Eva Wiseman “Dazed & Confused: the gang are still as cool as ever” http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/nov/05/dazed-confused-gang-still-cool
雑誌Dazed & Confused*1が創刊20周年。
Dazed & Confusedという名は言うまでもなくZepの曲に由来するわけだが、その経緯について曰く、
Twenty years ago, aged 19, Hack*2 met Rankin Waddell in the canteen at the London College of Printing. They were frustrated and they were arrogant, and they stayed up all night putting together a colour magazine on a black and white computer. "But we needed a name – we knew what we wanted to say, but not how to say it," says Rankin as he storms down the stairs ahead of me."And then we went to our designer's flat on the Walworth Road, where he'd not slept for days listening to this Led Zeppelin song, Dazed and Confused, on loop, and it was this real lightbulb moment. That was us."
"This is not a magazine," the first issue yelled, smudgily. "This is not a conspiracy to force opinion into the subconscious of stylish young people. A synthetic leisure culture is developing – plastic people force fed on canned entertainment and designer food. Are you ready to be Dazed & Confused?"

Dazed & Confusedを初めて買ったのはトーリ・エイモスが表紙を飾って彼女へのインタヴューが掲載された号だったのだけど、1995年のことだったか1996年のことだったか、今思い出せない。
また、Dazed & Confusedは日本版も出ていたが、こちらの方を買ったことはなかった（また、あまり本屋でも見かけなかったように思う）。そして、何時の間にか休刊していた*4。
