![]() 'Let's Shake, Baby'* by Zoe & The Stormies is an English-language cover of France Gall's 'Laisse tomber les filles'. ![]() The entire CD is worth getting your hands on, but I was particularly excited by a surprising find in the form of the very last track. 4 in a Gyro's Wildworld series (Vols 1, 2 and 3 featured 60s garage from around the world, Japan and Italy respectively). Instead, it's packed with 29 fun, melodic, upbeat tracks from the 60s Greek garage scene. ![]() This is definitely not a CD to judge by its cover: the artwork alone, with a polite-looking combo hovering in the sky over a generic picture of the Acropolis, would make me fear I'm in for something supremely dodgy, akin to what I'd find in my parents' vast collection of 70s Greek "easy"-listening records. Recently, I picked up an excellent CD compilation called Greek Beat Greats, released by Gyro Records. For now at least, it's time for my blog to cease to be the virtual equivalent of a home strewn with tattered decorations and a sad Christmas tree wilting away months after 'twas the season. Once again, I've found myself on an unintended hiatus from blogging, and I'm hoping to get back to posting regularly. I'm sure if Emily Post had foreseen to write etiquette guidelines for music bloggers, having a Christmas post as one's latest entry as we begin, *gulp*, May would be considered a dreadful faux pas.
