So
here we finally are. The first Foggy Notion of this academic year is in your hands- and, God, this was not an easy one. To be true, it was the hardest so far and as I am typing I am still far from calling it a day. There have been major shifts in the editorial team of Foggy Notion with many of our writers graduating/going on placements and even the co-editor wandering off to the United States. Essentially this issue has been put together by only three people and I would like to thank both, Dan Nightingale and Simon Boyd, lots for everything they have done to make this happen. Without them- trust me- there wouldn’t have been another issue of Foggy Notion. Also special thanks to Bryony Lloyd who did an AMAZING job with this month’s cover and to the guitarist of my favourite present-day band, Hatcham Social, for deciding to write a regular column for us. Read ‘Notes of the Underground’ on page 13!
Over the summer we have have been busy, too. We went to gig and festivals (namely Roskilde, Offset and Reading) and we talked to a lot more artists than we could feature in this issue. Nevertheless we picked the most outstanding artists of all those and compiled them on the following thirteen pages for you. Let us know whether our recommendations please your taste on foggy_notion_magazine@hotmail.co.uk So write us. We like emails. And we like you (well most of you). And we like music (good music that is). Thanks for reading! Enjoy November! Johanna
