| | Foggy was relaunched just recently. Still up to the usual standards. with a nice free "secretly Canadian" cd on the cover. Is being sold in tower and a few other venues, and apparently is on sale at some gigs as well | | | |

the problem with Foggy is its too, er, nice. Theres no bite to it at all, no sense that the writers actually have much of an opinion bar toeing a party line that "indie is good, major is bad". theres also some really badly written bits in the new issue (some of the reviews are cringey). At best, Foggy is a well designed fanzine rather than a magazine that has a real agenda about what its doing. Cluas (IMHO) is way, way better.
Oh - nearly forgot - was glancing thru a mag called Under The Radar the other day in easons. very good stuff altogether. anyone else seen it? | | | |

2. Is Damien Rice crap?
3. Are the Frames crap?
4. A very complicated discussion about the difference between supporting and promoting the artist on discussion forums
5. Decent blogs with mp3s on them.

| | I agree with your op. on Foggy Notions Pilchard. While it's beautifully presented and looks great it's only okay content wise. The articles seem to be straightforward bio-pic pieces with, as you say, no bite or critical bent. It's only a new mag on the block i suppose so it might evolve with time into something with a bit more teeth. | | | |
