Future Past, or Recaptured Youth?
It’s Saturday, which means it’s time for another edition of Random Fandom! Originally, I was going to do a podcast on the following, but I think it might lend itself better to a blog. This week, I caught up with this month’s edition of Classic Pop. There is an article on Gary Kemp in there,… Continue reading Future Past, or Recaptured Youth?
June 2021 Katy Kafe with John
I hear there’s yet another birthday coming up next week…this time it is John Taylor, and we begin the celebrations with some highlights from the Kafe!!

Fandom Will Make You Do Crazy Things
Fandom. Sometimes it’s a blessing, other times, it’s probably a curse. This past weekend, I went to a concert with friends. As with the previous concert I attended, this was more of a “concert in the park” than an actual ticketed gig. There were lawn chairs, blankets, and well…many bottles of wine. This concert, featuring… Continue reading Fandom Will Make You Do Crazy Things
Electric Barbarella
Did you know that “Electric Barbarella” is Duran Duran’s 29th single? It was the first official single from Medazzaland, and although some cite otherwise, it has been touted as the first song available for digital purchase and download from the internet. This move did not make Duran Duran any friends in the retail world. American… Continue reading Electric Barbarella
This week in DD history: May 30-June 5, 2021
If you were at my house this week, you’d hear a mixture of sighs of relief tumbling with anxious worry of report cards to come. It’s the final week of school, and I’ll be honest – it hasn’t been optimal. We need this summer break. *I* need this summer break, and we are all hoping… Continue reading This week in DD history: May 30-June 5, 2021
Glasgow 2011
Today, I’m writing about another favorite touring memory. This time, it is Glasgow, 2011. Actually, that’s not even completely true because we stayed in Edinburgh that night, but let’s just call it Glasgow out of ease. This is the final concert for Amanda and I before we fly back to America the following day. As… Continue reading Glasgow 2011
