GONZO WEEKLY #194

Gonzo Magazine #194
 
We interview the lovely Liz Lenten from Auburn, Doug goes to see Adele, John goes to Alaska to watch whales and goes to see the Crazy World of Arthur Brown in the meantime. Alan goes to Kozfest, Jeremy goes to see Blue Oyster Cult, Jon muses on unreleased Pink Floyd and reviews a book by Bill Drummond.  Truly this is a massively groovy magazine!
 
And there are radio shows from Strange Fruit, Mack Maloney, and Friday Night  Progressive. We also have columns from all sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon and the irrepressible Corinna. There is also a thrilling and slightly disturbing episode of Xtul. There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons outside zoos(OK, nothing to do with small marsupials who have escaped from captivity, 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!!!

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
