Since this blog began twelve years ago, I have documented many moments. Lots of those have been Duran focused like the release of a new album or video. Some of them have been historical like an election or a tragic event. A few of them have been personal. This blog is going to be one… Continue reading The Silence Waiting to Fall

I Give Thanks
I am happy to report that I am, indeed, alive. A blog post is long overdue. I know. Part of me (a big part of me) wants to apologize but I’m fighting that. There are no requirements about when to post or how often to post or even what to chat about. Speaking of topics,… Continue reading I Give Thanks
Change Is Coming Down the Line
It has been awhile since I sat down to write a blog. It isn’t for lack of having something to say but lack of time. I’ll also be honest it has also because my Duran fandom has moved down in my priority list. This isn’t because my love for the band has lessened or because… Continue reading Change Is Coming Down the Line
This Band Was Perfect
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

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
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
Why Some and Not Others?
The baseball season ended this week. Now, I know that there are four teams still involved in the playoffs but, for me, for my family, it ended once our beloved Chicago White Sox was eliminated. The playoffs were a big deal for my family as everything from clothing choices to daily schedules to unplanned but… Continue reading Why Some and Not Others?
Just Before Liftoff: Astronaut in 2004
This time of year always reminds me of two things: the Friends of Mine Convention in New Orleans, and the release of Astronaut in 2004. These two events took place just weeks apart from one another, and the whole fan community had a buzz of energy. Back in those days, I don’t think things were… Continue reading Just Before Liftoff: Astronaut in 2004
