The Gonzo Daily: Thursday
Graham has arrived safely in America, and yesterday Charlotte and I did
some successful and rather enjoyable filming. Chatting to Graham via Facebook
Messenger, apparently Boston is "muggy" and he will be flying out out to Phoenix
in about six hours. Apart from this there is a serious dearth of news to share
with you all.
Changing the subject completely, is there anyone reading this who has any
experience in coding apps? Even more importantly, if you do, would you be
prepared to lend your expertise to us for a few hours? Email me please at
jon@eclipse.co.uk.
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:
And by the way chaps and chappesses, a trip to the Jon Downes megastore
seems to be in order: if you want to make me a happy fellow, you can:
buy my novel:
buy the record by the main protagonist of the novel who isn't me in an
elephant mask, honest:
buy my single:
But for now, here is the news:

DAVE BROCK INTERVIEW
Gonzo Weekly #284
THE NO LOVE LIKE STRANGE LOVE ISSUE
In the week where things get stranger than strange, Doug interviews the
mighty Strangelove, we interview Biff Vernon about a series of maritime art
projects in Lincolnshire, John gives us a debriefing about Record Store Day
2018, Alan remembers the Necessaries, and Jon muses on Morrissey and remembers
Anarchopunk LPs.

rather naughty, AND Mack Maloney, AND Friday Night Progressive, there are

irrepressible Corinna, and Roy Weard, and C J Stone, tho' Mr Biffo are sadly
absent this week. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views,
interviews and long nosed potoroos who have stood around waiting for other
potoroos (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have decided to stage a
reading of the Samuel Beckett classic, 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
