Trying to do the Q Pt. 1

Alright, there is no better q-view than playlouder and my Krautfriends can rely on Plattentests.de, but, this may be a surprise to you, there is cool stuff in all sorts of corners of the world, even beyond t.A.t.u and Haiducii.

I just returned from Ελλάδα, a stylish country of people who sip their Ouzos and philoshophize, why Macedonia should be spelled either FYROM or Μακεδονία, but never Македонија. It's the stupidity, stupid, you may think, but still, they manage to churn out some reasonable music, as the sampler Athens Calling shows. So if you are tired of having Scissor Sisters on repeat, get this thing.

What? You are Greek and know Ms. Matronic and Film? Well, then purchase Helicopter Girl's Voodoo Chic, basically Steve Nicks after a Frischzellenkur and with Saint Etienne rather than Fleetwood Mac as support. Beats Stan Ridgeway in both Voodoo and chic.

Whooa. Is this a so 90s page for the so 80s Wall of Voodoo, or what?
