The Gonzo
Daily: Monday/Tuesday
YER EDITOR
SEZ:
This is going to
mightily annoy dear Richard, and quite possibly some other people I won't
mention, but I really enjoyed the first episode of the new Doctor Who last
night. It was cinematically gorgeous and Jodie Wassname was excellent. But it
has to be said that I was never one of the people who had apoplexy over the
thought that the latest Doctor might be a woman. After all the Doctor has two
hearts; why shouldn't they have two x-chromosomes?
I still want
someone who knows about marketing to come on board with the CFZ. I have the
financial acumen of a small newt and find finance really rather vulgar, so would
be incredibly happy if someone else came on board to do it. There may also be
room for someone else to work on OTT as a Production Assistant if anyone is
interested. I would very much like to become the acceptable face of alternative
capitalism, if only so I can send rude and threatening letters to myself, so
please get in touch.
Corinna is still
largely pain free, and being pretty damn magnificent. Thank you to all of you
who keep on praying for us. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and
prayers. I am convinced that the barrage of love and blessings you have sent us
so far has borne remarkable results. And being at the receiving end of such a
torrent of positive vibes is a truly wonderful and humbling
experience.
Meanwhile I
continue to pretend that I am a popstar, because now I have sold eight whole
copies of my new album Coldharbour. If I continue at this rate I will get a
silver disc sometime at the beginning of the next millenium. Coldharbour, by the
way, can be found here: https://jondownes1.bandcamp.com/releases
I think it is
really rather good, but then again I would say that wouldn't
I?

Stone, AND Roy Weard AND Mr Biffo but the irrepressible Corinna is on hiatus.
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!!!

* 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 59 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?
