The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday
I am really enjoying today so far. The coffee
tastes gorgeous and the nine little axolotls in the tank outside my office door
are swimming around happily. The trouble is with days like this, however, that
my incipient paranoia kicks in and I always think something horrible is going to
happen to spoil it all...
Raz Band, Joey Molland, Badfinger, Stills-Young
Band, Barnstorm, Fleetwood Mac, Gram Parsons, Roy Weard, Dogwatch, That
Legendary Wooden Lion, Hawkwind, Jon Anderson, and Yes fans had better look
out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#139) is
available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has Michael Raz and Joey Molland on the front cover together with an interview
with the Raz Man himself inside. Doug looks at the updated and remastered
edition of Yes' Relayer, John B-G goers to see Fleetwood Mac and Jon examines a
book about Gram Parsons. Xtul are very near to a climax. 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 one from those
jolly nice chaps at Strange Fruit. There is also a collection of more news,
reviews, views, interviews and pademelons with books to peruse (OK, nothing to
do with small marsupials in a literary mood, 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!!!

All issues from #70 can be downloaded at
www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you
have problems downloading, just email me and I will add you to the Gonzo Weekly
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, 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?
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.
