On today’s episode of My Own Way, I tear into the news of Touch The Sunrise in Ibiza being rescheduled until next year, along with all the great press surrounding Dom’s new album, “In My Bones” (out tomorrow!), and much much more!
June 2021 Katy Kafe with Nick
Someone has a birthday coming. Actually, it’s a few people….but for this week, we’re going with one: Nicholas. Today, in fact, is that very special day! So, happy birthday, Nick!! We are celebrating by listening and writing up the highlights to the recent Katy Kafe. As always, I begin with the disclaimer that these notes… Continue reading June 2021 Katy Kafe with Nick
Out of My Mind
This week, we are covering the 28th single by Duran Duran, “Out of My Mind”. This song is not only included on Medazzaland, but was also released as a single from the soundtrack to the film, The Saint. The song is known for being one of a trilogy of songs that Simon wrote in tribute… Continue reading Out of My Mind
DD History: June 6 to June 12
This week marks the end of my school year and what feels like the beginning of summer, especially since it is hot outside with no end of the heat in sight. It almost feels more like July than early June. Will Duran Duran’s history during the week of June 6th to the 12th be equally… Continue reading DD History: June 6 to June 12
Fandom Will Make You Do Crazy Things
Fandom. Sometimes it’s a blessing, other times, it’s probably a curse. This past weekend, I went to a concert with friends. As with the previous concert I attended, this was more of a “concert in the park” than an actual ticketed gig. There were lawn chairs, blankets, and well…many bottles of wine. This concert, featuring… Continue reading Fandom Will Make You Do Crazy Things
Flashback Friday: The Fan Show
The other day Rhonda wrote about the end of the school year, which reminded me of the end of the 2006-2007 school year. During that school year, I was working in a middle school, teaching 7th graders with disabilities, most of the disabilities being emotional and/or behavioral ones. I loved the people I was working… Continue reading Flashback Friday: The Fan Show
As the school year crawls to the finish line
It’s Thursday, although I am writing this at around 10:30am on Tuesday. I have some things going on, and so this week, I’m writing ahead! After a disastrous school year, Thursday marks the final “in-person” learning day for my youngest. They’ll end the school year with the one class most disliked on the schedule (at… Continue reading As the school year crawls to the finish line
Electric Barbarella
Did you know that “Electric Barbarella” is Duran Duran’s 29th single? It was the first official single from Medazzaland, and although some cite otherwise, it has been touted as the first song available for digital purchase and download from the internet. This move did not make Duran Duran any friends in the retail world. American… Continue reading Electric Barbarella
This week in DD history: May 30-June 5, 2021
If you were at my house this week, you’d hear a mixture of sighs of relief tumbling with anxious worry of report cards to come. It’s the final week of school, and I’ll be honest – it hasn’t been optimal. We need this summer break. *I* need this summer break, and we are all hoping… Continue reading This week in DD history: May 30-June 5, 2021
Random Fandom: Transferrable Skills
The other day I ran across an article that caught my attention. It was on the website entitled shityoushouldcareabout.com. This is not a website that I’m familiar with but when I saw some tweets referencing an article about fandom, I thought I should check it out. You can check it out yourself here. The basic… Continue reading Random Fandom: Transferrable Skills
