WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN



It's sunday, and once again it's true
I have some lousy rhymes for you
for each week for better or for worse
I do my sunday blogs in verse

The reason is not hard to see, 
its just that it amuses me,
so it only remains for me to say
here's the rhyming postings for today...


First off is Thom, our own world poet
groovy as ever, wouldn't you know it
he's dashed off an erudite note
updating something Rimbaud wrote
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/10/thom-world-poet-daily-poem_7.html

Down in the antipodes
he's gonna tinkle the ivories
and today we've posted more
about Rick Wakeman's NZ Tour
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/rick-wakeman-in-nz-after-37-years.html

Someone who is always in vogue
is Erik Norlander talking Moog
synthesisers and other techie stuff
'till everyone has had enough
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/link-interview-erik-norlander-on-moog.html

And now a special download show
of a recent radio
presentation of words and song
from Daevid Allen (him from Gong)
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/home-listen-watch-schedule-programmes.html

And now a special press release
so cool it'll bring you to your knees
what's it about? Well, can't you guess?
Michael Des Barres on NCIS
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/10/press-release-glam-rock-icon-and.html

And whilst talking about the cool Marquis
here's something else for you to see
presented here from me to you
it's a Michael Des Barres interview
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/10/link-69-faces-of-rock-michael-des.html

And here's something you might have missed
a historical revisionist
who says The Beatles've had their day
and aren't still relevant today
which isn't really in the groove
you might have guessed we don't approve
so we're out on an off topic limb
as Jon and Rich take a pop at him
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/10/link-vitriolic-editorial-about-beatles.html

And Roger Waters lends a hand
to celebrate Levon from The Band
in a recent video we've found
of 'The Night they Drove old Dixie down'
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/10/roger-waters-love-for-levon-video-from.html

So once again for another week
that's enough rhymes from this Gonzo freak

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 Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
