Did I grab your attention? <big grin> For today’s My Own Way, I listened to the February Katy Kafe with Nick. I took about two pages of notes, and then sat down to do a podcast about the whole thing just to share with all of you! Once again, I want to remind you all… Continue reading Album News and More!!

Sticks and Picks
Sticks Okay, so if you got me into a dark corner of a bar and supplied me with a vodka tonic or two, I’d probably admit that the one memorabilia item I don’t have but would really LOVE, is just one of Roger’s drumsticks. Whoops. Turns out I don’t need a vodka tonic at all… Continue reading Sticks and Picks
I Wanna Take You Higher Again
Last but not least, we are finishing up our review of the Thank You album by listening to “I Wanna Take You Higher Again”.

Don’t let anyone take your bliss away
Housekeeping notes first! I’ve made a decision, and that is to really concentrate on doing this “column” of mine as a podcast each week. I like engaging that way, and it kind of gives my fingers a break from typing (although the editing is another story altogether). You have several options on how to receive… Continue reading Don’t let anyone take your bliss away
In Review: Drive By
“Drive By” is the only song written by Duran Duran that is included on Thank You, released in 1995. Essentially, “Drive By” is an alternate version of “The Chauffeur”. The music is virtually the same, although in this song, there is spoken word by Simon Le Bon. Other sources describe the song as an introduction… Continue reading In Review: Drive By

A day late…
So, yesterday was the day I was supposed to have a My Own Way posting. Instead, I was working on another project, something additional we are trying to do for our Daily Duranie audience. Some of you love reading our blogs. Others find that it’s difficult to sit down and spend a few minutes reading… Continue reading A day late…
I love my pins!
Who loved Duran Duran so much that they “wore” them to school each day in the form of pins—whether attached to a denim jacket, black trench coat, button-down “preppy” pinstriped shirt, backpack, or even kept attached to a ribbon at home—when I was in seventh grade, they were all the rage. Like many kids, I… Continue reading I love my pins!
In Review: Thank You
For this commercially pushed week of romance, we turn our attention to “Thank You”, the song originally released by Led Zeppelin in 1969. Written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, the song was written for Maureen, Robert Plant’s wife (at the time). Duran Duran’s version of “Thank You” was one of the first to be… Continue reading In Review: Thank You
