CRYPTOZOOLOGY ONLINE: Still on the Track: 12/03/18

The Gonzo Daily: Monday/Tuesday

https://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/

YER EDITOR SEZ:

I come from a family of fairly devout folk who arte/were/have been reasonably intimately involved with the Church of England. And so there really is no excuse for my cock-up of yesterday: I wrote Epiphany when I meant Advent. But nobody has commented so I don't think I shall be going straight to Hades and the ministrations of the cornute one.

Once again I am fluttering an Aescuplian prayer flag high above the noosphere but whereas she does not return to hospital until the end of February, my darling wife Corinna is still in intermittent discomfort and some pain, but we are doing our best to manage it. Please remember us in your thoughts and prayers, because I remain convinced that the massive outpouring ofgood vibes which have come in our direction since July, have been responsible for the cautiously positive aetiology of her illness so far.

Thank you all of you.

And by the way chaps and chappesses, a trip to the Jon Downes megastore may seem to be in order:

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?

I do have good news to impart: Lars Thomas' book about the mystery land animals of Scandinavia and the Baltic States has been uploaded, and over at Gonzo the first volume of Kev Rowland's The Progressive Underground is also imminent. And at Fortean Fiction, my latest novel - 'Zen and Xenophobia' - vaguely a sequel to 2015's 'The Song of Panne' - is now available.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zen-Xenophobia-happened-after-Panne/dp/1909488569/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540992221&sr=8-1&keywords=zen+and+xenophobia

! would warn you that if you are of a nervous disposition, or easily offended, you will find parts of my novel both offensive and upsetting. There is sex, violence, drug abuse, occultism, pornography, firearms, politics, religion, and not a little sociology. But there is also love, kindness, faith, and redemption. And it's a cracking good yarn. Or I think so, at any rate. All I would say on the subject before bidding you farewell is Caveat Lector. And I'm not gonna explain what that means, because because if you don't know what that means then you probably shouldn't be reading the book in the first place.

AND THE LATEST ISSUE OF THE GONZO MAGAZINE:

Gonzo Weekly #303/4

THE WE TOOK THE WRONG STEP YEARS AGO ISSUE

http://www.gonzoweekly.com/

This is a very Hawkwind-centric issue: Graham talks about the latest tour, and John goes to see them at The Palladium. But we also have Richard Seizing Lambeth Bridge with Extinction Rebellion, Alan critiquing The Beatles reissued White Album, and interviewing Playground Theory, Carl and Geordie go searching for zombie locations, and Jon bumbles on about Digitiser the Show and a book that lifts the lid on the New Labour government of twenty years ago.

#Hail Eris!

And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, AND Friday Night Progressive, AND there are columns from Kev Rowlands, BUT C J Stone, AND Mr Biffo AND Neil Nixon, AND Roy Weard AND the irrepressible Corinna are on hiatus. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and rock wallabies who've blown a fuse (OK, nothing to do with the relatively small macropods who are having electrical problems, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stickat. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!

This issue features:

Digitiser, Paul Rose, Mr Biffo, Norm MacPherson, Martin Springett, Richard Freeman, Strange Fruit, Friday Night Progressive, Mack Maloney's Mystery Hour, Cyril Pahinui, Alexander "Alec" Finn, Masahiro Sayama, Stan Lee, Evgeny Viktorovich Osin, Jens "Malle-Jens" Büchner, Al James, Luis Enrique Gatica Silva, Rasmus Berg, The Fall, Tony Palmer, Chad Mitchell Trio, Deviants IXVI, Mick Farren, Steve Bonino, Kev Rowland, Alan Dearling, Marcy Moo, Playground Theory, Extinction Rebellion, Richard Foreman, Blackheart Orchestra, Hawkwind, John Brodie-Good, The White Album, The Beatles, Norman Baker, Noshir Mody, Alien Weaponry, Octopus, Other Animal, Paradise Lost, PHI, Project:Patchworth, Carl Marshall, Geordie Jackson,

The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue, Stephan Speelman, Hawkwind, Jonathan Downes, The Coldharbour Diaries, The Wild Colonial Boy, Martin Springett, The Catholic Orangemen of Togo,

Craig Murray

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 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?
