Once again, it is time to look back through the previous weeks and see just how everything shook out. Next Album – who or what should be on the cover? For this poll, we made you the art directors. The budget was low, and the choices were tough. Who should be on the cover –… Continue reading November 2020 Survey/Poll Wrap-Up!
Memorabilia Medley: DD socks!
I have to tell you all, the memorabilia posts like this one are not my favorite. Aside from music and a few shirts (okay, a bunch of shirts), I don’t have a ton of DD stuff. Each time I need to write a blog on this topic, I struggle to think of something fun to… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: DD socks!
In Review: White Lines
Today, we begin our sojourn into Thank You, the album of covers that Duran Duran released in 1995. As it directly followed The Wedding Album—a career-reviving hit by any standards—some have argued that perhaps doing an album of covers was a serious wrong-turn down a one-way road. The album itself reached 12 on the UK… Continue reading In Review: White Lines

Random Fandom: If it weren’t for Duran Duran
Last week, I saw this meme making it’s way around Facebook. In full-disclosure, I didn’t create it – and I am happy to give credit to whomever did. I just have no idea who started it, other than the RTN2Hs watermark. The fact is, I very much identify with the meme. Most of the people… Continue reading Random Fandom: If it weren’t for Duran Duran
Vodka Friday: December Fan of the Month
This week’s Vodka Friday is beyond tardy! We don’t have a good reason for it. We just suck, sometimes. That said, in order to make up for the lateness, we have a couple of treats for you. The first treat is that we get to celebrate our December Fan-of-the-Month! Who is the lucky fan?! Yes,… Continue reading Vodka Friday: December Fan of the Month
Survey: What’s on your wish list?
Each year, Amanda and I compile some sort of a “Duran Duran” wish list. We pretend of course that we’re writing to Santa as one of us composes the post, and honestly it serves as both apology for whatever we’ve done that year and hope for whatever the band has coming down the pipes for… Continue reading Survey: What’s on your wish list?
Memorabilia Medley: Black Friday Sale?
Last week, Duran Duran’s official store held a Black Friday sale. Fans who participated got 20% off their purchases. On top of the sale, they advertised some new products, including face masks and multiples new designs, including one with a gold crest designed by the fabulous Patty Palazzo. If all of this was not enough,… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Black Friday Sale?
In Review: Sin of the City
Today, we tackle Sin of the City, the final track on The Wedding Album. Produced by Duran Duran along with John Jones, the song serves as a sort of tribute to the Happy Land fire that killed 87 people in an “unlicensed social club” in New York City. The fire was started by Julio Gonzalez,… Continue reading In Review: Sin of the City
