When I started thinking about what to do with today’s blog post, I knew that I wanted it to be Future Past focused. After all, the album is too new to move on, in my opinion. But what to write about, specifically? I started thinking about the fact that this is Duran’s 15th album. What… Continue reading Future Past, Numbers, and Opinions
Voodoo, 2006
On this date in 2006, I went to the last festival I ever expect to attend. (Never say never, I suppose…but seriously…no freaking way I’m going to anymore of those if I can help it) It was Voodoo, in New Orleans. The show wasn’t bad, even though I did insist that Duran Duran play more… Continue reading Voodoo, 2006
Plastic Paradise
I feel as though the past week has been a whirlwind, and I’m not even in the band! Each day has a variety: things to watch, articles to read, new music, and chart news I couldn’t have even imagined. Like many of you have mentioned, it has been difficult to keep up – a very… Continue reading Plastic Paradise
Black, White & Red
Today, I treated myself to watching the video for “Careless Memories”. Directed by Perry Haines and Terry Jones, featuring Haines’ girlfriend as the damsel who seems to unable or unwilling to decide between John and Simon (a common problem among many, or so I’ve heard), I hadn’t sat down to watch the original video (as… Continue reading Black, White & Red
The Sun Doesn’t Shine Forever
On to the tenth track from Pop Trash, “The Sun Doesn’t Shine Forever”, a ballad, that might just want to be an uptempo tune in its next life. The man who is infamous for his lists as well as his musical genius, Nick Rhodes, has included this track on a list of “Never Played Live”… Continue reading The Sun Doesn’t Shine Forever
The Week in DD History: October 24-October 30, 2021
What a week last week was in Duranland! This morning I saw a friend’s post on Facebook about how much promotion Duran is doing for this new album and how she is struggling to keep up! I could not agree more. This is when I want to ask if I could just be a Duranie… Continue reading The Week in DD History: October 24-October 30, 2021
Are All Autographs Equal?
I meant to get this blog post done on Tuesday when it was my turn to blog. Unfortunately, work got a little insane, which meant that there was no spare time, especially with an evening meeting. Anyway, it probably fits better now as everyone is still basking in the glory of the new album. With… Continue reading Are All Autographs Equal?
Flash Back and Forward: Album Releases
Duran Duran’s Future Past was released today. Today. Part of me still cannot believe it. We have a new Duran album to listen to, to add to our collections, to hope to hear played live and more. It was a long time coming and, at times, felt like it was never going to get here.… Continue reading Flash Back and Forward: Album Releases
Encores Club Review of Future Past
Just a little before the album drops worldwide, Jason and I recorded our review of Future Past for The Encores Club. Rarely do we take an album track-by-track and review it, but today we felt that Duran Duran’s newest album was worthy of the time and effort, so we’re sharing it on Daily Duranie as… Continue reading Encores Club Review of Future Past
This is it!
This is it. The day before everything changes. Or maybe it has already changed? I’m not entirely sure. I am sitting here at my desk, contemplating exactly what I’m going to say when I meet with Jason in a couple of hours to review Future Past for The Encores Club. Honestly, in a lot of… Continue reading This is it!
