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

We Twist and Shout
I have to say, this “forcing myself to sit down and watch the videos” project is going really well. First of all, I really AM sitting down and watching each video I write about, which right there, is a miracle. I’m sure some of you are wondering why – and I’ll get to that in… Continue reading We Twist and Shout
Video Vanguards
Yes, today is Memorabilia Medley day. That’s Amanda’s topic, and good on her for doing it on the Tuesdays she writes. In the meantime, ’m trying to find my own way here (ha), and I have decided to tackle a subject we’ve rarely written at length about: MUSIC VIDEOS. My thoughts are simple: let’s talk… Continue reading Video Vanguards
The Week in DD History: February 28 to March 6
It is starting to feel a little like spring around my neck of the woods. We have finally gotten above freezing and the big piles of snow are finally melting. This tells me that March is here! I know many are looking forward to warmer temperatures and more sun. Does this beginning of seasonal change… Continue reading The Week in DD History: February 28 to March 6
Vodka Friday: The Video Commentary That Wasn’t…
A few weeks ago, you all might remember that we shared a Vodka Friday video with all of you in which we watched the video for My Own Way and gave commentary. Oh wait…we didn’t quite do that. No, we could only share the “after video” commentary, which was a big bummer. We had to… Continue reading Vodka Friday: The Video Commentary That Wasn’t…
Vodka Friday: We Talk My Own Way
For this Vodka Friday, we thought we would do something a smidge different. Instead of just talking about a random subject, we decided to be a bit more focused on Duran. So this time, we watched the video for My Own Way and gave our opinion about it. Do we love it? Do we hate… Continue reading Vodka Friday: We Talk My Own Way
If I Listen Close
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Duran Duran is answering calls from the fans to do more online video parties! Today – yes, this very afternoon/evening – Duran Duran is hosting another video party. This time on their Facebook page, we’ll have the opportunity to watch videos (no requests, please!) and chat amongst ourselves.… Continue reading If I Listen Close
Daily Duranie Zoom Meetup!
During a time when video meetings are quickly becoming the norm, Daily Duranie has jumped on board the train! As we brainstormed of ways to try and connect with other fans, even while concerts and tours are being cancelled. We thought about how we could incorporate videos and chat together in one single place. Previously,… Continue reading Daily Duranie Zoom Meetup!
One Billion Sets of Beautiful Eyeballs
Congrats to A-ha! During my daily scroll through Twitter, I noticed that the video for “Take On Me” by A-ha has reached the crazy milestone of one BILLION YouTube views. It is only the second video from the 1980s to have reached that pinnacle. More on that later… One billion views is a lot. If… Continue reading One Billion Sets of Beautiful Eyeballs
What Makes You Think of Summer?
Today is Thursday! As you read this, I’m off trying to enjoy the last few days of summer and forget that in a few days, I’m going to be standing in a long line of middle schoolers and their parents at registration. I’m not ready!! (Don’t tell my youngest!) Since it is in fact, the… Continue reading What Makes You Think of Summer?
