THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN LOVES YOU, YEAH YEAH YEAH

The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday

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

 

Half way through the week, and we are eagerly awaiting Charlotte's arrival so we can put the latest issue of OTT to bed. It will be posted today (or at least I sincerely hope it will). The schedule is deliberately vague with is not specifying a broadcast date other than "the middle of each month") but Charlotte is here on Wednesdays so one does one's best to coordinate them.

 

The most exciting news of the day comes from Java where there is a report of mysterious deaths of livestock in the past few weeks.The most interesting thing about this story is not the attacks, although they are interesting in themselves. It is this: "Head of Gunung Kidul's Agriculture Agency Bambang Wisnu Broto suspected that the predators were tigers or wolves, which have seen their prey numbers dwindle following a prolonged drought in the region".

 

The interesting thing about this is that there are no wolves in Indonesia, although this may be a mistranslation or a local name for the Sumatran dhole. However Javan tigers have been generally considered to be extinct with the last known specimen shot in 1984, and the last positively identified pugmarks a few years later.

 

Finally, our collective condolences go out to the friends and family of Virgil Howe (brother of Dylan, son of Steve) who died unexpectedly yesterday aged 41.

 

By the way you can watch last month's episode of OTT:

* 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 58 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?
