So here it is, our final video blog of the 2016 Paper Gods tour. If we had to sum up the tour in a single sentence (or title), we’d say that touring is not a sprint, it is a marathon! We tried to cover and condense all of our thoughts into a single video. At… Continue reading Touring is not a sprint, it is a marathon!

Loving the Alien Lives On
I woke up this morning feeling like I’d been run over. I couldn’t figure it out because I went to bed at a reasonable time and slept very well – which is unlike me. Usually I wake up several times, but not last night. I hurried to get dressed, because I was also late…and rushed… Continue reading Loving the Alien Lives On

Simon talks Hunger Games and Charli XCX with Lori Majewski
If you haven’t caught the Yahoo! music news article written by none other than Mad World author and fellow Duran Duran fan Lori Majewski – you really should.
Personally, I’m looking forward to getting the song. It’s the first time in recent years that I am going to brag to my oldest that she likes an artist (Charli XCX) that collaborated with someone from MY main musical interest. Oh yes, I plan to buy that song and play it non-stop. I’m looking forward to hearing what Simon describes as dark lyrically and the nursery-rhyme melody. Sounds like a perfect fit for me!
The soundtrack is out on November 17th…just a mere 13 days away now. New music, here we come!

(It starts with Girls on Film at about the 2:31:00 mark) For the first half, Robert spoke with Nick as they were having… Continue reading Inside this gilded cage
