I doubt that I’m not the only one out there saying that this has been quite a week. Obviously, there has been a lot of news here in the States, much of which is simply concerning to exhausting. On top of that, my jobs (both paid and unpaid) are increasing in intensity, leaving me longing… Continue reading Random Fandom: Video Clips
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.
Vodka Friday: Paper Gods Tour Fall 2015 Memories
I’m am beyond glad that it is Friday! I’m not getting a day off as I’ll be working my second (unpaid) job but glad that I don’t have to try to convince 15 year olds that it is really okay to turn their video on during zoom class for at least a couple of days.… Continue reading Vodka Friday: Paper Gods Tour Fall 2015 Memories
September 2020 Poll Wrap-up!
It occurred to me that perhaps not everyone goes back to see who actually won a particular poll, and I thought it’d be fun to look back and see who or what reigned supreme each week! As of today, this is what the results look like! Remember when we asked who you might want as… Continue reading September 2020 Poll Wrap-up!
Memorabilia Medley: DD Pendant
Hey everyone, once again, I decided to try filming this segment, particularly since it’s easier to show the pendant rather than just photograph it. One correction I need to make, in the video I had said something about it happening in 2006, and it was actually 2005. Sorry about that! Hope you enjoy! -R
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
Random Fandom: Music & Lyrics
I saw this meme today… For whatever reason, it rang true. Up until recently, I was on a music stretch – I would listen to the music and not think too hard about what was being communicated. I let the music – the instrumentation alone – shape my thoughts and feelings. I have to admit… Continue reading Random Fandom: Music & Lyrics
Vodka Friday: Convention Memories
Did you know that there was a Duran Duran fans convention in September of 2004? Not only did both of us attend said convention in New Orleans but that is where we met. Think about that for a second. Had we not attended that particular event, there would be no Daily Duranie. (Maybe some of… Continue reading Vodka Friday: Convention Memories
In Review: Drowning Man
This week, we are going to dive deep into the waters of Drowning Man. Hmm. That sounds…not right. Regardless, you get the point. The fourth track on The Wedding Album was released as a single to clubs in America in 1993. The single also had 12” promo releases in the UK and Italy. The song… Continue reading In Review: Drowning Man
Poll: Favorite Pandemic DD Activity
Alright, Duranies. It is that time again. This week, I’m curious about how you’ve been spending your time since March. Assuming (of course) that you were able to tear yourself away from real life for an hour or two, what content did you enjoy most from Duran Duran? Next week, I’m going to take some… Continue reading Poll: Favorite Pandemic DD Activity
The Week in DD History: Sept 20-26, 2020
I’m a couple of days late getting this post out, my apologies! As we continue to write these each week, I am learning what works best so that the dates are easy to read. I’m trying something a little different this week, so let’s see if it makes it all any better! Since we are… Continue reading The Week in DD History: Sept 20-26, 2020
