Ever since I was a kid, I have been drawn to songs’ lyrics. If a song contained lines that described something that I connected to deeply, it was much more likely to be an important song for me. When a song could articulate something about me or something I was going through, it becomes a… Continue reading If All We Are Is Memory
Ibiza Fun in the Sun
By now, I’m sure most everyone has either gotten an email, seen the tweets and posts, or has heard about the DD weekend in Ibiza through word of mouth. If not – well, SURPRISE! There’s a Duran Duran weekend in Ibiza coming up at the end of April in 2022! Basically, and I mean this… Continue reading Ibiza Fun in the Sun
Film Noir and Lingerie
This week for Video Vanguards, we’re talking about The Chauffeur. Let me be upfront about this – it isn’t a video I typically choose to watch. I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone when I say it is right up there with Girls on Film. While I understand the art to the video, it… Continue reading Film Noir and Lingerie

How Far Will You Go?
Here’s a topic for you – how far are you willing to go to make sure Duran Duran stays on the charts? Let me back up a bit. Back in May, album pre-sales were announced for Future Past. We all bought what we wanted, and as each new single arrived, I’m sure there were additional… Continue reading How Far Will You Go?
Guest Blog: Medium Memories
It’s great to observe the fan joy surrounding Future Past. Wisely, Duran chose to release this album in multiple formats. Producer Erol Alkan posted his green vinyl edition. I posted my regret at NOT purchasing the vinyl version as I don’t own a record player anymore. The red, green, and white vinyl versions look amazing.… Continue reading Guest Blog: Medium Memories

Interview Interaction: Life’s a Beach with Simon
I’m going to start out this blog post with a confession. I think I suck at being able to keep up with fandom and have thought that for quite awhile. Years ago, when I first noticed it, I blamed it on teaching. After all, who can check in with the world while they are in… Continue reading Interview Interaction: Life’s a Beach with Simon
Kiss Goodbye
Kiss Goodbye is a 41 second stand-alone prelude to Last Day on Earth, and it features Nick on Keyboards. When we say we review an album, we review the whole thing, including the 41 seconds of Kiss Goodbye, so let’s get into it! Audio Rhonda The thing is, these little interludes are synonymous with Duran… Continue reading Kiss Goodbye

Happy Halloween!! I don’t know about the rest of you, but I struggle to believe tomorrow is November 1st. Where did the year go? The holidays are rapidly approaching, my grocery store doesn’t have a single turkey…and I have a feeling I’m going to have to get very creative about gift buying! With that in… Continue reading This week in DD history: October 31-November 6, 2021
