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 YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN


Today is my 53rd Birthday, and I have all sorts of exciting plans, which mostly involve doing very little. My sleep patterns are completely banjaxed after the past few days, so it is 2:35 in the morning and I am up working late. That means I shall go to bed when I feel like it and get up stupidly late. Ha!



I am getting increasingly fond of the work of Thom the World Poet. Today he goes to the pyramids. What a diamond Giza!




Peter McAdam is a very funny chap, and from these reviews on Amazon it is becoming increasingly obvious that I am not the only person who thinks so.



This review of Captain Beefheart hails from Germany, and has been translated in such a gloriously surreal way that I could not resist posting it as is..



I am supposed to be an objective journalist, but when it comes to a band as good as this I lose my objectivity. Galahad are a bloody fantastic band, and I am very pleased to be part of their publicity team.



Jon Anderson is being ridiculously prolific at the moment. Here we have two stories about his upcoming South American tour, and his Brazilian World Cup Tribute record..





That's it for today. See ya soon...
