Okay, so here’s the thing: I have never heard of a single Duran Duran album cover that every fan loved. Typically, someone complains because there’s not a picture of the band. Someone else manages to say that the colors are all wrong. Another fan laments that they didn’t really use artwork in the right way,… Continue reading Poll: Design the next album cover!
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.
Memorabilia Medley: Signed albums
I don’t know how common this is, but back in the 80s when I thought I was super busy with school and clarinet practice – yet still had considerable time for daydreaming, I thought about goals.

National Album Day!
The other day I told Rhonda that I had something in my calendar about a Duran Duran re-issue. I had no clue what it was and she did not remember anything either. Was this an example of a senior moment? After all, we are not getting any younger. Could be an example of a campaign… Continue reading National Album Day!
Vodka Friday: The Video Commentary That Wasn’t…
A few weeks ago, you all might remember that we shared a Vodka Friday video with all of you in which we watched the video for My Own Way and gave commentary. Oh wait…we didn’t quite do that. No, we could only share the “after video” commentary, which was a big bummer. We had to… Continue reading Vodka Friday: The Video Commentary That Wasn’t…
Touch the Sunrise Reaction
I am willing to bet that everyone in the Duran universe has heard about Duran Duran’s announcement earlier this week. They will be playing (theoretically) at a festival the last weekend in April in Ibiza. It is called Touch the Sunrise.

Over the weekend, Duran Duran decided to have a little fun with fans. The image below was posted on social media.
