Can you believe Rio is 39? I am struggling to reconcile that concept. I would swear I just turned 30…. It just doesn’t seem like that album has been a part of my life for that long. I still remember the very day I bought it. I can remember the excitement I had when I… Continue reading Her Name is Rio and She’s Having a Big Birthday!

Duran Duran’s Rio (33 1/3 series)
I know I’m an appraiser. I took my classes, did well on my exams, and for all intents and purposes – I an appraise and assign value to anything from a rare Victorian “Mourning Pin” made out of human hair (yes, it’s really a thing) to a unique promo pressing of just about any song.… Continue reading Duran Duran’s Rio (33 1/3 series)

Can You Feel It?
It’s time for a gushy, starry-eyed, fan post. Back when we first began writing blogs for Daily Duranie, Amanda and I swore we would not fill our pages with syrupy love letters to a band that was likely not even reading. We wanted to be taken seriously, even if we didn’t always take ourselves that… Continue reading Can You Feel It?

You might have noticed that I took a bit of a break last week. It was spring break for my daughter – which meant no school. I spent some of my extra time doing some reading. As I looked over Amazon for some new books, a couple of titles caught my eye. Like any Duran… Continue reading Books From My Library!
