good morning Liz! | |

![]() Greetings Glenn and all others too sleepy to chime in yet! Welcome to another Monday, excited to bring you an interview with Giorgio Moroder today... coming up at 10:30am! |

Chris from DC:
Yes...sleepy... |
![]() |
![]() Still jet-lag sleepy from Barcelona? |
![]() |
![]() Digging the Peals, Heya Liz! |
![]() |
![]() Thankfully, no jet lag remains! Good to see you guys here! |
![]() |
![]() hi Liz...can't quite open the eyes yet... |
![]() |
![]() Hi all. I'm too sleepy to chime in, so 1111111111 bbbbb |
![]() |
![]() I dreamed of a giant dinosaur-shaped blimp that was being piloted by a small family not unlike a sea-vessel. I could see inside there were tiled floors, living room, etc... It was incredible! |
![]() |
![]() B23 here |
![]() |
![]() @Jeezy, I guess it really is true that the children chose the family vehicle. |
![]() |
![]() this Airs track is exactly what my brains is able to handle this morning |
![]() |
![]() All basses should sound like that |
![]() |
![]() Donnie & Joe Emerson, who originally recorded this song: 1.bp.blogspot.com... |
![]() |
![]() G'Morning...Are we up yet? |
![]() |
![]() All your basses are belong to me. |
![]() |
Mon. 6/10/13 9:46am
pat.dc:
punching in.. |
![]() |
![]() @KFBR, we are definitely not up yet. |
![]() |
![]() I am working in a building today where the water is off and no one was informed that it would be. The answer to the obvious next question is "it'll be back on when it's back on". So Liz, no fair playing any tracks with the sound of running water or talking about waterfalls and tall glasses of lemonade for a while. M'ok? |
![]() |
![]() Whoa, B23, sounds like they should just shut the building down and send everyone home until the water is back! Will try to avoid H2O references if I can help it! |
![]() |
![]() I feel like I am on a Carnival Cruise. |

Delight itself is pouring from my speakers right now... | |
![]() |
![]() Maybe Art Bell could take over "My Castle of Quiet" timeslot... |
![]() |
![]() Working in a place with no water is not so pleasant. |

common:
i had this 7" when i was a kid. i remember kissing a girl named kelly while we were listening to it. | |
![]() |
![]() I remember hearing the Midnight Express tune when I was in college. At the time, it seemed like the coolest thing ever. |
Mon. 6/10/13 10:06am
xezzy:
Isn't still? Can't wait for interview now, I wish I didn't know though, I'd be screaming with joy if it would surprise me. | |
Mon. 6/10/13 10:08am
common:
and i saw the movie when i was a kid. still don't know why that happened. | |
![]() |
![]() Still have never seen midnight express but my late teens early 20s self loved this song because of art bell. |
![]() |
![]() Common - It happened because some American jackass tried to smuggle dope out of Turkey. Or are you talking about seeing the movie as a kid? |
![]() |
![]() @xezzy, please don't use words like "pouring" for the time being, ok? |
![]() |
Mon. 6/10/13 10:19am
pat.dc:
holy shit Liz. I was just about to request Richard Dawson. I stayed up till midnight listening to him last night. hanx. |
![]() |
![]() The big fat fuzzy bass synth is making all of my suffering worth it! Thanks Liz! |
![]() |
![]() cool interview, liz! |
![]() |
![]() That was great! |
Mon. 6/10/13 10:49am

Yeah! | |

![]() Gummy Moroder! Great Job Liz! |
![]() |
Mon. 6/10/13 10:51am
pat.dc:
oh yeah, I guess he did write mahnamahna. Genius. |
![]() |
Mon. 6/10/13 10:51am
G:
He shoulda also covered Winchester Cathedral. or did he? lol |
![]() |
![]() Where are the Greasy Kid Stuff folks at for this? |
![]() |
![]() Good morning Liz and acolytes. |
![]() |
![]() Thanks everyone, what a treat to get to meet one of my favorite musical heroes! |
![]() |
Mon. 6/10/13 10:54am
pat.dc:
...or he just recorded it? I dunno what I talk aboot. |
![]() |
![]() Thanks for bringing that to us, Liz. He looks like such a nice guy in that picture. Not at all what I had expected. |
![]() |
![]() Yeah, it ("Mahna Mahna") was written by Piero Umiliani. |
![]() |
![]() Wow, I've never heard this side of Moroder. This is awesome! ! |
![]() |
Mon. 6/10/13 10:55am
G:
@ME: what did you expect him to look like? curious! :p |
![]() |
![]() "Son Of My Father" alone qualifies Giorgio Moroder for a lifetime achievement award, as far as I'm concerned. Everything else is just gravy. |
![]() |
![]() i watched bbc documentaries on krautrock and british synthpop over the weekend to prepare. glad to have a big burst of moroder music today to follow it up! |
![]() |
![]() Giorgio was the first of many to cover "Mahna Mahna" (1968). I agree about "Son of My Father" being one of the best songs ever written, efd! |
![]() |
![]() The instrumental version of "Son Of My Father" on one of those Schlagermoroder discs (listed as "part 2) is also pretty awesome. |
![]() |
![]() @G - I dunno...I think I expected him to be more pretentious. Perhaps just a stereotype I have about synth people. He looks very humble in that picture. agree about Son of My Father. |
![]() |
![]() There was a great 2-part BBC radio documentary about Giorgio Moroder recently, but now I see the beeb won't let you listen to it anymore. Boo. |

brandon:
fuck yeah, Liz! i love gorgio, even though he loves lady gaga and rihanna... i was born in 1980, and something about the music from around that time 78ish to 82ish... speaks to my soul! thank you! | |
Mon. 6/10/13 11:16am
brandon:
like putting out fire with gaso-leeene! | |

English spelling is embedded in your habituation? :p |
Mon. 6/10/13 11:23am
brandon:
i just saw american gigalo... funky music! | |
![]() |
![]() yeeeeees! "call me"! |
Mon. 6/10/13 11:24am
brandon:
there's one "palm springs ride" or "night drive" or something, haha, giorgio didn't hold back on that one... | |
Mon. 6/10/13 11:26am
blee:
It's my American ignorance. | |
![]() |
![]() Seems like Giorgio's soundtrack work has obviously influenced recent soundtracks. For instance, Drive and Spring Breakers. Pretty cool to me. |
![]() |
![]() "machines" has its "scarface"-y bits here and there. not a bad thing by any means. |
Mon. 6/10/13 11:28am
brandon:
nas and mobb deep used this beat! | |
![]() |
![]() ah, and there's the "scarface" track i was thinking of. well done liz! |
![]() |
![]() Wow, I had a terrible reaction when I watched the Moroder soundtracked Metropolis 15 years ago. I wanted to call the cops it bugged me so much. I may have to give it another try. |

![]() always wondered how much the opening credits music to this film drew from "the cold song," but i don't know if nomi's version was out by that point. |
![]() |
![]() here we go........ |

good run on the synth-pop tunes | |

Arpeggiate baby, arpeggiate! | |
![]() |
![]() Liz Bergio!!!! |
![]() |
![]() I definitely didn't want to ask Giorgio any questions about his work with Donna Summer because EVERY interview with him seems to focus solely on that aspect of his career. However, it WAS a crowning moment in music history and a great song, so I can't resist playin' the hit! |
Mon. 6/10/13 11:38am
Sammy:
Some songs never get old. Thanks Liz! | |
![]() |
![]() excellent call on both counts. from what i've read and heard about this cut's release, it was like e= mc2 for a lot of folks in dance and electronic music at the time. |

I Feel Love still sounds great. And I had extended version of Chase on 12" which I wore out. Sorry I missed him at Cielo. Did you get any feedback about that gig, Liz? |
![]() |
![]() hah, completely spaced on this album when i mentioned e=mc2 in my comment! i meant "i feel love" up there of course. :D |
![]() |
![]() Didn't make it to Giorgio's DJ gig, but heard great things! Sounded like a sweaty fun dance party! Hope he returns soon! |
