The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme
I had a call from Beth last night
asking did we have space for a gull
that cannot fly and isn't right
and I thought that life would be dull
without a seabird (jolly good)
to make the garden stink of fish
So I replied "of course we would
to have a gull's my dearest wish!"
THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
Gregg Brown Review
PLAYLIST: Strange Fruit #173
THE GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: Let All Mortal Flesh K...
THE GONZO WEEKLY #193
Gonzo Magazine #193
We interview Martin Birke of the mighty Genre Peak about their
extraordinary new album, Doug goes to see Peter Gabriel and Sting, and Alan
concludes his visit to the Edinburgh Blues and Jazz Festival, while Jon muses on
The Eagles and Anton LaVay and looks at the most scurrilous book about the
Rolling Stones... What other magazine gives you all this for free?
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
* 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?
