THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN CALLS OFF THE DOGS

The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

I strongly suspect that everyone in the UK, and quite a few people from elsewhere in the world, will have tomorrow’s election as the focus of their attention. There are also almost too many events on the world stage to count, and so because my head is beginning to hurt keeping up with it all, today I am going to write about something else entirely.

Last week, I put out an appeal for proofreaders, who would be interested in working on forthcoming CFZ projects. I was very pleased with the response that I got. If you wrote to me, please don’t be offended that I haven’t written back. The lovely Olivia and I will be writing to you all later today.

But guess what, kiddies? I’m on the want again. We are working on a major book project about yeti sightings in Soviet Central Asia, and Chris, who – together with Lars – is running this project, has pointed out that we will be needing a whole string of maps. Is there anybody out there reading this who likes drawing maps? An amateur cartographer? If you fancy becoming involved in a fascinating and absolutely unique project, will you please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk? As always, I’m afraid, we are not in a position to pay people, but you will get a free copy of the book, a credit within, and the satisfaction of knowing that you are part of a unique undertaking.

And now, here is the news:

We go all Rashomon on you and publish two different reviews of Hawkwind’s triumphant return to The Roundhouse, Alan mans the Listening Post and Corinna hunts Lycanthropes in

Cornwall. Jon muses about Lightning, the Bay City Rollers and critiques the long awaited Roger Waters album, and Davey Curtis goes to see Dutch freakmusos My Baby!

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.

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?
