Author: Daily Duranie

Once upon a time, there were two Duran Duran fans. One named Amanda, the other named Rhonda. Over many vodka tonics, they would laugh about the idea of one day writing a book about their fan experiences. While that manuscript is still being composed...Rhonda thought they should write a blog. (What was she THINKING?!) Lo and behold: The Daily Duranie was born.

The One Thing I Can’t Buy

Every Tuesday, we challenge ourselves to write something about memorabilia. As I’ve lamented previously, I don’t have a large collection of Duran Duran “stuff”. Sure, I have music. I also have a few posters (that are not currently up), quite a few pictures that I’ve taken over the years (many of which are also not… Continue reading The One Thing I Can’t Buy

Silva Halo

We’re beginning our week with a few listens to “Silva Halo” off of Medazzaland. It was also released as a B-side track to “Out of My Mind”, from the soundtrack of The Saint. Audio Lyrics You shine Where others fade You dare To be so brave Don’t compromise No one can touch you Just believe… Continue reading Silva Halo

Future Past, or Recaptured Youth?

It’s Saturday, which means it’s time for another edition of Random Fandom! Originally, I was going to do a podcast on the following, but I think it might lend itself better to a blog. This week, I caught up with this month’s edition of Classic Pop. There is an article on Gary Kemp in there,… Continue reading Future Past, or Recaptured Youth?

Flashback Friday: John Taylor’s Socks

The other day I checked out a podcast posted by Duran Duran’s twitter entitled “For Your Ears Only” about film and television music. In this particular episode, John Taylor was featured as he described his favorites from the James Bond franchise. I found it a fun listen even though I cannot say I’m a huge… Continue reading Flashback Friday: John Taylor’s Socks

June 2021 Katy Kafe with John

I hear there’s yet another birthday coming up next week…this time it is John Taylor, and we begin the celebrations with some highlights from the Kafe!! As always, I admonish that while my note taking is pretty damn good, I didn’t write down everything the man said. If you want to hear the entire thing,… Continue reading June 2021 Katy Kafe with John

Who Do You Think You Are

Who Do You Think You are is track five on Medazzaland, and it was produced by Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo (TV Mania). The song is reportedly about John Taylor’s departure from the band during the recording of Medazzaland. Audio Lyrics I’m giving you the newsYour domination’s throughYou gave the best you gotNow I’m out… Continue reading Who Do You Think You Are

The Week in DD History: June 13 to June 19

Technically, this is the last week of Spring as Summer Solstice is on June 20th. For me, though, it feels like the first week of Summer as my school year officially ended. I’m slowly decompressing and moving into summer mode, which includes getting into some sort of routine. This is never easy and this year,… Continue reading The Week in DD History: June 13 to June 19

Memorabilia Medley: Interference

I could not let Nick Rhodes’s birthday week go by without doing something to acknowledge a bit of his artistic genius. I debated about which aspect of Nick’s career would best shed light on this. Obviously, I could have looked into his work in Duran Duran. Of course, I could have chosen one of his… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Interference
