So, yesterday was the day I was supposed to have a My Own Way posting. Instead, I was working on another project, something additional we are trying to do for our Daily Duranie audience. Some of you love reading our blogs. Others find that it’s difficult to sit down and spend a few minutes reading… Continue reading A day late…
I love my pins!
Who loved Duran Duran so much that they “wore” them to school each day in the form of pins—whether attached to a denim jacket, black trench coat, button-down “preppy” pinstriped shirt, backpack, or even kept attached to a ribbon at home—when I was in seventh grade, they were all the rage. Like many kids, I… Continue reading I love my pins!
In Review: Thank You
For this commercially pushed week of romance, we turn our attention to “Thank You”, the song originally released by Led Zeppelin in 1969. Written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, the song was written for Maureen, Robert Plant’s wife (at the time). Duran Duran’s version of “Thank You” was one of the first to be… Continue reading In Review: Thank You
Guest Blog: The Superbowl Shuffle
By Nat Mingo As a music and American football fan, I was tickled by the varied responses to the 2021 Halftime Show. In the States, we crown the “winner” of the football season with a final game which features a live mini-concert dubbed “The Halftime Show”. The Weeknd was this year’s featured artist. His fans… Continue reading Guest Blog: The Superbowl Shuffle

On that note, we give much love to everyone who reads this blog, checks in with us on social media, has attended one of our meetups and, of course, the band that firmly holds a special place in our hearts. Let’s see if this week in Duran… Continue reading The Week in DD History: February 14 to February 20
I Hold Music in my Heart
If you take the time to read this blog every day – and I know there are some of you out there that really do just that – my guess is that you love music. Sure, maybe some of you love Duran Duran and this fandom so much that you read, but my best guess… Continue reading I Hold Music in my Heart
Vodka Friday: Duran Concert Ticket Doormat Choice
A few weeks ago or so, I posted a “Memorabilia Medley” about concert ticket doormats. Basically, online sites offer people a chance to get a doormat made from a picture of a concert ticket. I thought this sounded like a pretty cool idea. Of course, I would want to use a Duran Duran concert ticket.… Continue reading Vodka Friday: Duran Concert Ticket Doormat Choice
The Big Three
My list of bands/artists that I count among my favorites is probably pretty lengthy. Sometimes my husband and I sit on our back patio after a long weekend day of digging holes (I have another weekend of that coming) for apple trees and fence posts and listen to Sonos Radio (yep, it actually IS a… Continue reading The Big Three
Memorabilia Medley: Rolling Stone Magazine 1984
Like clockwork, it seems to me that every February someone, somewhere, somehow shares something about that famous Rolling Stone magazine. You know the one. It was first published this month almost 40 years ago in 1984. This prompted me to go ahead and take out my copy to read it all over again. I feel… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Rolling Stone Magazine 1984
In Review: Ball of Confusion
We are still trekking through Thank You, and this week we land on “Ball of Confusion”. Let’s dig right in! “Ball of Confusion (That’s What the World is Today)” was originally released by The Temptations in 1970. Since then, it has been covered by dozens of bands and artists, including Anthrax, Love and Rockets, Tina… Continue reading In Review: Ball of Confusion
