I think we can all agree it’s been pretty quiet recently. I can appreciate friends who post topics to get a conversation started, particularly when it comes to Duran Duran. Personally, I love surveys and polls. They’re fun little “litmus” tests for the fan community, and they’re fun to look back on from year to… Continue reading How do we really feel about Autumn Albums?

Where Forever and Yesterday Collide
Where forever and yesterday collide… I think those words, which I am borrowing from my friend @BoysMakeNoise, sum up the emotion of this day. Today, we commemorate 9/11. I had a friend lose a daughter that day, not a single Patriot’s Day goes by without my thinking about Lisa Frost or her family. I don’t… Continue reading Where Forever and Yesterday Collide
Today in DD History: San Antonio
Some days, there’s not much to say…this is one of those days. I’ve got an orientation to be at in under an hour, packing to do, and a house to clean. It’s a busy day. On this date in 2016, Duran Duran played in San Antonio at the Tobin Center for Performing Arts. This date… Continue reading Today in DD History: San Antonio
When the Title of Your Album is Crowned Upon Thy Heads – Paper Gods
Are they really Paper Gods? So many times now, I’ll see fans refer to Duran Duran as the Paper Gods. In theory, I know what they mean. I had their posters as my wallpaper too, and yeah, I definitely worshipped them. They were the Kings of Everything to me. I hadn’t met them, knew nothing… Continue reading When the Title of Your Album is Crowned Upon Thy Heads – Paper Gods
Trampled but Still Breathing and Reaching for the Sunrise!
Good morning, everyone! (It’s still morning in California!) This is going to be a crazy week, and I feel compelled to share. I don’t know what anyone else did over the weekend, but I rebuilt part of our back patio cover, alongside my husband and son. This morning, every part of my body is loudly… Continue reading Trampled but Still Breathing and Reaching for the Sunrise!
Bell Centre, Montreal 2016
On this date in Duran history, the band played at the Bell Centre in Montreal in 2016. This was one date included along the way for their Paper Gods tour. I know of at least one person who was there that night, too! (A big hug and shout out to Heather!) I don’t know about… Continue reading Bell Centre, Montreal 2016
James Cole Winery Listening Party, 2015
Do you remember March 28, 2015? I do. It was a day of envy, pride, joy, and jealousy. On that date, Duran Duran appeared at a label (Warner Bros) event at James Cole Winery. It was a party designed to schmooze radio personnel and DJs by giving them a taste of Duran Duran circa 2015.… Continue reading James Cole Winery Listening Party, 2015
Label comings and goings
I don’t know what it is about March 27th, but Duran Duran has announced a record deal ending, as well as one starting on this date in the past. In 2009, Simon Le Bon wrote about their deal ending with Sony on duranduran.com. It was also on this date in 2015 that Warner Bros. announced… Continue reading Label comings and goings
Losing Control: Where is it leading to?
If it hadn’t been for Amanda, I don’t think I would have remembered that Duran Duran,along with a fair amount of fans I recognize, are in Dubai this week. Life has been a bit up in the air here lately. My husband has been interviewing by phone for a lot of companies all over the… Continue reading Losing Control: Where is it leading to?
Valentine Stones while we dance on the Valentine
If I thought yesterday was bad, today is even worse. There are not many notable Duran Duran “events” on my calendar for today, although the band has played a few shows on this date over the years, notably in 1984, 1993, and 2005. So, I decided to do something different and talk about a song… Continue reading Valentine Stones while we dance on the Valentine
