A few weeks back, I was listening to Whooosh! (If you are unaware, you should run, not walk, directly to Spotify and look up “Whooosh!”, and give it a good listen!) On that particular program, Simon and Katy were explaining that if for some reason you didn’t want to hear them chat in between songs,… Continue reading Poll: How do you listen to Whooosh!?
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: Remembering the Southeast Tour of 2012
From here on out, our Vodka Friday posts will publish on FRIDAYS…but we had a little trouble last week getting things to work properly…so without further delay…it’s now Vodka Wednesday. Why not? 😀 -R The end of summer always sends me into a panic of what needs to be done for school and how daunting… Continue reading Vodka Friday: Remembering the Southeast Tour of 2012
Anyone up for a party?
I hate to break it to anyone who has read Daily Duranie from the very beginning…but we’re nearly ten years old now. That means you’ve been reading for a decade. Even scarier? We’ve been writing for at least that long. By all means, this requires a party, and we are having one! On Sunday, September… Continue reading Anyone up for a party?
In Review: Ordinary World
This week, we are going to focus on Ordinary World. The song was the lead single off of The Wedding Album, released in December of 1992 in the US, and a month later in the UK. It climbed to #1 on the Billboard Top 40 charts, reigniting the band’s popularity. The song was originally leaked… Continue reading In Review: Ordinary World
Funny or Insulting?
Not too long ago, I rediscovered an image that I had saved years ago. Obviously, at the time, it hit me enough that I saved it but I did not do anything with it. I guess I was not sure what to do with it until now. How many of you have seen this: When… Continue reading Funny or Insulting?
The Week in DD History: September 6-12, 2020
It is Rhonda, back again with you for another fun filled post of historic moments in Duran Duran history! I can’t believe it is already September….and then again, I can’t believe it is still 2020. This year feels like it’s been 45 months long already. Let’s get on with it, shall we? Do you have… Continue reading The Week in DD History: September 6-12, 2020
Best Basslines
This morning, a friend of ours, shared a link to an article in an online website, MusicRadar. I’m not familiar with this particular site, but it is described as “No. 1 website for musicians.” Interesting. I’ll come back to that in a bit. This particular article, which you can read for yourself here, focused on… Continue reading Best Basslines
Vodka Friday: Thoughts on DD Appreciation Day and #DD15!
I’m a lot behind on posting our Vodka Friday videos! I promise that I have a plan to get caught up. Nonetheless, here is one for all of you to enjoy. Well, enjoy might be the wrong word but you get what I’m saying here! For this particular Vodka Friday, we go back to talk… Continue reading Vodka Friday: Thoughts on DD Appreciation Day and #DD15!
Memorabilia Medley: THE Puzzle
Some of you might remember that I wrote a blog post earlier in the summer discussing the updated items in the band’s webshop. I am a big fan of Duran stuff, merch, whether it is a t-shirt, coffee mug, keychain or whatever. Thus, I cheered the heck out of new additions. I figured that once… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: THE Puzzle
In Review: Too Much Information
Hey everybody! The reviews are back! Instead of trying to figure out where we left off (Somewhere on Liberty, we believe)…we decided to forge ahead. We’re trying something new, too. Instead of our lengthier reviews of the past, we are hoping to stick to something a little punchier and short. Something you can maybe read… Continue reading In Review: Too Much Information
