ONCE AGAIN, SOMETHING FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE KIND ENOUGH TO TAKE AN INTEREST IN MY DAY JOB




Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the latest episode in our new series: On The Track Xtra! We hope that you enjoy it. It contains: * Update about Lockdown * Jon and Charlotte talk remotely * Giant mushrooms * Jon is a fun guy * News about Corinna * News about Jon and his foot * Why Jon may seem non compos mentis in this issue * A pine marten in Suffolk? *Jon Vs the British Museum (Natural History) * Indonesian wildmen * Decline of rarer British carnivores * Wally and Kev Jevons tell us stuff I think the production values are ever improving and we are learning (slowly) all the bells and whistles which are now available via YouTube. I should - however - warn you that If you hear strange noises in the background of the segments which feature me doing a piece to camera, those are the filters of the two tanks in the office; one containing Clarence the walking catfish, and another containing a large and massively elusive Pristolepis leaf fish that we have been looking after for Max ever since he went off to university, something in the region of ten years ago. I really miss doing the Weird Weekends each year, but with the health problems currently bedevilling the CFZ to restart them is impossible. But I truly hope that these shows have something of the taste of the mixture of hard science, weird shit and surreal odness that made the 17 Weird Weekends such a joy to be part of. _________________________________ Some useful contacts: CFZ Website www.cfz.org.uk CFZ Patreon https://www.patreon.com/CFZ OTT on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/OnTheTrack/ Jon on Twitter @cfzjon CFZ Blog Network https://forteanzoology.blogspot.co.uk/ CFZ Publications http://cfzresources.com/publishing/ CFZtv https://www.youtube.com/user/cfztv CFZ Next Generation Initiative https://www.facebook.com/groups/29796...

...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.
