Earlier this week, my niece asked me an interesting question. Is there a show or a movie you wish you could watch again for the first time? I could not answer this question easily. Part of me considered shows and movies that had an interesting or unexpected twist that I wished I could experience all… Continue reading Random Fandom: First Time in Years

Can You Feel It?
It’s time for a gushy, starry-eyed, fan post. Back when we first began writing blogs for Daily Duranie, Amanda and I swore we would not fill our pages with syrupy love letters to a band that was likely not even reading. We wanted to be taken seriously, even if we didn’t always take ourselves that… Continue reading Can You Feel It?
The 10 Greatest Duran Duran Songs
I have not been around much in the last two weeks and have not been able to watch each and every move that Duran or DDHQ has made. I got my second vaccine shot and it hit me hard. Ten days later and I’m finally feeling like I’m coming back to life. (Please note: Get… Continue reading The 10 Greatest Duran Duran Songs
One Live Performance
I was scrolling through Twitter this morning, and I came across a post that said, “Still amazed at the fact that just one live performance could change your life and how you live it forever.” It was tweeted by @ConcertWeirdos, and it made me stop and think. Is this true? I’ve seen a few shows… Continue reading One Live Performance
Fandom Is All in the Family
The other day my family got together to play games on Zoom. This isn’t anything really new as we have been routinely getting together to play games, chat, discuss movies, etc. since the pandemic began. Frankly, it is a new tradition that I hope continues long past any discussion about Covid-19. The invention of Zoom… Continue reading Fandom Is All in the Family
In My Bones
So, today is the day that I’m supposed to write something random about fandom. I’m going to take that to mean I can pretty much write whatever I want…and since I’m a fan….it’s random anyway….!!! If you’re paying close attention, chances are that just the title of this very post itself will give it’s topic… Continue reading In My Bones
Leaving a Light On
Out of seemingly nowhere last week, I decided to listen to the entire discography of Duran Duran. Mind you, it has been months since I listened to any Duran Duran, outside of what I needed to do in order to write the reviews Amanda and I have been working on. For a while after the… Continue reading Leaving a Light On
Random Fandom: Presale Practice
I have bought a lot of concert tickets throughout my life. I remember my very first attempt to get tickets to a show. As a kid, I desperately wanted to go to concerts. Desperately. I begged and begged my mom with no luck. Her rule was simple. I was allowed to go when I was… Continue reading Random Fandom: Presale Practice
After nearly a year…
I have a question to ask my fellow Duranies out there. Lately, I’ve seen quite a few people (not necessarily Duranies) who have commented about things they hope to continue in the post-Covid days. Whether it’s mask wearing, the idea of social distancing (meaning keeping that 6 foot circle around you open), staying at home,… Continue reading After nearly a year…
The Joy of Song
I apologize that this blog post is so late. It was not my intention but I have to admit that I’m struggling. In fact, I might go so far to say that this is the most I have ever struggled, emotionally. I’m trying really hard to be “okay,” to keep it together, to keep moving… Continue reading The Joy of Song
