Kiss Goodbye is a 41 second stand-alone prelude to Last Day on Earth, and it features Nick on Keyboards. When we say we review an album, we review the whole thing, including the 41 seconds of Kiss Goodbye, so let’s get into it!

This week in DD history: October 31-November 6, 2021
Happy Halloween!! I don’t know about the rest of you, but I struggle to believe tomorrow is November 1st. Where did the year go? The holidays are rapidly approaching, my grocery store doesn’t have a single turkey…and I have a feeling I’m going to have to get very creative about gift buying! With that in… Continue reading This week in DD history: October 31-November 6, 2021
Voodoo, 2006
On this date in 2006, I went to the last festival I ever expect to attend. (Never say never, I suppose…but seriously…no freaking way I’m going to anymore of those if I can help it) It was Voodoo, in New Orleans. The show wasn’t bad, even though I did insist that Duran Duran play more… Continue reading Voodoo, 2006
Plastic Paradise
I feel as though the past week has been a whirlwind, and I’m not even in the band! Each day has a variety: things to watch, articles to read, new music, and chart news I couldn’t have even imagined. Like many of you have mentioned, it has been difficult to keep up – a very… Continue reading Plastic Paradise
Black, White & Red
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
The Sun Doesn’t Shine Forever
On to the tenth track from Pop Trash, “The Sun Doesn’t Shine Forever”, a ballad, that might just want to be an uptempo tune in its next life. The man who is infamous for his lists as well as his musical genius, Nick Rhodes, has included this track on a list of “Never Played Live”… Continue reading The Sun Doesn’t Shine Forever
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
This is it!
This is it. The day before everything changes. Or maybe it has already changed? I’m not entirely sure. I am sitting here at my desk, contemplating exactly what I’m going to say when I meet with Jason in a couple of hours to review Future Past for The Encores Club. Honestly, in a lot of… Continue reading This is it!
Lady Xanax
On to the ninth track on Pop Trash, “Lady Xanax”. Nick wrote this song, and according to Katy on dd.com, “it is actually about someone he knows who represents spiraling into despair and unable to find any sense of purpose in her life”. The song is a ballad, some characterizing the song as having a… Continue reading Lady Xanax
This Week in DD History: October 17-23, 2021
Why is October flying by so quickly this year?!? It feels like I just barely turned the calendar from September! Perhaps it is due to the band performing this month. Maybe it is because we’ve been waiting SO LONG for #DD15 that time has taken pity on us…it’s not very long now before the released… Continue reading This Week in DD History: October 17-23, 2021
