THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS BRIGHT-EYED AND BUSHY-TAILED

The Gonzo Daily - Monday/Tuesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

And so another week starts reasonably auspiciously. Chloe was here this afternoon, and worked extremely hard and productively. We, as often is the way these days, achieved a lot. And she will be back tomorrow as a pupil of Professor Jon's Academy of Young ladies,for an English lesson and possibly some filming for the new series of OTT. Oh, happy days. Today's song of the day for both Gonzo and CFZ is actually the first mainstream song to Include the word 'Fucking'. Check out who it is; I think you will be surprised.

 

And by the way chaps and chappesses, a trip to the Jon Downes megastore: if you want to make me a happy fellow, you can:

And so the Gonzo Weekly behemoth trundles on and we celebrate our two hundredth issue with Rick Wakeman talking to Deep Purple’s Ian Paice, Alan meeting Sendelica, Doug going to see Coldplay, Jon rambling on about how the end of the Cold War has affected the thriller industry, and all sorts of other groovy stuff.  And how much does it all cost again?

 

And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, and Friday Night Progressive. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. There is also a thrilling and slightly disturbing episode of Xtul. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons outside zoos (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have escaped from captivity, 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!!!

* 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.co.uk

 

* 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 57 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two small kittens, one 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. 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 kittens?
