	9:15am Ike: Hi all. I'm too sleepy to chime in, so 1111111111 bbbbb
	9:22am Jeezy: 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!
	9:23am braveness23: B23 here
	9:24am Andrew Waterloo: @Jeezy, I guess it really is true that the children chose the family vehicle.
	9:38am braveness23: this Airs track is exactly what my brains is able to handle this morning
	9:38am braveness23: All basses should sound like that
	9:41am Liz Berg: Donnie & Joe Emerson, who originally recorded this song: 1.bp.blogspot.com...

	9:43am Cheri Pi: All your basses are belong to me.
	9:46am pat.dc: punching in..
	9:48am braveness23: @KFBR, we are definitely not up yet.
	9:50am braveness23: 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?
	9:51am Liz Berg: 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!
	9:52am braveness23: I feel like I am on a Carnival Cruise.
	10:04am xezzy: Delight itself is pouring from my speakers right now...
	10:04am Fuzzy: Maybe Art Bell could take over "My Castle of Quiet" timeslot...
	10:04am Andrew Waterloo: Working in a place with no water is not so pleasant.
	10:04am common: i had this 7" when i was a kid. i remember kissing a girl named kelly while we were listening to it.
	10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: I remember hearing the Midnight Express tune when I was in college. At the time, it seemed like the coolest thing ever.
	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.
	10:08am common: and i saw the movie when i was a kid. still don't know why that happened.
	10:10am Dan B From Upstate: Still have never seen midnight express but my late teens early 20s self loved this song because of art bell.
	10:11am tim from champaign: 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?
	10:19am braveness23: @xezzy, please don't use words like "pouring" for the time being, ok?
	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.
	10:24am braveness23: The big fat fuzzy bass synth is making all of my suffering worth it! Thanks Liz!
	10:48am listener james from westwood: cool interview, liz!
	10:48am efd: That was great!
	10:49am xezzy: Yeah!
	10:49am G: Ohio Fruitilicious :)
	10:50am KevinfromBayRidge: Gummy Moroder! Great Job Liz!
	10:51am pat.dc: oh yeah, I guess he did write mahnamahna. Genius.
	10:51am G: He shoulda also covered Winchester Cathedral. or did he? lol
	10:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Where are the Greasy Kid Stuff folks at for this?
	10:53am Carmichael: Good morning Liz and acolytes.
	10:53am Liz Berg: Thanks everyone, what a treat to get to meet one of my favorite musical heroes!
	10:54am pat.dc: ...or he just recorded it? I dunno what I talk aboot.
	10:54am Mike East: Thanks for bringing that to us, Liz. He looks like such a nice guy in that picture. Not at all what I had expected.
	10:55am efd: Yeah, it ("Mahna Mahna") was written by Piero Umiliani.
	10:55am tim from champaign: Wow, I've never heard this side of Moroder. This is awesome! !
	10:55am G: @ME: what did you expect him to look like? curious! :p
	10:55am efd: "Son Of My Father" alone qualifies Giorgio Moroder for a lifetime achievement award, as far as I'm concerned. Everything else is just gravy.
	10:56am listener james from westwood: 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!
	10:57am Liz Berg: 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!
	10:58am efd: The instrumental version of "Son Of My Father" on one of those Schlagermoroder discs (listed as "part 2) is also pretty awesome.
	10:59am Mike East: @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.
	10:59am Liz Berg: 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.
	11:00am G: and here we are on the road to (so to speak) the Coast to Coast AM theme
	11:06am 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!
	11:16am brandon: like putting out fire with gaso-leeene!
	11:16am blee: I can feel the MIDI pulsing through me. Thank you Liz
	11:17am brandon: thank you walter/wendy carlos
	11:17am blee: AND Georgio Morodor!!!
	11:20am Carmichael: Sparks!
	11:20am blee: Why can't I spell "Giorgio"
	11:21am G: English spelling is embedded in your habituation? :p
	11:23am brandon: i just saw american gigalo... funky music!
	11:23am listener james from westwood: yeeeeees! "call me"!
	11:24am brandon: there's one "palm springs ride" or "night drive" or something, haha, giorgio didn't hold back on that one...
	11:26am blee: It's my American ignorance.
	11:27am tim from champaign: Seems like Giorgio's soundtrack work has obviously influenced recent soundtracks. For instance, Drive and Spring Breakers. Pretty cool to me.
	11:28am listener james from westwood: "machines" has its "scarface"-y bits here and there. not a bad thing by any means.
	11:28am brandon: nas and mobb deep used this beat!
	11:28am listener james from westwood: ah, and there's the "scarface" track i was thinking of. well done liz!
	11:28am tim from champaign: 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.
	11:29am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Just tuning in and will have to time travel back for the Moroder madness.
	11:29am brandon: ....the...world...is...mine
	11:30am listener james from westwood: 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.
	11:32am SeanG: here we go........
	11:33am timurf: good run on the synth-pop tunes
	11:34am blee: Arpeggiate baby, arpeggiate!
	11:36am tim from champaign: Liz Bergio!!!!
	11:37am Liz Berg: 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!
	11:38am Sammy: Some songs never get old. Thanks Liz!
	11:40am listener james from westwood: 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.
	11:40am andymorphic: this really is the template for all edm
	11:50am Frenchy: play sum radiohead plox
	11:51am pcnyc: 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?
	11:55am listener james from westwood: hah, completely spaced on this album when i mentioned e=mc2 in my comment! i meant "i feel love" up there of course. :D
	11:56am Liz Berg: Didn't make it to Giorgio's DJ gig, but heard great things! Sounded like a sweaty fun dance party! Hope he returns soon!
	11:57am dvbinnj: that was one hell of a Moroder homage
	11:59am chris: Just tuning in, and wow! I can't wait to hear the archive from the beginning. What a way to start a week! Thanks, Liz
	12:01pm G: Today, Liz is the Moroder Marauder!
	12:01pm northguineahills: That was awesome, thanks!
	12:02pm pcnyc: Yup, def will be diving into the archive for this show today. Great playlist, Liz; thank you! ~:-)
