I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN

Sheri has gone back to Yorkshire. We miss her and hope she comes back to see us in the spring. In the meantime there was a peculiar accident with the caecilian tank yesterday; everything was OK when Graham checked, but when Richard and Sheri went to feed them half an hour later the tank was nearly empty of water. All the fish and all the caecilians, however, were saved. The fish are in a temporary transit tank and the caecilians are in a big plastic box on the kitchen floor. Richard is ill with a cold, and I am getting more and more into the second new Neil Young album of the year, and have also been listening to the mighty Ant-Bee's Electronic Church Muzik which goes very well with late night trippiness.
 
We start off with our daily visit to the world of Thom the World Poet
 
A new version of Rick Wakeman's classic 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' is imminent. Herewith Rick on video talking about it...
 
Gonzo Multimedia has an excellent Stephen Stills DVD in the Lost Broadcasts series which eminently gives me a perfect excuse to post this link to the man himself talking insightfully about the forthcoming US Elections...
 
Dave Brock from Hawkwind talks about his latest upcoming projects
 
A great review of the Erik Norlander live DVD/CD package
 
An interesting interview with Daevid Allen, the mainman of Gong for over four decades
 
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?
