The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday
YER EDITOR SEZ:
Today, Lilith (the little black cat) learned a valuable lesson. She jumped
onto the roof of the bottom aviary, and from there down into the chicken run,
whereupon the feathered ladies within chased her round and round in circles
until she jumped back on the aviary and fled to safety. I think that anyone who
doubts the fact that birds are the descendants of coelurosaurian theropod
dinosaurs, should really come over here, buy a tin of sardines for a bribe. and
sit down with Lilith and talk about the matter.

AND THE LATEST ISSUE OF THE GONZO MAGAZINE:
Gonzo Weekly #295-6
THE BANISHING THE SUMMERTIME BLUES BUMPER ISSUE
In this remarkably eclectic issue, Kev interviews the legendary Robert
Berry about 3, his relationship with Keith Emerson and more. Alan goes to
Holmesfest, Richard goes to the New Forest Folk Festival, and John goes to The
Moon. Doug investigates Depeche Mode, Jon asks why YouTube is so cruel, and
wonders whether Joan Aiken was the mother of Steampunk, and questions whether
anyone will get his Dornford Yates joke... YOU CANNOT GET MUCH MORE ECLECTIC
THAN THAT!
#Hail Eris!
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, AND Friday
Night Progressive, AND there are columns from all sorts of folk including Kev
Rowlands, the irrepressible Corinna, Neil Nixon, Roy Weard, C J Stone, and Mr
Biffo. 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?
