By Finlay I will begin by confessing that I am envious of many Duran Duran fans. Having been born in 1999, I came to appreciate the band long after what many consider to be their touring peak. I can only watch Sing Blue Silver on YouTube and imagine the electric atmosphere of tours in the… Continue reading My First Concert, 28 November 2015:
All of You Review
I enjoy doing these reviews as I almost always find myself thinking about a song in a new or different way and this one is no exception. When Future Past came out, I listened a lot to the album, mostly through my AirPods wandering around the house but not paying serious attention unless a song… Continue reading All of You Review

It kicks off with a combination of crashing sound of the drums and whispering voice. I wasn’t familiar with Graham Coxon at all but his… Continue reading Invisible Review: “A little realism is included”

This Is Where We Get Connected
The end of the year is always a time for reflection, isn’t it? At least, it feels that way to me. This year feels like one more in need of that than ever before. It was definitely a year of transition for me. I left a career of over two decades to start over (sort… Continue reading This Is Where We Get Connected
Kafe Gratitude
By Nat I still have a DDM membership. I always remember its renewal time because it’s around my birthday. Long, long ago, I must have gifted myself a subscription. When I renewed my subscription is when I last visited the site in depth. Several fans have expressed how s/he have let their subscriptions lapse. I… Continue reading Kafe Gratitude
