The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
We had a jolly time yesterday and took Doug Harr on
a touristy trip around North Devon whereupon he fell down the Pebbleridge and we
went down the pub with Mother. We then went home and Corinna made a delicious
vegetable jalousie whilst Doug introduced us all to the wonder that is Black
Russians. A splendid time was had by all.
Pink Fairies, Jaki Windmill, Sophia Sage, Carl
"Blue" Wise, Steleye Span, Fun Loving Criminals, Echo and the Bunnymen, Roy
Weard, Dogwatch, That Legendary Wooden Lion, Hawkwind, Jon Anderson, and Yes
fans had better look out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#140) is
available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has Jaki Windmill of the Pink Fairies on the front cover together with an
interview with her inside. Doug goes to see Steeleye Span, John B-G talks about
getting the most out of digital music, and Jon interviews a massively talented
young lady called Sophia,and remembers his worst gigs. Davey goes to see the Fun
Loving Criminals, and Lee remembers an encounter with Echo and the Bunnymen.
Xtul take an unexpected twist. Thom waxes all poetical like, whilst the
legendary Roy Weard continues his regular column. 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 pademelons with books to peruse (OK, nothing to do with small
marsupials in a literary mood, 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!!!

Read the previous few issues of Gonzo
Weekly:
All issues from #70 can be downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you
have problems downloading, just email me and I will add you to the Gonzo Weekly
dropbox. The first 69 issues are archived there as well. Information is power
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, and a small kitten totally coincidentally
named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, 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, and the adventurous kitten?
