30th of December, 2015. We’ve got about a day and a half left in this year, give or take depending upon where you are in the world. Speaking for myself, I’m happy to see this one end. I have friends who look at New Years with some sort of wide-eyed optimism for possibilities, and I’m… Continue reading A few of my best moments of 2015

The Challenge of New Music
Last week, my posts centered around summarizing the year-end Katy Kafe’s with each of the band members. During the Kafe with John, time was spent discussing the reception of Paper Gods, both by the universe-at-hand (as it was categorized as Pop on iTunes) and by fans (in the discussion of how the band knows who they are… Continue reading The Challenge of New Music
Dear Santa – 2015 edition!
Not sure exactly when this started, but Amanda and I like to do our own “Dear Santa” letter each year on Christmas Eve. 2015 is certainly no exception, particularly since we’ve got a tour coming next year!!! Since Amanda is on vacation this week, I had her send me her list, I compiled it with… Continue reading Dear Santa – 2015 edition!
2015 Year End Katy Kafe with Nick Rhodes!
Today I bring you another 2015 year-end Katy Kafe with Nick Rhodes, his being the final one this year. With tomorrow being Christmas Eve, my day has been spent baking and cooking (if you know anything about me, you know these rank among my least favorite activities) and so the blog is very late today.… Continue reading 2015 Year End Katy Kafe with Nick Rhodes!
2015 Year End Katy Kafe with John Taylor
Tuesday brings a 2015 year-end Katy Kafe with John Taylor – this time in video! Let me properly set the stage: John is sitting at his computer in a cozy sort of room with white paneling. There is an upright piano (complete with obligatory metronome) sitting against the wall to the back right of him,… Continue reading 2015 Year End Katy Kafe with John Taylor
Year End 2015 Katy Kafe with Simon Le Bon!
There are some Kafes that you know right away are going to go well because everyone is in the right mood…and there are the ones when Simon is clearly tired and not really into having it right way. Guess which category this one fit into??? As always, I listened carefully, tried to take notes (while… Continue reading Year End 2015 Katy Kafe with Simon Le Bon!
Year End Katy Kafe with Roger Taylor
Yesterday, at work, I logged into DuranDuranMusic to hear the first of the year end Katy Kafes. This one featured our favorite drummer, Mr. Roger Taylor! Just like Rhonda when she blogs about a “Kafe”, I was armed with pen and paper in order to take notes. That said, I’ll be giving my thoughts about… Continue reading Year End Katy Kafe with Roger Taylor
Got Me Trapped
It’s time for another confessional, Daily Duranie-style! Today was the last day of learning center for my kids before a much deserved winter break. Two weeks of not having to get up before it’s light outside, two glorious weeks of not dealing with traffic, having to listen to talk-radio (it’s all that my son will… Continue reading Got Me Trapped
I Am a Signal Somewhere in Your Bliss
I have a confession to make. It’s likely to get me into trouble in some circles (when am I not in trouble with someone out there??), but I’m going to share anyway. I haven’t listened to Paper Gods since the beginning of November. In my defense, I have a seven-year old. I know that doesn’t… Continue reading I Am a Signal Somewhere in Your Bliss
The Ticketmaster Debacle
I’ve been trying to sort out yesterday in my head. Let me just put it out there: I’m still trying to figure out what shows we bought tickets for and where we’re sitting. This isn’t because we’re doing that many shows, it’s because in hindsight – it all feels like a blur. Or maybe it’s… Continue reading The Ticketmaster Debacle
