This week, we’re listening to “Michael You’ve got a Lot to Answer For”, the 9th track off of Medazzaland. For many, this remains a difficult song to digest. The prophetic tune was released as a part of the Medazzaland album just a month before the death of Michael Hutchence in 1997. As the band began… Continue reading Michael You’ve Got a Lot to Answer For

Reveling at Ravinia 2016
Five years ago this week, I saw Duran Duran in Chicago. It was at Ravinia, which is a special venue for the Chicagoland area. The venue is part expansive park-like lawn with trees sprinkled throughout, and part outdoors (but covered) amphitheater, open during the summer for concerts and concert picnicking. While one may decide to… Continue reading Reveling at Ravinia 2016
Out of My Mind
This week, we are covering the 28th single by Duran Duran, “Out of My Mind”. This song is not only included on Medazzaland, but was also released as a single from the soundtrack to the film, The Saint. The song is known for being one of a trilogy of songs that Simon wrote in tribute… Continue reading Out of My Mind
This Week in DD History: April 11 to April 17, 2021
As I type this week’s Duran Duran history highlights, I am listening to the rain coming down. This week, in Wisconsin, we have had a lot of rain as the trees are starting to sprout leaves, the grass is turning green and flowers are popping up all over. Yes, Spring is definitely in the air,… Continue reading This Week in DD History: April 11 to April 17, 2021
My Antarctica
As a result of a jamming session in a barn in Sussex, “My Antarctica” was released in 1990 on the Liberty album. Simon is quoted as having said that the band was “rather self-conscious” at the time, given the way things had been going for the band from 1986-onward. Let’s get into it! Audio Lyrics… Continue reading My Antarctica
All Along the Water
So, something interesting happened when Daily Duranie took a look at our upcoming review schedule. We realized that along the way (as opposed to the water…which is something very different, indeed), we forgot to finish reviewing about half of the Liberty album. We suspect it was because once this site had been redone, we weren’t… Continue reading All Along the Water
Five Years, My Own Way
This is all me, and I’m doing it my way I don’t know about anyone else, but I felt the best about Daily Duranie when I didn’t worry about what I was writing. There was a time when Amanda and I would write with abandon. We put our thoughts out there, sometimes—well, actually often times—crossing… Continue reading Five Years, My Own Way
In Review: Watching the Detectives
This week, we are diving straight into “Watching the Detectives”, off of the Thank You Album. The original was recorded by Elvis Costello in 1977, and other artists have covered the song over the years as well. Costello’s version is included on the Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time at #354.… Continue reading In Review: Watching the Detectives
In Review: To Whom It May Concern
This week, we turn our attention towards “To Whom It May Concern”. Originally titled “Mr. Jones”, this song was reportedly written in response to manipulation the band experienced from their attorneys. As the story goes, the song had been completely finished (as “Mr. Jones”) for inclusion on the album, but once having learned of it,… Continue reading In Review: To Whom It May Concern
Memorabilia Medley: Astronaut T-shirt
I was brainstorming ideas for this week’s Memorabilia Medley, when a t-shirt design caught my eye online. It was the five petal design from the Astronaut tour, seen below: I don’t know what it is about this design that makes me smile, but it does. Part of it might be the five “petals”, coming together… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Astronaut T-shirt
