Giorgio & Chris: Love’s in You, Love’s in Me (1978)

Never one of my favorites, but looked back upon fondly, especially Burning the Midnight Oil.

I get the totally unsubstantiated feeling that Giorgio was fucking Chris at the time and was hoping to make her the next Donna Summer. Unfortunately, Chris didn’t possess the vocal talent of Summer and this is why I think this was a one-off album…

Hang ‘Em On Their Own Petard

Grandpa Sundowner is on the pudding path and hast lost it: The return of the shark story! And it’s even less coherent now. Special guest star: the snake!

Jeebus, get him some soft food and a heavy blanket.

She Was Ignored. And Look What Happened.

Much like The Orange Russian Wig Stand, Thomas seems to think he’s untouchable. But karma has shown us time and again that no one is untouchable. As Ben said at dinner last night, “I’m really looking forward to watching his fall.”

“Another party I wasn’t invited to!”

(Yeah, I know this picture has been circulating for over a decade. Deal with it.)

I never understood what was going through the minds of Sony engineers when they released this one, especially since 3-1/2″ CDs were never a real, viable thing—even back in the day. I believe had one in my old collection (A Touch of DMP), and that was a free sampler that came with a regular CD I’d bought. You’re never going to pop this in your pocket or bag and play regular-sized CDs, but yet they are quite popular with collectors and go for a lot of money on the used market.
