Today is Thursday, which means it’s time for a My Own Way post! I don’t know about anyone else in Duranland, but I’m still exhausted from yesterday! I am way out of practice when it comes to video premieres, first single releases, apparently. I have never heard my phone as active as it was yesterday,… Continue reading Invisible, maybe…but also alive!

Before it all changed
I know everyone is obsessing over the new single, “Invisible” today. You should be. I certainly am! However, on Monday evening, it hit me that everything I thought I knew about Duran Duran was about to change. One more tiny piece in their puzzle was about to be added. The moment seemed, well, monumental in… Continue reading Before it all changed
We Heard There Was a Debut Having a 40th Anniversary….
It’s that time again for Vodka Friday! Sure, Rio might be 39 and without a single wrinkle, but the Duran Duran debut album is 40 years old this month. Let that sink in for a hot second. While we struggle to figure out where the time has gone, we also took time to celebrate with… Continue reading We Heard There Was a Debut Having a 40th Anniversary….
Duran Duran’s Rio (33 1/3 series)
I know I’m an appraiser. I took my classes, did well on my exams, and for all intents and purposes – I an appraise and assign value to anything from a rare Victorian “Mourning Pin” made out of human hair (yes, it’s really a thing) to a unique promo pressing of just about any song.… Continue reading Duran Duran’s Rio (33 1/3 series)
Random Fandom: First Time in Years
Earlier this week, my niece asked me an interesting question. Is there a show or a movie you wish you could watch again for the first time? I could not answer this question easily. Part of me considered shows and movies that had an interesting or unexpected twist that I wished I could experience all… Continue reading Random Fandom: First Time in Years
Can You Feel It?
It’s time for a gushy, starry-eyed, fan post. Back when we first began writing blogs for Daily Duranie, Amanda and I swore we would not fill our pages with syrupy love letters to a band that was likely not even reading. We wanted to be taken seriously, even if we didn’t always take ourselves that… Continue reading Can You Feel It?
Books From My Library!
You might have noticed that I took a bit of a break last week. It was spring break for my daughter – which meant no school. I spent some of my extra time doing some reading. As I looked over Amazon for some new books, a couple of titles caught my eye. Like any Duran… Continue reading Books From My Library!
One Live Performance
I was scrolling through Twitter this morning, and I came across a post that said, “Still amazed at the fact that just one live performance could change your life and how you live it forever.” It was tweeted by @ConcertWeirdos, and it made me stop and think. Is this true? I’ve seen a few shows… Continue reading One Live Performance
Fandom Is All in the Family
The other day my family got together to play games on Zoom. This isn’t anything really new as we have been routinely getting together to play games, chat, discuss movies, etc. since the pandemic began. Frankly, it is a new tradition that I hope continues long past any discussion about Covid-19. The invention of Zoom… Continue reading Fandom Is All in the Family
What in the Heck is a Real Fan?
Over the years I’ve written for Daily Duranie and researched fandom, there are two things I’ve seen in Duranland specifically: competition between fans to be “the Best”, and a constant policing of the community in order to establish, and maintain who should be “the Real Fans”. What in the heck is a real fan, anyway?… Continue reading What in the Heck is a Real Fan?
