Context Matters: Duran’s Recent Album Cycles
The other day, I started to think about how Future Past will be judged in a year, in 5 years, in 10 years, etc. Of course, you can ponder this question based solely on the music, lyrics, vocals, etc. You might be able to determine it by examining commercial success in terms of chart positions… Continue reading Context Matters: Duran’s Recent Album Cycles
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
Just Before Liftoff: Astronaut in 2004
This time of year always reminds me of two things: the Friends of Mine Convention in New Orleans, and the release of Astronaut in 2004. These two events took place just weeks apart from one another, and the whole fan community had a buzz of energy. Back in those days, I don’t think things were… Continue reading Just Before Liftoff: Astronaut in 2004
It is just music
What do you do if your favorite band puts out an album you don’t like? I feel like maybe this is a fair question that many of us have dealt with over the course of our lives. There are likely countless answers, some great, some fair, and others…well…we’ve seen some of the “others”, haven’t we?… Continue reading It is just music

It’s Thursday! I am growing to love this day of the week. While I try to bring a part of myself and my own love of this band into most any post – these are special. This space is where I am just me, and I share whatever I’m feeling that week. This week, I’ve… Continue reading Feelings
Las Vegas, 2019
It is difficult for me to believe that we are coming up on the 2nd anniversary of the last time I saw Duran Duran live, before the nightmare of COVID-19 hit. The actual dates are the 7th and 8th of September, 2019. Additionally, it is the anniversary of the last time I saw Amanda and… Continue reading Las Vegas, 2019
Random Fandom: Preferred Posts
In the last few weeks, I have been thinking a lot about fandom, what I like and what I don’t like. I have been around the Duran Duran fandom long enough now that I have participated in a bunch of different ways. Maybe, I’m finally to the point where I get what I want/like these… Continue reading Random Fandom: Preferred Posts
Random Fandom: What I Need
I have been a fan for a very long time. Heck, we have been doing this blog for a very long time. When I think about the fact that we are going to turn 11 in September, I almost cannot believe it. Then, I think about the fact that we started before All You Need… Continue reading Random Fandom: What I Need
