Poll: Design the next album cover!
Okay, so here’s the thing: I have never heard of a single Duran Duran album cover that every fan loved. Typically, someone complains because there’s not a picture of the band.

Memorabilia Medley: Signed albums
I don’t know how common this is, but back in the 80s when I thought I was super busy with school and clarinet practice – yet still had considerable time for daydreaming, I thought about goals.

Memorabilia Medley: DD Pendant
Hey everyone, once again, I decided to try filming this segment, particularly since it’s easier to show the pendant rather than just photograph it.
