I think the warmer weather is messing with me as I have a sudden urge to organize and clean out every room and closet in my house. Of course, it could just be the way I’m dealing seeking control over the insanity around me. Nonetheless, I am thinking about everything I have, including my Duran… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: The Singles Box Sets

Random Fandom: First Time in Years
Earlier this week, my niece asked me an interesting question. Is there a show or a movie you wish you could watch again for the first time? I could not answer this question easily. Part of me considered shows and movies that had an interesting or unexpected twist that I wished I could experience all… Continue reading Random Fandom: First Time in Years
A Friend (of mine) and Chicago’s Finest
Since we’re taking a short break from Vodka Fridays, I thought it might be fun to revisit happier times! So on Fridays, I’m going to share some short anecdotes from tours and times of past. This week, I’m going to share a story from the Astronaut tour. In March of 2005, I saw Duran Duran… Continue reading A Friend (of mine) and Chicago’s Finest
We Have to Live
Tuesday evening and yesterday were rough. I had gotten some pretty terrible news when I went to band rehearsal that, unfortunately, has been hard for me to work through. I’m hoping that doing a podcast about it helps. If nothing else, it serves as a good reminder that we are guaranteed not a single moment,… Continue reading We Have to Live
Venice Drowning
This week, we’re on to track 10 off of the Liberty album – Venice Drowning. A little trivia we found online about this song – it’s apparently only been played live once! Prior to the album’s release, it was played in 1989 at the Scandeborg Festival in Denmark. If you are reading this and saying,… Continue reading Venice Drowning

Can You Feel It?
It’s time for a gushy, starry-eyed, fan post. Back when we first began writing blogs for Daily Duranie, Amanda and I swore we would not fill our pages with syrupy love letters to a band that was likely not even reading. We wanted to be taken seriously, even if we didn’t always take ourselves that… Continue reading Can You Feel It?
Yes, It’s Friday
And yes…we should be having vodka right now. In fact, maybe we are! Okay, okay, reality is, there’s no Vodka Friday video this week. This is largely my fault, and not because I drank too much vodka (although, that certainly would be a much more interesting story and excuse). I am a bit on the… Continue reading Yes, It’s Friday
