I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

And so another week begins. It is grey, close and muggy, and certainly doesn't feel like it is the beginning of July. However we have an exciting week ahead - Michael Des Barres' album 'Carnaby Street' is released tomorrow, and it is also my wife's birthday. How much more excitement can we stand?

On with the show:

I have to admit that I had not heard of these guys before I received a brief and to the point email from the Gonzo grande fromage with this newsletter attached. But after posting this exciting news I checked them out, and they are a bloody good band...

You may or may not have noticed, but Liz from Auburn and I have been conversing through the medium of rhyme over the last few weeks. It keeps us amused, and gives me a welcome excuse to publicise her fantastic album 'Indian Summer'...

It takes a long time to do and is a fairly tedious task so I am not promising that they will be done each day, but I will do them as regularly as I can. JD
