How many different versions of Astronaut do you own? I can’t even answer that myself – a lot of them are packed away, but I know I must have a few. I’ve got a couple of copies of the regular CD that I bought at midnight at Virgin Records in Hollywood. I also remember buying… Continue reading Limited Edition Double Vinyl of Astronaut released, 2004.

Sets You on a Path: The Reunion
Today is easily one of my favorite dates to celebrate. On August 29th of the year 2000, Simon and Nick visited John at his house in Los Angeles. What could they possibly have talked about? Getting the band back together!! The reunion they said would never happen…. That’s right. It all began with a chat… Continue reading Sets You on a Path: The Reunion
What’s Your Favorite Live Recording of a DD song?
DDHQ asked for our favorite live recording of a Duran Duran song this morning. At first, I stumbled over the words. It’s Monday, I’m already tired (not really a great sign for the week ahead) and I can’t seem to make much sense out of anything yet. Live songs? Do they record anything? Seriously –… Continue reading What’s Your Favorite Live Recording of a DD song?
Do you remember the website for Something You Should Know?
During the frenzy of 2005, something else was going on besides just Astronaut tour dates. Something You Should Know was coming our way. A director saw a story that needed to be told, and had spent time going around the country interviewing fans for a documentary named Something You Should Know. M. Douglas wanted to tell the story… Continue reading Do you remember the website for Something You Should Know?
Do you remember DD playing Jacksonville in 2005?
I find myself struggling to think of something to blog about on this fine Monday morning in February. The sun is out, it will warm up to the mid-70s here at my house in the OC today….and I can’t think of a single thing to write. Even the dates in history are failing me today.… Continue reading Do you remember DD playing Jacksonville in 2005?
Do You Remember? VH1 “The Set”
On this date in history, wayyyyy back in 2004 (which really doesn’t seem like it should be twelve years ago already, does it?) Duran Duran filmed a show for VH1 called “Bailey’s The Set”. As I fondly recall, this was a show that local fans could enter a lottery of sorts for tickets. The show was filmed at… Continue reading Do You Remember? VH1 “The Set”
Wristbands and Mother/Daughter Moments
It was twelve years ago today….or rather…last night…that I stood in a very long line with my oldest daughter, who was seven at the time. We were waiting to purchase our copies of Astronaut, and hoping to get wristbands for a meet and greet a few days later. If I remember correctly, I had taken my daughter… Continue reading Wristbands and Mother/Daughter Moments

Today in Duran History – Fashion Rocks
On today’s date in 2003, Duran Duran performed on Fashion Rocks. If your memory is fading (like mine…), here’s a little trip down memory lane for you: Part of my problem is that now that they’ve done Fashion Rocks a few times, I’d forgotten what songs go with what show. I’m sure some of you… Continue reading Today in Duran History – Fashion Rocks
