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:
I am on the wagon for a week or so,
and am trying to detox,
cos I don't feel well, I'd have you know,
so my booze is under locks,
I do this every year or two,
to give my liver time to recover,
its something that I need to do,
cos I'm not gonna grow me another.
ciao....
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:

THE BACK TO THE VINYL FUTURIST ISSUE
In the week where it has been announced that the recorded music industry in
the UK has had its best year since Britpop, John looks at Record Store Day 2018
from the point of view of a Gonzo reader, Alan does some extraordinary things in
Lithuania, Doug looks at an unfairly overlooked Genesis album, and Jon mutters
on about Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, and global reapolitik.
#Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, AND Mack Maloney, AND Friday
Night Progressive is on hiatus this week, there are columns from all sorts of
folk including Neil Nixon, Kev Rowlands AND the irrepressible Corinna, although
Roy Weard, C J Stone, and Mr Biffo are sadly absent this week. There is also a
collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and southern dibblers who
have stood around in twos (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have
paired up under last weekend's blue moon, 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

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?
