The Gonzo Daily: Friday/Saturday
https://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/
I still feel a little icky (as my late mother would have said) and so, I am doing all the things I have to and then pottering for the rest of the day. So please, nobody expect anything more than a feeble wave from me today. Yesterday we took receipt of a magnificent Clarias walking catfish that I have named 'Clarence in Wonderland' because I am in a Kevin Ayers mood. He is like a fishy reincarnation of Prudence in that he does absolutely nothing unless there is food involved. This morning saw a face off between him and Squeaky (the cat whomn I truly didn't mean to name after one of the Manson Family). Clarence won, and Squeaky dissapeared out of the office door looking chastened. Tyhank you Helen for giving us such a magnificent fish.

YER EDITOR SEZ: THE DIGITAL PRAYER FLAG
You guys recently did massive amounts of praying for Corinna, and she now appears to be cancer free. I am convinced that these two things are related, with the outpouring of good vibes transmitted electronically, being a little like a Tibetan prayer flag. Having used it once to such good effect - I want to try it on a larger scale. I am still trying to work out the details, so watch this space.

Blessed be.

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?
AND THE LATEST ISSUE OF THE GONZO MAGAZINE:
Gonzo Weekly #345/6
THE DANCING RADICALLY ISSUE
http://www.gonzoweekly.com/
You will have to check people name spelling as still can't read it very well, but I think it is okay .. In this particularly eclectic issue, Alan sees Jah Wobble, Daniel Gaudi, Mark Stewart & RDF (Radical Dance Faction) and interviews their singer Chris Bowuber, the only person who has been in every line up of the band. Doug gives us a potted history of Goth, including Siouxie and the Banshees and the Cocteau Twins, Steve visits the Jarawa people of the Andaman Islands, Jon waxes lyrical about the lovely Melanie S Jane, reviews the new book by J.T. Wilson, and bitches on about the state of the nation, whilst we go to Glasto to critique Hawkwind and Stormzy. And finally we go behind the scenes of Rick Wakeman’s new box set.
Groovy eh?
Hail Eris!

There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and antichinuses who have lost their shoes (OK, nothing to do with tiny marsupials who are searching for their footwear, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at.

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, three other cats, 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 elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention Archie and the Cats?
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
