The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
Corinna's birthday went very well yesterday, and dear Shosh worked like a
Trojan. I am not feeling very well at the moment, and the only real cure will be
sleep. So I am taking this week off, there won't be a magazine this week, and
next weekend's will be a double issue to make up for it. The blogs will be done,
but quite possibly not by me...

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 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:

elephant mask, honest:
buy my single:
But for now, here is the news:

Gonzo Weekly #294
THE SEE JUNGLE SEE JUNGLE GO JOIN YOUR GANG YEAH CITY ALL OVER GO APE CRAZY
ISSUE
In this remarkably eclectic issue, which is one of my favourites for a
while, Doug meets Annabella Lwin from the legendary Bow Wow Wow. Wow! Alan
discusses the rewilding of the British coastline, John takes a critical look at
Dweezil Zappa, Wooden Sjhips, Jessica Risker and more, while Jon talks about
Mott the Hoople and Sadie Mae Glutz and Graham brings us up to date with
Hawkwind news. YOU CANNOT GET MUCH MORE ECLECTIC THAN THAT!
#Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, AND Mack Maloney, AND Friday
Night Progressive is on hiatus this week, AND there are columns from all sorts
of folk including Kev Rowlands AND the irrepressible Corinna, although Neil
Nixon, and Roy Weard, and C J Stone, and Mr Biffo are having a well-deserved
week off. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews
and red kangaroos who've lost their shoes (OK, nothing to do with the largest
extant macropods who are in a quandry with regards their footwear, 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?
