A SHAMELESS PLUG
Gonzo #48 is now available for your delectation. I am very proud to say that we have several really rather cool exclusives this week. We have an exclusive interview with Sepand from the massively groovy Days Between Stations, on whose new album legendary Yes guitarist Peter Banks played his final sessions. Still on a Yes theme we have another exclusive interview with Oliver Wakeman in which he talks about his exciting new project with Gordon Giltrap, and his days in the most fraught prog rock band of all. We also introduce a smashing new band called ShiSho and bring new news of legendary ELP lyricist Pete Sinfield's heart attack...
But we also bring you:
THIS WEEK WE BRING YOU BRUCE STERLING, SHISHO, PAUL MCCARTNEY, ROBERT SHEA, ROBERT ANTON WILSON, ERIS, PETE SINFIELD, ROSEANNA ARQUETTE, CAL SMITH, GORDON GILTRAP, OLIVER WAKEMAN, DAYS BETWEEN STATIONS, PETER BANKS, JOHN HOPKINS, SANTANA, ALAN WHITE, JON ANDERSON, VANGELIS, PINK FLOYD, PSEUDO/SENTAI, SHINEBACK, EQUILIBRIUM, PERCY JONES, PETER GABRIEL, NEIL NIXON, STRANGE FRUIT, MICK FARREN/ANDY COLQUHOUN, GARY WINDO, MICHAEL DES BARRES, HAKEN, ALAN MOORE, JOHN HIGGS, DAN WOODING, KING SQUEALER, MAURICE O'MAHONEY, RICK WAKEMAN, ROB AYLING, HAWKWIND, YES, THE NINE HENRYS
And it is all free.
This is quite simply the best magazine you will ever find that is edited by a mad bloke (and his orange kitten), and produced from a tumbledown potato shed in North Devon. The fact that it is published with Gonzo Multimedia - probably the grooviest record company in the known universe - is merely an added bonus.
Thank you once again to Rob Ayling, the Gonzo grande fromage for allowing me the chance to do something as insane as this magazine and above all a big thank you to YOU, the readers, for having borne out my assertion that there are indeed people who listen to both Crass and Fairport Convention and like everything from Prog Metal to Folk to Punk to Avant Garde noise. Frunobulax and I are truly not alone.

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in. So after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo Corinna took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.
TODAY'S BIG CAT ROUND UP
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. In September 2012 Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.
THE GONZO BLOG DO-DAH MAN TRIES HIS BEST

Sunday lunchtime, feeling mellow
your editor is a cheerful fellow

Why? Some people ask confused
it's merely to keep me amused
but like I once said to my wife
what better aim is there in life?

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: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

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 the orange cat?
