The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
For those of you interested in such things, the new episode of OTT came out

today.

THE MY PEOPLE WERE FAIR AND HAD STARS IN THEIR WASSNAMES ISSUE
In this awesomely groovy issue, Jeremy critiques the new biography of the
legendary Steve Peregrin Took, once of T Tex, and later of Shagrat, but always
of Ladbroke Grove, Richard eulogises the Maya Youssef Trio, Doug goes to see
Andreas Vollenweider, Alan gets the blues revival, Biffo gets a series, and Jon
gets all hippylike.
Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, AND Friday Night Progressive,
AND Mack Maloney. TheRE ARE columns from all sorts of folk including Neil Nixon,
Roy Weard, C J Stone, Mr Biffo AND the irrepressible Corinna. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and southern dibblers who
have gone for a snooze (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have
probably got hangovers and have decided to have a little rest, but I got carried
away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the

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?
