Normally, I don’t blog on Mondays, other than write my portion of the review for the upcoming week, and whatever other posts I want to compose ahead of time. Today, however, I’m making an exception because today marks another year for Daily Duranie. On this day eleven years ago, I wrote and published the first… Continue reading Eleven

Anything we would have once called a blog post goes here.
Duran Duran’s Turning Points
Historians, including history teachers, talk about turning points. These are moments that historians argue change the course of history. In some cases, maybe they lead to horrible results like a war or, perhaps, they stop something terrible from occurring. Why do I mention all of this is a blog about being a fan of a… Continue reading Duran Duran’s Turning Points
Behind the Music: The Remaster of the Remaster
This past week was a pretty intense one for me. One of the ways that I got through it was knowing that I had a big reward at the end. Not only did I go see and have lunch with my niece today but I finished the day with the watching the remastered edition of… Continue reading Behind the Music: The Remaster of the Remaster
Guardian Article Reactions
For a long time, I struggled to figure out what to write about because not much was happening in Duranland. This week has been the exact opposite. It feels like a LOT has been happening. Am I the only one thinking that or is it simply because it has been so quiet that it is… Continue reading Guardian Article Reactions
Are You Feeling Numb?
As promised, Amanda and I sat down to quickly assess our initial reactions to “Invisible”. The spoiler is simply that if we didn’t love the song…we wouldn’t have done a video. (LESSON LEARNED, THANK YOU!) At Amanda’s urging, I agreed to go ahead and do a little something, just because we were feeling so good… Continue reading Are You Feeling Numb?
Quiet One Brings Excitement
It has been quite a week in Duranland, hasn’t it? I cannot remember a week like this in such a long time. First, there was a tweet announcing there would be an announcement. Then, the announcement itself was posted. Finally, another tweet appeared on Friday prompting more wonder and speculation. Since then, the Duran parts… Continue reading Quiet One Brings Excitement
Ten Years???
If you have been paying attention to Duran Duran’s social media at all lately, you have seen posts/tweets about the “Countdown” to the ten year anniversary of the band’s All You Need Is Now album. Some of the posts have been video clips that were released then, merchandise that was sold to mark the occasion,… Continue reading Ten Years???
Point of View: Change the Skyline
I think it is fairly safe to say that there are some bands and artists who have one sound, one style that they use over and over again. Fans and critics alike can depend on them to fit that mold with each and every song and with each and every album. The first band that… Continue reading Point of View: Change the Skyline
Point of View – 1/4/21
Today, I wanted to address a specific question that a few people asked me in regard to something I’d said on the Vodka Friday video from last week. Since this is something emotional, I felt that it might be better addressed over a video than through my writing, and I hope it explains my feelings… Continue reading Point of View – 1/4/21
So Red the Rose Turns 35
Yes, you read that correctly. Arcadia’s album, So Red the Rose, was released 35 years ago. While logically that makes sense, my brain struggles to really comprehend that. I remember getting the vinyl and staring for what felt like forever at the cover since it felt like is contained a special code that I needed… Continue reading So Red the Rose Turns 35
