The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
Many thanks to everyone who answered my cry for help yesterday. I am most
grateful. So today sees the last day of filming for the next episode of OTT. I
hate to be all enigmatic but there are all sorts of things happening behind the
scenes with both CFZ and Gonzo but I cannot talk about any of it yet. Don't you
just hate it when people say things like that? Elitest bleeders.
On the upside, there is another Justified Ancients of Mu Mu happening in
London on the 23/11. And no, of course it is not going to be a tawdry new EDM
record. However I have high hopes of there being a Xtul record before the end of
the year and that most definitely will be a tawdry new EDM record.
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:
But now, here is the news:

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?
