Author: Daily Duranie
Once upon a time, there were two Duran Duran fans. One named Amanda, the other named Rhonda. Over many vodka tonics, they would laugh about the idea of one day writing a book about their fan experiences. While that manuscript is still being composed...Rhonda thought they should write a blog. (What was she THINKING?!) Lo and behold: The Daily Duranie was born.
When John and Renée Spent Christmas in Aarhus, Denmark
By Heidi I have met Duran Duran so many times. At least in my head. The thing is I’m torn between wanting to meet them and being afraid I would be disappointed if I did meet them. Just a few minutes of saying hi and getting an autograph seems like too little and the same… Continue reading When John and Renée Spent Christmas in Aarhus, Denmark

February 2022 Fan of the Month
Here is our February Fan of the Month! Here’s Vixie! When did you become a fan? I became a casual fan in the 80’s. Was more of a Wham! Fan back in the day. Started following the band more seriously in 1989 and has been ongoing since then. Why did you become a fan? I… Continue reading February 2022 Fan of the Month
The Vicious Cycle
By Nat Duran Duran just announced three September Hollywood Bowl shows. Some of us thought theband should commemorate their fortieth anniversary with a special event. Several band membersexpressed their thoughts on the matter. Then, Duran released the Anniversary video which feltcelebratory of their lengthy relationship. Perhaps these shows could suffice as a quasi-anniversary show or… Continue reading The Vicious Cycle
Give It All Up Review
I don’t know that I have completely figured out what exactly I think about this song, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Clearly, the star or of the focus of the song, in my opinion, is the vocals. First of all, it feels like Simon is sitting on top of the instrumentation, that they… Continue reading Give It All Up Review
Hall of Fame?
By Nat My part of the world is experiencing 15 inches of snowfall today. This storm triggered a “work from home” day and 45 minute intervals of shoveling. After round 1 of shoveling copious amounts of snow, I discovered that Duran has the opportunity to enter the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. My first… Continue reading Hall of Fame?
Invisible Review: Like Medazzaland
By Heidi After weeks of anticipation, Invisible arrived in our midst in times of lock down and not much happening. I was working from home and needed a break – or perhaps I just took a break the moment Invisible was released. At first, I was mildly puzzled thinking ‘What?’, then ‘Hmmm…’ then ‘this reminds… Continue reading Invisible Review: Like Medazzaland

All of You Review: Unique for Duran Duran
By Heidi The song opens playful enough with the bass, but quickly falters to have a repetitive bland synth in the foreground. I often have the feeling that Duran Duran clutter the sound with too many indistinct instruments. That does not happen with All of You. The instrumentation suits the clarity of the lyrics in… Continue reading All of You Review: Unique for Duran Duran
