wilson album and the
delightful autobiography of Mark Ellen. Neil Nixon reports on an even stranger
album than usual, Wyrd goes avant garde, Xtul gets even more peculiar, and there
are radio shows from Strange Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night
Progressive, and the titular submarine dwellers are still lost at sea, although
I have been assured that they will hit land again soon. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons trying to
choose (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials having difficulty in making
choices, 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!!!

Weekly:
All issues from #70 can be downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you

dropbox. The first 69 issues are archived there as well. Information is power
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?
A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.
