Before They Were Stars: Giorgio Moroder

When you think of Giorgio Moroder, you automatically think of kickass '70s and '80s electronic disco-synthpop. Most notably, his collaborations with Donna Summer.


Not '60s surf-bubblegum pop. But you gotta start somewhere and this 1969 single, "Looky Looky" was Giorgio Moroder's first big break in the music business (as "Georgio"). While largely ignored in America, the song went gold in Europe and Canada.

"Two For The Price of One" Larry Williams & Johnny 'Guitar' Watson (1967)

A SUPER slice of scorching '60s funk!

"Let Me Take You Dancing" Bryan Adams (1979)

 

A lot of people don't know that Bryan Adams first hit was a disco tune....

I once thought I finally heard every godawful song the human imagination could create. This time however, I have found something so bad, I actually barfed for five minutes. I couldn't even make it past the first minute. I slammed down several anti-depressant pills. Just so I can type this.

Please don't take this lightly. You're reading this from a man who once had to write a review for the entire six CD Yoko Ono box set Onobox. I can take a lot. That was hell. But the entire Onobox was actually quite refreshing compared to this two and a half minute record. This one record nearly pushed me over the edge.

This record does not belong in any collection. It belongs in a sealed EPA drum and buried forever in a lead covered concrete box at Hanford, WA.

Our latest As Seen On TV miracle is "Pocket Hose", "The Hose That Grows"

Bad advertising name and slogan. Even worse pick-up lines.


Only problem is the ends are plastic and they crack and leak, the lei-like outer covering tears easy. And they can pop from heavy water pressure.
