The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
Today is a jolly one. Charlotte is coming over later to put the finishing
touches to OTT#85 and to film a new intro for the Patreon Page. Oh! Didn't I
tell you? The Patreon Page for OTT is finally up after a lot of work from Louis
in Sussex. You can access it here:
The new Morrissey album isn't even out yet, and it is provoking strong
responses. The Quietus posted a massively funny review which basically ripped it
to shreds.
But there is a vague reconstruction of it on YouTube with live versions of
some songs interspersed with the studio versions of ones that have already been
released, with only two missing. And I have to admit that I thought it sounded
promising. I am expecting some money next week and will probably buy it. I will
report back then.
Forgive me for always banging on about our webTV show, but it matters a lot
to me, and I would be grateful for as many people as possible to see it, and
spread the tidings of it far and wide:
And if you fancy supporting us on Patreon:
But for now, here is the news:
YES ALUMNI IN THE NEWS
THE MAGIC BAND ON TOUR
BARBARA DICKSON IN THE NEWS
THE GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: The Beach Boys Surf's ...
THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
Gonzo Weekly #260
THE PORT OF HAMSTER JAM ISSUE
Alan visits a festival in an Amsterdam squat, John goes to see Steely Dan,
Davey goes to see the Hawklords, Jon muses on Alexandra David-Neel and Led
Zeppelin, and Neil waxes lyrical on some groovy psychedelic ephemera! And there
is more alright.
Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Strange Harvest, Friday Night
Progressive and Canterbury Sans Frontieres. We also have columns from all sorts
of folk including Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna, although Roy Weard,
C J Stone, Mr Biffo, are taking a week off. There is also a collection of more
news, reviews, views, interviews and long nosed potoroos who have done lots of
poos (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have been at the laxatives,
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 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?
