Lately, I have been back listening to Astronaut after several years. When I listen to songs like “Want You More” or even “Finest Hour” or maybe even “Astronaut” itself, I tend to think back on how much my thoughts on this band have changed since the release of the album. Back in 2004 when Astronaut… Continue reading This Band Was Perfect

Life of Chains
I have had a great time. No matter how long I’ve been writing Daily Duranie, and no matter how long I keep going, I will always be truly grateful for the blog, the people I’ve met, and just how much fun I’ve had along the way. This past weekend, I spent some time really thinking… Continue reading Life of Chains
Ibiza Fun in the Sun
By now, I’m sure most everyone has either gotten an email, seen the tweets and posts, or has heard about the DD weekend in Ibiza through word of mouth. If not – well, SURPRISE! There’s a Duran Duran weekend in Ibiza coming up at the end of April in 2022! Basically, and I mean this… Continue reading Ibiza Fun in the Sun
By the Fingernails
It’s My Own Way today. That is your cue to recognize that today’s blog is from my point of view, and it’s going to be kind of a lot! We’ve got a new album, fantastic new music, new merch, brand new theme, and even a new website with duranduran.com. I love where the band is… Continue reading By the Fingernails
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
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!
It is just music
What do you do if your favorite band puts out an album you don’t like? I feel like maybe this is a fair question that many of us have dealt with over the course of our lives. There are likely countless answers, some great, some fair, and others…well…we’ve seen some of the “others”, haven’t we?… Continue reading It is just music
We Twist and Shout
I have to say, this “forcing myself to sit down and watch the videos” project is going really well. First of all, I really AM sitting down and watching each video I write about, which right there, is a miracle. I’m sure some of you are wondering why – and I’ll get to that in… Continue reading We Twist and Shout
