Old stuff, new stuff, anything that is collectible or memorable.
Are All Autographs Equal?
I meant to get this blog post done on Tuesday when it was my turn to blog. Unfortunately, work got a little insane, which meant that there was no spare time, especially with an evening meeting. Anyway, it probably fits better now as everyone is still basking in the glory of the new album. With… Continue reading Are All Autographs Equal?
Memorabilia Medley: Concert Ticket Stubs
I think I might be the only person who really loves her concert ticket stubs. I am not really sure on an emotional level why I love them so. Maybe, they work to trigger some emotion about good times I have had. I’m not sure. Anyway, over the years, I have managed to acquire two… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Concert Ticket Stubs
Austin City Limits and More DVDs?
I am beginning to think that I’m getting to be “old school” in how I choose to live my life. Just recently, I had a discussion with my family about how people buy and listen to their music. Some really still like to buy CDs while others stick strictly to streaming services. I feel like… Continue reading Austin City Limits and More DVDs?
Memorabilia Medley: What’s missing?
My niece’s birthday is coming up soon and I have been shopping for her. My family does “wish lists” and her list is a little lacking as she does not have many specifics. For example, my brother’s list always has about 50 books complete with title and author listed. My niece, on the other hand,… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: What’s missing?

Yet, this year also featured some new items, including some new merch, specifically focused on the upcoming release, Future Past. What… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Future Past Merch
What About Bootlegs?
Do you collect bootlegs? I’m pretty sure I don’t. If you read this last sentence, and are asking, “Pretty sure?”, read on. I saw Duran Duran at the House of Blues in Anaheim – the one that closed in Downtown Disney. I can remember how wide-eyed I was when the realization hit that Simon was… Continue reading What About Bootlegs?
Memorabilia Medley: Timeline Poster
I have not been able to do much celebrating this Duran Duran Appreciation Day. My sister and niece have been visiting. They were due to fly out yesterday but severe weather caused a lot of flights to be cancelled, causing their visit to be extended. As I type this, they are in the air on… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Timeline Poster
Please Please Tell Me Now
As many of our readers know by now, I’m an avid reader. There isn’t a single day that goes by that I’m not reading something, whether books on music (of which I am in the middle of several – my goal this year is to finish them!), or “for pleasure” books that I listen to… Continue reading Please Please Tell Me Now
Memorabilia Medley: More Magazines
Earlier this summer, a very kind Duranie asked me if I would be interested in some old magazines featuring Duran as he needed to make some space in his house. Uh…is the sky blue? Grass green? Of course, I would be interested! A couple of weeks later they arrived from Europe. In this package of… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: More Magazines
