I feel as though the past week has been a whirlwind, and I’m not even in the band! Each day has a variety: things to watch, articles to read, new music, and chart news I couldn’t have even imagined. Like many of you have mentioned, it has been difficult to keep up – a very… Continue reading Plastic Paradise

Someone Else Not Me
This week, we begin Pop Trash, released in June of 2000 – the very first album of the decade by the band. The album was the first release after leaving EMI, the label they had been with since 1981, and was the only album released under Hollywood Records. It was also the final album for… Continue reading Someone Else Not Me

Lyrics Read “Read My Lips” by Duran Duran on Genius YouTube Audio Rhonda I have to break this brief review down into… Continue reading Read My Lips
Destination Unknown
What are you writing about this week, someone asked? Destination unknown, I thought. Sometimes, it’s just that easy. Twenty minutes later, I had followed the rabbit hole deeper into Missing Persons. Apart from the obvious Duran Duran connection with Warren Cuccurullo, I always held their two MTV videos close to my heart. Is it time… Continue reading Destination Unknown
Pop Trash at 20
Last week saw a Duran Duran anniversary. No, I don’t mean John Taylor’s 60th (although that happened, too!). I am referring to the Pop Trash album turning 20! 20! How is that even possible?! Did you also know that there was a write-up about the anniversary on the band’s official website? You can read it… Continue reading Pop Trash at 20
Hothead – The Daily Duranie Review
Here we are. We have indeed arrived at the time to review Hothead. Produced by Chris Kimsey, featuring spoken word by none other than Simon Le Bon, there isn’t much written about Hothead. The song does not seem to be a fan favorite, so let’s get to the bottom of it! Rhonda Musicality/Instrumentation The first… Continue reading Hothead – The Daily Duranie Review

Honesty Yesterday morning, I received a text from Jason, letting me know that he’d posted the blog. (check it out here if you haven’t yet!) Somewhat cryptically, he mentioned that he hoped it wasn’t too rough. The guest blogger he’d worked with was open and candid with regard to her feelings about the videos they’d… Continue reading Fight it, or Invite It
Liberty – The Daily Duranie Review
Here we are, fresh into a new year, and we’re getting back on a reasonable schedule with our review series, we promise! Today, we’re going to check out the second track off of the Liberty album, which coincidentally is titled “Liberty”. There isn’t a lot of background on the song that is readily available. The… Continue reading Liberty – The Daily Duranie Review
