The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
I felt terrible when I woke up about two hours
later than I should have done, but two large breakfasts and a healthy dose of
the Sleaford Mods later, I am feeling far better than I have any right to do,
and am actually rather enjoying today.
For years people have been complaining that since
the demise of the ISC there has been no peer-reviewed cryptozoological journal.
So, three or four years ago I decided that we ought to start one, so I
approached Dr Karl Shuker with the idea and the rest is history. As regular
readers of my daily ramblings will know, Volume Three of the Journal of
Cryptozoology came out earlier this week. They have sold out on Amazon already
and will be having more copies in soon. However, if you want to buy it direct
from us, you can get it at a special discounted price of £5.99 plus a quid's
postage direct from www.journalofcryptozoology.com.
C'mon guys, dig deep.
Atkins-May Project, Judas Priest, Judge Smith,
Peter Hammill, Van der Graff Generator, Edgar Allan Poe, 4th Eden, Phil Collins,
Genesis, Monika, Hawkwind, Jon Anderson, and Yes fans had better look
out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#126) is
available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has The Atkins-May Project on the cover, and inside yours truly interviews Paul
May about the new Anthology project. Doug writes about Phil Collins, Jon
eulogises over Monika, and Michael Des Barres' new album, and interviews 4th
Eden, and the director of a new staging of Peter Hammill and Judge Smith's
classic opera 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. Jon critiques a book about
4Chan. Neil Nixon reports on an even stranger album than usual, Wyrd goes avant
garde, Xtul gets even more peculiar, and there are radio shows from Strange
Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive, and the titular submarine
dwellers are still lost at sea, although I have been assured that they will hit
land again soon. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views,
interviews and pademelons trying to choose (OK, nothing to do with small
marsupials having difficulty in making choices, 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!!!

Weekly:
All issues from #70 can be downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you

chaps, we have to share it!
* 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?
