WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

I'M THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN



Each Sunday if I have the time,
My notifications are done in rhyme,
if I could I'd do them for you in mime,
but that'd be ridiculous not sublime.

First up we have a DVD,
a film that meant a lot to me.
About Zappa and Beefheart and bands like those,
(and here's a clip from the GTOs)
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/05/from-straight-to-bizarre-bloody-amazing.html

And next up on the bloggy stage
we have more news'bout Mimi Page
she's so talented it makes you sick,
and she's guesting with a bloke called Kezwik
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/05/mimi-page-does-it-again.html

And now sit back with a cup of tea
for a talk on spirituality
by who? I wonder, can you guess?
Jon Anderson (him out of Yes)
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/05/jon-anderson-on-yes-and-spirituality.html

Now, I don't mean to make a fuss
but I love that album 'Orfeas'
a song story CD from Judge Smith
retelling an ancient Greek Myth
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/05/link-judge-smith-interview.html

And who is left? Goodness me. Cripes!
He can't half play the Uillean Pipes,
he writes music of great majesty
his name it is Troy Donockley
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/05/link-troy-donockley-review_06.html

So until next sunday I suppose
I'll just go back to writing prose
which is OK when its prose on prog
and we've had 10,000 hits on the Gonzo Blog
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/05/in-which-we-voluntarily-blow-our-own.html

See you tomorrow...
