I have something to say that will soothe your pain
Our websites are back up again
It was something to do with the DNS
But what that means, I cannot guess
It was a cock up by the ISP
But the explanation is all Greek to me
I'm here doing the blogs but I won't be stopping
in the office 'cos Corinna has gone out shopping
with Julia to Barnstaple,
so I will make myself comfortable,
in my favourite chair (no work to hustle)
and go to sleep with my Jack Russell
And here is the news:

THE SUPER DUPER YULE DOUBLE ISSUE
In this bumper holiday issue, Doug goes to see ARW (Anderson, Rabin and
Wakeman) in words and pictures, Jeremy goes to see Jimbob late of Carter USM,
Alan enthuses over the Bollywood Brass Band, Jon rails about Nostradamus and
presents his top ten records of the year. We also meet the mighty Sensorium
Girliebox, Tony Henderson has more Pink Fairies sculptures, there is a
competition to win ARW tickets, and Doug, Alan and John make some surprising
choices when writing about festive music. And, yes, Corinna tells a story.
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, and Friday
Night Progressive, whilst Canterbury Sans Frontieres is back ‘cos there was a
full moon last week. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy
Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. 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!!!

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 a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile
orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown 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 Archie and the Cats?
