Several years back, I found an article online that compared the first three Duran Duran albums to the original Star Wars trilogy. It was a brilliant comparison; unfortunately, I never bookmarked the article and have since been unable to track it down. (Note to readers: ping me on Twitter (@ckshortell) if you happen to find… Continue reading May The Force Be with…Duran Duran?

New Duran Math
By Bart Van Bemmel Math is the most universal language in the world. It’s all around us. It binds all living things together. Even Duran Duran uses math….

But what if who ever… Continue reading New Duran Math
The Perfection of the Paper Gods Track List
The other day we posted Jason’s blog about how the track list for Paper Gods is all wrong, in his opinion. As I read it, I found myself shaking my head.

There is something magical about hearing new music from a favorite band and, often,… Continue reading Three To Get Ready
Just An Hour To Go
Now the day is over I think it has taken me a full 36 hours or so to completely reign in my thoughts on the show at the Kennedy Space Center. I don’t think Katy was wrong when she said the set and show would be “out of this world”. The band added “Anyone Out… Continue reading Just An Hour To Go
