Before visiting England last week, I made several mental notes of Duran Duran historical sites to visit (ok, I made an entire Google map of places). I assumed Nick, and perhaps Simon, would be in town and I fancied I’d bump into them if I walked around enough. Turns out, London is a large city… Continue reading Boy Panic!

The Next Line: Should a band move on?
Duran Duran is my most favorite band. But there are other bands I also love and adore, and like more than a few Duranies out there – Spandau Ballet is on that list. Up until a few years ago, I’d never seen Spandau live. I’d always wanted to, but timing (I grew up just a… Continue reading The Next Line: Should a band move on?
Tales of Duranlore
Over the weekend, I heard a Duran Duran song I’d never heard before. Think about that. We’re in between albums, I think I’ve heard everything the band has recorded…so how is that possible? It turns out, the song I heard is one of Duran-lore, which means it’s a song that some people have long-held as… Continue reading Tales of Duranlore
Do you remember the Hyde Park Show?
Where were you on July 13, 2012? I can tell you where a lot of my UK friends were! They were in Hyde Park, London, watching Duran Duran perform for a special Olympics Opening Ceremony Concert (I really don’t know if that’s the official name but it’s what I’m going with today). I am sure… Continue reading Do you remember the Hyde Park Show?
Diamond Dust and Dom
Would you believe it if I told you that on this date in 2014, the Diamond Dust vinyl edition of Diamond in the Mind was released?? When this came up in my daily DD history, I was a little surprised. I can’t decide if I’m surprised it’s been three years, or that it’s ONLY been… Continue reading Diamond Dust and Dom
Newcastle show canceled, 2011. Do you remember??
On this date in 2011, some of the longest “waiting” of my life began. Duran Duran was to play the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle that evening, and was the first show to be canceled during the All You Need is Now tour. Here’s the original announcement from DDHQ: (from duranduran.com) Singer Simon Le Bon has… Continue reading Newcastle show canceled, 2011. Do you remember??
Duran Duran performed for One Night Only back in 2011 – do you remember?
I have this really cute desk calendar that Amanda created for me. She took the same dates in history that we use for the blog, found photos for them, and then put them together. Each day, I enjoy looking at what special event happened in Duran history, and often times it gives me something to… Continue reading Duran Duran performed for One Night Only back in 2011 – do you remember?
Have you been to the British Music Experience?
On this date in 2009, the British Music Experience opened at the O2 in London. Amanda and I have actually been to the British Music Experience! We visited the O2 when in London back in May of 2011 and went into the exhibit. Somehow, I think we felt that if we at least went to… Continue reading Have you been to the British Music Experience?
Duran Duran History – Earl’s Court
Duran Duran History on this final Monday before Christmas brings us to London, of all places. On this date in 2005, Duran Duran merrily played a show at Earl’s Court in London. I KNOW some of our readers were there, so share your memories in between shopping, baking, wrapping or whatever else you’re doing today.… Continue reading Duran Duran History – Earl’s Court
