Gonzo Weekly #259

Gonzo Weekly #259
THE ALL HALLOWS ISSUE
In this week’s post-Samhain issue, Alan has a punk Hallowe’en in Gosport, Neil looks at freaky psychedelic obscurities, John sees the Doobie Brothers in Dublin, and Jon, once again, finds himself musing on the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, and following the 400 on Twitter.
Hail Eris!

And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Strange Harvest 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 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?

THE GONZO HEN HAS A WEAK END

The Gonzo Daily - Sunday
And for no real reason Sunday's notifications are done in rhyme
 
It's Sunday so again its time
to do the daily blogs in rhyme:
 
Though I've done a lot, I'm sad to say
it's been a Curate's Egg of a day
My car's broken down leaving Graham adrift
and there's village fireworks and the doggies are miffed
but I have done lots of next week's mag
and most of OTT85's in the bag
and so when I have done these blogs
I’m going off to drink some gin with the dogs.
 
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:
