The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
I have just had a really pleasant chat with Tim Bowness of NoMan and a
dozen other interesting projects. I have followed his work for years, and met
him a few years ago at a festival in Kent. And so I was very much looking
forward to our conversation, which didn't even slightly disappoint. However,
when I reminded him of our meeting, he gently told me that he hadn't been
anywhere near that festival. And so, for the past four years, when I have told
people that I met Tim from NoMan I have been unwittingly telling porkies.
I wonder who it actually was that I met?
And now, here is the news:
Gonzo Magazine #231
THE BALTIC BOOGIE ISSUE
And so, in this especially poignant issue, we say goodbye to Allan
Holdsworth, explore the wilder side of Balkan street art with Alan, muse about
Auld Man's Baccie, discover why The Grateful Dead did NOT sponsor the Lithuanian
Basketball Team, we go to Dreadzone with John, and read books about The Beatles,
The Bay City Rollers, and Brian Jones.
Groovy huh?
It’s all free!
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Friday Night Progressive, and
Strange Fruit. 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.
And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
