The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
Well, it has been quite a nice day so far. Corinna is in Exeter with Shosh,
Mother and Graham are doing their own inimitable thing, and I have a sneak
preview of the new Pink Fairies album which is very groovy indeed. What else is
there to say? Not a bleedin' sausage
And now for the news................

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:

Gonzo Magazine #203
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!!!

* 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

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?
