Gonzo Magazine #203

http://www.gonzoweekly.com/

This week, we discover the extraordinary art and music of Martin Springett of The Gardening Club, John investigates Cary Grace, we find that Scott Walker can still ...gasp... write tunes, Alan writes about Banksy and other street art, and we are not very impressed by the latest slice of Harry Potter marketing.  And there is lots more besides.

Good ‘ere innit?

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!!!

This issue features:

Scott Walker, Bad Touch, The Bestemming Project, Steve Hillage, Bart Lancia, Arnold Palmer, Strange Fruit, Friday Night Progressive, Mack Maloney's Mystery Hour, Stephen John Byrd, Michael Casswell, Royal Torrence "Little Royal", Rodney Lynn "Rod" Temperton, Joan Marie Johnson Faust, Caroline Crawley, Donald H White, Rick Wakeman, Martin Stephenson and The Daintees, Archie Fisher & Barbara Dickson, Binky Womack, Arthur Brown, Nils Lofgren, Jackie Lee, Martin Springett, Alan Dearling, Banksy, John Brodie-Good, Cary Grace, Mr Biffo, Roy Weard, Hawkwind, Xtul, Harry Potter, Justin Bieber, Grateful Dead, John Lennon, The Ramones, The Beatles, Neil Nixon, Chimes of St. Dormition, Focus

SPECIAL NOTICE: If you, too, want to unleash the power of your inner rock journalist, and want to join a rapidly growing band of likewise minded weirdos please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk The more the merrier really.

* 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?
