Since today is a national holiday here in the US, we are not going to do a poll today. We would just like to take the opportunity to wish you and yours the happiest day imaginable. This year has certainly been different, and naturally we have no choice but to join the chorus of voices… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!

Anything we would have once called a blog post goes here.
Rest in Peace, Krissie.
I am one of those people who work through hard times with words. This morning, I read that one of the women I first met on duranduranfans.com passed away from cancer. Some of you may have known her as Shadoefyre on the various Duran Duran message boards. Krissie Richardson was a force within the fan… Continue reading Rest in Peace, Krissie.
Political or Not?
About a week ago, DDHQ posted a picture of John Taylor where he proudly displayed his “I Voted” sticker along with the #votelikeyourlifedependsonit. As you all can imagine, social media exploded with reaction to both the photo and to the hashtag, as many took his mask wearing and hashtag to be indicative of which presidential… Continue reading Political or Not?
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. As you probably suspected, we had some things to say about this announcement, this… Continue reading Touch the Sunrise Reaction
For the 5,586th post…
No matter how you slice it, ten years is a lot. I can remember the very day I wrote the first blog. I was nervous, but also very-aware of how lost it would likely become in what I call the “washing-machine” of the web. Who would even see it? Likely no one. Even so, I… Continue reading For the 5,586th post…
How did I dream you?
Although I am supposed to be on top of household duties today, I couldn’t let the day go by without expressing a little something. I don’t know why today is the day for sentiment from me, but here we are, and this is happening. So, here’s the thing: I live on the west coast, as… Continue reading How did I dream you?
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?
Point of View – How do you listen to music?
I’ve been listening to a lot of new music lately. To do so, I use Spotify and, of course, Whooosh! Streaming serves a great purpose. We have access to a never-ending library of music, and it doesn’t take up any physical space beyond whatever device we’re listening on. It is convenient especially when I’m working… Continue reading Point of View – How do you listen to music?
Welcome!
After two weeks of loading new themes (think templates) and finding that none of them really did what we needed, and starting to really sweat about getting this site up and running…here it is. Granted, it is not perfect, nor finished, but it is getting there. The rest can be done over time. A couple… Continue reading Welcome!
If We Can Stay Awake
I have been sitting on my couch for awhile now trying to get some idea, any idea about what to write about. This is not common for me. Usually over the course of the week, I come up with many ideas, but not this one. I blame my lack of sleep. The sleep deprivation I… Continue reading If We Can Stay Awake
