We are already half of the way through this year, people!! It’s funny because last year, I was already counting down the days until 2020 would be over…and oddly, I sort of find myself in the same position this year. It’s been a rough one. We’re all still hoping for better days ahead. Take care… Continue reading The Week in DD History: June 27-July 3rd, 2021

The Week in DD History: September 27 to October 3
I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m struggling to wrap my head around the idea that we are at the end of September and into early October. A big part of me feels like each month lasts four years so I guess I will be glad to call September done. It brings… Continue reading The Week in DD History: September 27 to October 3
2019 Year End Kafe with Roger
Last week, I began my catch-up with all things Duran with listening and blogging about the year end Katy Kafe with John. These year end ones tend to include the band member’s top book, movie, TV show, Duran moment and more. I missed all of them during our break so I thought it would be… Continue reading 2019 Year End Kafe with Roger
May The Force Be with…Duran Duran?
Several years back, I found an article online that compared the first three Duran Duran albums to the original Star Wars trilogy. It was a brilliant comparison; unfortunately, I never bookmarked the article and have since been unable to track it down. (Note to readers: ping me on Twitter (@ckshortell) if you happen to find… Continue reading May The Force Be with…Duran Duran?

Giorgio Moroder in the Studio!
I’m officially excited. Granted, I was late in listening, but I took some time to check out Dean Delray’s podcast “Let There Be Talk” this morning. While I would LOVE to make a general commentary about the podcast in general, I’m going to save that for a later, yet-to-be-determined date. Instead, let’s talk about the… Continue reading Giorgio Moroder in the Studio!
September 2019 Katy Kafe with Roger
There are days, and then there are days. Today is the latter. I’ve spent my morning neck deep in the throes of webhosting madness, and now I am rewarded with a new Katy Kafe! Roger was still in LA for one more day before traveling home, and found time for a chat with Katy to… Continue reading September 2019 Katy Kafe with Roger
Just An Hour To Go
Now the day is over I think it has taken me a full 36 hours or so to completely reign in my thoughts on the show at the Kennedy Space Center. I don’t think Katy was wrong when she said the set and show would be “out of this world”. The band added “Anyone Out… Continue reading Just An Hour To Go
March 2019 Katy Kafe with Simon
I can be incredibly hard on this band, but those performances contained some of the moments my heart was craving most. I feel lucky to have been there.
John on Jonesy’s JukeBox
Did you know that John Taylor was recently on Jonesy’s Jukebox? This, of course, is the radio show hosted by former Sex Pistols’ guitarist, Steve Jones. If you know your Duran history, you also are familiar with the fact that Steve and John played in Neurotic Outsiders together in the 1990s, one of John’s side… Continue reading John on Jonesy’s JukeBox
