The Gonzo Daily: Thursday
And so it is magazine day again. My week has sort of coalesced into some
sort of struccture, which is a first for anarchic ol' me! Beset by computer
irritations which are largely my fault, I can think of nothing particular to
write about except the merits of Tesco breakfast burritos, the biology of a
South Chinese mountain crab, and the fact that Android Emulators on PC are
particularly crappy, and I very much doubt whether anyone apart from me is
interested in any of those.
Forgive me for banging on about our webTV show, but it matters a lot to me,
and I would be grateful for an many people as possible to see it, and spread the
tidings of it far and wide:
But now, here is the news:
THE GONZO TRACK OF THE DAY: Behind The Iron Curta...
THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem
Kevin Ayers Tribute By Soft Machine & Then Jakko &...
MIKE WESTBROOK IN THE NEWS
YES/YES feat ARW IN THE NEWS
Gonzo Weekly #252
THE STRANGEFOLK ISSUE
In which Kev Rowland returns to dear old Blighty, goes to Cropredy, meets
Richard Thompson, watches Fairport Convention and friends, pays a visit to Stu
Nicholson in hospital, and more. Jeremy examines The Flaming Groovies new album,
Alan reads Sammy Stein, and Jon grieves for an old friend...
And is there more? You can bet your pondohs there is. And it is all
free/buckshee/gratis
Wooooot!
And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Strange Fruit, and Friday
Night Progressive. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy
Weard, C J Stone, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. There is
also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and common planigales
who have cooked some stews (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have
been sulinarily creative, 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!!!
