The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html Yesterday was a frustrating day with all sorts of things going wrong so I had a few drinks last night and the only thing in my liquor cabinet (except for the good stuff that I am saving for a special occasion) was half a bottle of Slovenian rum which, mixed with sugar free cherryade is one of the nastiest things that I have ever drunk. However, it did the biz as Graham is wont to say, and I have a rather nasty hangover this morning. The only other social highlight of the day ahead of me is a visit to the Chriropody Department of Bideford and District Hospital this afternoon. Due to having been badly ripped off earlier in the year, we are spectacularly skint at the moment, but I have been skint before, and no doubt will be skint again in the future, and these hard times do pass.

It has The Pink Fairies on the cover, and features an interview with Andy Colquhoun about the current and future plans of the band including the long hoped for studio material. Rob Ayling visits legendary blues guitarist Mick Abrahams in his studio and find out about his exciting new album made with some very A-List sparring partners. Erik Norlander is very cagey about the new album from Rocket Scientists. But theres more! There is news about Daevid Allen, Doug Harr goes to see America and also gets hitched, Jon waxes lyrical about the new Pink Floyd album and then gets all existential. Xtul are still in the deep woods, and Corinna finds some real Beatles tat. Jon looks at a peculiar book about John Lennon and we send the mighty John Ellis (ex Vibrators and Stranglers and sidesman to Peter Gabriel and Peter Hammill to a desert island. There are also new shows from the multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and from M Destiny at Friday Night Progressive, and the massively talented Jaki and Tim are back with their submarine and Maisie the cow. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and turtles having a snooze (OK, no soporific chelonians, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at.

If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at [email protected]. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible.

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: gonzo-multimedia.blogspot/…/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 peoples 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?
