This past weekend, I went to my first concert since Covid began. It was everything I had hoped and wished for…and I even danced! I have to believe that this is only the beginning, and that this summer will bring the same joy I felt this weekend to many others across the globe. Let’s talk… Continue reading Music Lives!

Big Bang Generation
We are beginning this week with a Big Bang as we listen to the second track off of Medazzaland – Big Bang Generation. One of the only true dance tracks off of this album, Warren Cuccurullo stated that most of the finished album was derived from reworked TV Mania material written by himself and Nick… Continue reading Big Bang Generation
What is Red, Green, White, and Black all over?
Like many, I went online shopping last week. As it turns out, a certain band released a certain single named “Invisible”. If you’re already feeling lost, you need to turn around, go back and do your homework. Read last weeks blogs, watch a couple of videos, and get back to me. The forthcoming album, out… Continue reading What is Red, Green, White, and Black all over?
Ready for a little more “Invisible”?
It’s Friday! There’s vodka…and there’s the entire Daily Duranie team on a Zoom call! Hey, would you look at that, we CAN all be on the same screen at once! What could possibly go wrong??! Join us for another wildly entertaining afternoon of Rhonda attempting to drive the Vodka Friday train. Will they agree that… Continue reading Ready for a little more “Invisible”?
Invisible, maybe…but also alive!
Today is Thursday, which means it’s time for a My Own Way post! I don’t know about anyone else in Duranland, but I’m still exhausted from yesterday! I am way out of practice when it comes to video premieres, first single releases, apparently. I have never heard my phone as active as it was yesterday,… Continue reading Invisible, maybe…but also alive!
Are You Feeling Numb?
As promised, Amanda and I sat down to quickly assess our initial reactions to “Invisible”. The spoiler is simply that if we didn’t love the song…we wouldn’t have done a video. (LESSON LEARNED, THANK YOU!) At Amanda’s urging, I agreed to go ahead and do a little something, just because we were feeling so good… Continue reading Are You Feeling Numb?
Before it all changed
I know everyone is obsessing over the new single, “Invisible” today. You should be. I certainly am! However, on Monday evening, it hit me that everything I thought I knew about Duran Duran was about to change. One more tiny piece in their puzzle was about to be added. The moment seemed, well, monumental in… Continue reading Before it all changed

Medazzaland
Can you believe we are finally, blessedly, all the way up to the album Medazzaland? The ninth studio album, released in October of 1997, it also marks the first album without John Taylor (he left in January of the same year before the recording was finished). John’s work remains on three songs. This also heralds… Continue reading Medazzaland
We Heard There Was a Debut Having a 40th Anniversary….
It’s that time again for Vodka Friday! Sure, Rio might be 39 and without a single wrinkle, but the Duran Duran debut album is 40 years old this month. Let that sink in for a hot second. While we struggle to figure out where the time has gone, we also took time to celebrate with… Continue reading We Heard There Was a Debut Having a 40th Anniversary….
