The Gonzo Daily – Wednesday
http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.htmlYesterday was really rather a nice one. Those of you eagerly awaiting the first CFZ Yearbook for a couple of years will be glad to know that I finally started work on it (about four months late). People eagerly awaiting this weekend's issue of the Gonzo Weekly (or Gonzo Magazine, I can't decide which to call it) have an interview with Fred Frith by the mighty Alan Dearling, and an interview with Mike Livesley, mastermind and central honcho of the awesome revival of Viv Stanshall's 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson End' (which sounds so much like various of my more eccentric wino relatives that you wouldn't believe).
In the meantime if you feel that you have too much money in your pocket, you can.....

http://www.gonzoweekly.com/David Gilmour, Pink Floyd, Jaqui McShee, Pentangle, Beatles, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Frank Zappa, Elvis Presley, Mr Biffo, Roy Weard, Dogwatch, That Legendary Wooden Lion, Hawkwind, and Yes fans had better look out!
David Gilmour is on the front cover, and Doug goes to see him at the Hollywood Bowl inside, whilst John goes to an even more prestigious venue in Wimborne to see Jaqui McShee's Pentangle. Jon gets all metaphysical about The Beatles whilst Alan talks about Yoko Ono (and John Lennon), while we review two books about Frank Zappa and Biffo reveals religious art featuring Sonic the Hedgehog. There are radio shows from Strange Fruit and Mack Maloney, the latest installment of the saga of Xtul, and columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna who this week has Elvis in her sights (uh huh huh). There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons ouyside 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!!!

http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/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 56 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?
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
