THE BALTIC BOOGIE ISSUE

http://www.gonzoweekly.com/

And so, in this especially poignant issue, we say goodbye to Allan Holdsworth, explore the wilder side of Balkan street art with Alan, muse about Auld Man's Baccie, discover why The Grateful Dead did NOT sponsor the Lithuanian Basketball Team, we go to Dreadzone with John, and read books about The Beatles, The Bay City Rollers, and Brian Jones.

Groovy huh?

It’s all free!

And there are radio shows from Mack Maloney, Friday Night Progressive, and Strange Fruit. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons outside zoos (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have escaped from captivity, 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!!!

This issue features:

Auld Man's Baccie, Prince, Ann Wilson, Dean Wetter, Heart, Radiohead, David Bowie, V&A, Yes, Strange Fruit, Friday Night Progressive, Mack Maloney's Mystery Hour, Allan Holdsworthy, Sylvia Rose Moy, Bruce Langhorne, Barry ‘Frosty’ Smith, Pat 'Fitzy' Fitzpatrick, Cuba Gooding Sr., Emmie Beckitt and Rick Wakeman, Supertramp, Ashton, Gardner and Dyke, Al Atkins, Arthur Brown, Atomic Rooster, Mary Hopkin, Alan Dearling, Lithuania, John Brodie-Good, Dreadzone, Kev  Rowland, Soniq Theater, The Hollowmen, Overkill, Mr. Biffo, Roy Weard, Hawkwind, Olivia McCarthy, Martin Springett, Bay City Rollers, The Beatles, Brian Jones, Woodstock, Fender, Gwen Steffani, Neil Nixon, Culturcide

TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS

The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. 

There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. 

The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.
