THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN LETS HIS FREAK FLAG FLY

The Gonzo Daily - Thursday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

I am inundated with teenagers today. OK, there are just three, but when Jess and Tammy start chattering, and talking faster and faster and in a more and more high pitched tone, it is like being surrounded by a flock of beautiful, but flighty, chattering passerines, probably of the famiily Leiothrichidae.

 

And now for the blogs.

The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#135) is available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It has M Destiny of Friday Night Progressive on the front cover together with an exclusive interview with him on the occasion of the 4th anniversary of the show. There is an exclusive look at Alan Parsons live by Doug, and live reviews of Bridget St John and Michael Chapman by John, Jon examines a book by Rick Buckler, one time drummer of The Jam, and has a mild rant about Paul Weller whilst urging caution about the generation gap, Thom waxes all poetical like, whilst the legendary Roy Weard continues his regular column. Xtul reveals a bit of the backstory, and there is a radio show from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive, and one from those jolly nice chaps at Strange Fruit. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and southern dibblers in high heeled shoes (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials having difficulty in fashionable footwear, 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!!!

* 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.com/…/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit…

 

* 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 55 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. 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 infantile orange cat?
