We are finally in 2021. Words cannot convey how thrilled everyone I know is to see 2020 go. Now that we are in 2021, we can feel good about celebrating Duran Duran history. While I suspect that January is a pretty quiet on Duran front, will that be the case? Let’s take a look. January… Continue reading The Week in DD History: January 3 – January 9
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.
Random Fandom: How about those radiators?
So, I am going to try my best not to post sad memes this year. Yes, we all miss concerts. I know this. You know this. WE…know this (I am beginning to sound like a Saturday Night Live skit (click here if you have no idea what I’m talking about). I’m just going to try… Continue reading Random Fandom: How about those radiators?
Vodka Friday: Our 2021 Fandom Resolutions
In case you have not figured it out by now but Rhonda and I are a little different. We like to march to the beat of our own drummer, so to speak. So, instead of doing “regular” or “usual” resolutions, we decided to put a little spin on the first-of-the-year tradition. If you read yesterday’s… Continue reading Vodka Friday: Our 2021 Fandom Resolutions
Survey: What is your fandom resolution?
2021 is nearly here. I’m looking forward to a better year, although admittedly, I’m concerned that at least for a while, it will be “more of the same, but worse”, at least for a bit. That said, I am eager to find the joy in each and every day, something I’ve been working on for… Continue reading Survey: What is your fandom resolution?
Memorabilia Medley: Astronaut VIP Bag
On Christmas Eve, I found myself packing an overnight bag as I planned to stay at my parents’ house for Christmas morning. (Before anyone worries, yes, we are in a bubble, a very, very, very tight bubble. It is so tight that the only people we see are each other. We don’t go into stores… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Astronaut VIP Bag
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
The Week in DD History: Dec 27 2020 – Jan 2 2021
The New Year is upon us. I trust that those reading are in good health and spirits, and that sooner rather than later, we will be rejoicing together. Along with the other hopes of safety, good health, and healing, let’s hope for pure, unadulterated joy for 2021, or as other people call them: CONCERTS. In… Continue reading The Week in DD History: Dec 27 2020 – Jan 2 2021
Random Fandom: Duran Duran Reaction Videos
The other day, a friend of ours pointed out that there are a number of Duran Duran reaction videos now on YouTube. I had no idea. I, of course, wonder why the explosion of these types of clips now. Part of me wonders if it has to do with the YouTube sensation of TwinsisthenewTrend. If… Continue reading Random Fandom: Duran Duran Reaction Videos
Your Choice – Choose a Christmas Song!
Nearly every year for as long as I can remember, the subject of Christmas songs has always come up at least once during the holiday season. What I really mean is, someone always asks “Why hasn’t the band ever done a Christmas song?” Granted, the retort is typically one like this, “They DID. They recorded… Continue reading Your Choice – Choose a Christmas Song!
