The Gonzo Daily: Monday/Tuesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

Over the weekend we developed a problem with our monthly webTV show On the Track. Ever since Episode Two we have used a section of one of my favourite songs - Strangely Strange but Oddly Normal by Dr Strangely Strange - as the end music. Back in 2009, when we went to see Dr Strangely Strange play in London for the first time for a very long time I asked Tim Goulding if it was OK for us to do this, and he smiled and nodded cheerfully, saying yes as long as they were credited and it was a not for profit video. I agreed happily.

However, last week Louis and Olivia both told me that the video would not play on their mobiles, and I did a bit of investigation. The copyright for Dr SS is now - apparently- administered by UMG who are not pleased with us, and as a result YouTube put sanctions on the video as follows:

Ads might appear on your video.
Copyrighted content was found in your video.
The claimant is allowing their content to be used in your YouTube video. However, ads might appear on it.
VIEWING RESTRICTIONS
Unavailable on some devices

Now, I am perfectly aware that an ad hoc conversation after a gig between two hippies, one of whom - at least - was a little worse for wear, does not count as a legally binding agreement, so I am not going to even attempt to challenge the ruling. Instead I have uploaded a new version of the latest one with the fadeout music being 'When the Green Woods Scream' by Xtul.

You can can see it here:

And you can see the previous episode here:

The video quality is not quite as good as the original, but as it is intended for a very small screen I don't suppose it matters. The original versions remain up, for those of you watching on a computer. All future episodes will have entirely original music, so I don't expect there to be any more problems.

But now, here is the news:

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: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk
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 people's websites. Honest guv!
Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 58 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. 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 Archie and the Cats?
