# Counting with Giorgio Moroder
**[Giorgio Moroder][1]{: target="_blank"}'s considerable contributions
to disco and electronic dance music have long elevated him to the
eminent position of godfather of various resulting subgenres. With his
recent appearance on [Daft Punk][2]{: target="_blank"}'s disco roots
paean "Random Access Memories", he's gone beyond being merely a big name
amongst techno and house intelligentsia to being a household name. In
this piece from our recent Winter, 2013 issue of *Electronic Beats
Magazine*, we ask him to give us his digits.**
1 **memorable line in a film or song:**
"I love you like a love song, baby." -- Selena Gomez
**2** **decisions I regret: **
-- Not writing the score for the movie *Fame.*
-- Not having invested in Apple.
**3** **sets of people that should collaborate: **
-- Democrats and Republicans
-- Devil and Angels
-- Moroder and [Rihanna][3]{: target="_blank"}
**4** **things I haven't done yet: **
-- Bungee jump
-- Made a hole in one
-- Cocaine
-- LSD
**5** **things I used to believe: **
-- That Disco would never end... oops! It's called EDM now.
-- Santa Claus
-- Tooth Fairy
-- Easter Bunny
-- Storks are where babies come from.
**6 **{::}**hours ago...**
... I put together a new DJ set.
**7** **records everyone should own:**
1\. Pink Floyd -- *The Dark Side of the Moon*
2\. George Harrison -- *All Things *{::}*Must Pass *
3\. [Donna Summer][4]{: target="_blank"} -- *Live and More*
4\. Bob Dylan -- *Blonde on Blonde*
5\. The Beatles -- *Abbey Road*
6\. Michael Jackson -- *Thriller*
7\. Elvis Presley -- *Elvis Presley*
**{::}**After 8 p.m.... **
****... I finish my Italian crossword puzzle that I started in the
morning.
**My 9 lives...**
****... 8 too many.
**I wouldn't touch it with a 10**{::}**-foot** pole...
... COCAINE. ~
