We are listening to Pop Trash Movie this week, the sixth track off of Pop Trash. Like the other offerings on this album, the song is credited as being produced by TV Mania. The track was originally written for Blondie, who toured with Duran Duran in 1982. There is a mention of this work (although… Continue reading Pop Trash Movie

We Come Together
Expectations are future resentments. I am fairly certain that John Taylor did not coin that phrase, but I have to credit him anyway because I think the first place I read it was in his book, and if I’d read it before that, it certainly never stuck. It is a phrase that I’ve muttered to… Continue reading We Come Together
Fan of the Month Q&A with Shari B. Ellis

Ellis, creator of the video “Sh*t that Duran Duran Fans Say” is with us…and boy has she ever been working hard, but I’ll let her tell that story!

Night and Day United
Here is another take on last week’s shows! -R By Dee R. On Thursday August 19th 2021, my friend Jane and I met for the first time since Christmas 2019. As we stood on a busy street, saying our goodbyes after spending an afternoon catching up, we discussed what we would like to happen with Duran… Continue reading Night and Day United
Starting to Remember
On the playlist for this week is Starting to Remember, the fifth track off of Pop Trash. Written by none other than Mr. Nicholas Rhodes, the song is poignant, and what many would consider to be an exact opposite from our offering last week (Hallucinating Elvis). Also produced by TV Mania, the song is a… Continue reading Starting to Remember

Andy Taylor Comes Home!
By Dee Cooke While the Duran gig on Tuesday 14th September was more fabulous than I could ever have expected, I had a very good reason for being unable to stick around for the second night – I already had tickets for another exciting show! I made a quick train journey from Birmingham back home to… Continue reading Andy Taylor Comes Home!
The Perfect First Duran Duran Experience
By Dee Cooke This wasn’t meant to be my first ever Duran Duran gig… but I’m so glad that it was! I was originally meant to see Duran live for the first time in Dublin in June 2020, and then again a month later in Hyde Park. However, those shows were of course postponed to 2021,… Continue reading The Perfect First Duran Duran Experience
Dream Come True
This week, I had the pleasure of seeing pictures from friends who had traveled to Birmingham. What I enjoyed most was seeing places captured that reminded me of the trip I made to Duran Duran’s “birthplace” back in 2011. Going to Birmingham was a bucket list item for me in the same way some people… Continue reading Dream Come True
Feelings
It’s Thursday! I am growing to love this day of the week. While I try to bring a part of myself and my own love of this band into most any post – these are special. This space is where I am just me, and I share whatever I’m feeling that week. This week, I’ve… Continue reading Feelings
