Burning the Ground

I am seriously having so much fun doing this blog.  I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.  This video is a Duran Duran mix tape gone visual.  Oh wait, I just asged myself a little by using 'mix tape'.  LOL Maybe I should say mix CD.  Either way, this is great fun to watch and hear.

The Reflex Video

I love this song and video so much.  To this day I can't tell you just what exactly the song is supposed to mean.  And to be honest, that's perfectly all right with me.  This song/video always takes me back to a time and place of fun and happiness with my equally Duran-crazed teenage girlfriends.

Duran Duran Channel on YouTube

Oh my gosh - this is the coolest thing I've found in quite some time. An entiere channel devoted to the band I adore. I'm not certain I have time for the addiction. LOL

I went to YouTube to find a video clip to blog about and found an entire channel. The Nick Rhodes video from the other day is on the YT channel. Really, this is just too great. And a little too much for my tired brain to deal woth right now. So, while I can guarantee that I will be visiting this channel frequently (and sharing a lot from it) - here is the link for now:

Enjoy!

Album Update

I have to say that I think the guys in the band are enjoying teasing us fans about this album. While I adore the fact that they are doing these videos and letting us in (at least a little bit) to the process behind the scenes - I believe they may be laughing about the undefined timeline. Oh well, whether the album is released in seven weeks (I wish) or seven months (I'll live) - I am really looking forward to it. In the meantime, here is another funny video about the album. This time it's from Nick Rhodes. Enjoy - I know I did, more than once. :)

Oh, and Julia - thanks for the tip on resizing the video. This is much better as it actually fits.

Why I Am Creating This Blog

To the people who will certainly roll their eyes and ask me why I am making this blog - I ask,

Why not?

I have loved Duran Duran since I was a child.  Now my children love them.  My oldest keeps asking me when she will be able to see them in concert.  I told her that they are working on a new album and when they tour, she can go see them with me.  She's thrilled, I'm thrilled and it reminds me of being exposed to great music by my own parents.  They taught me to love music and I want to carry on the love.

Other than sharing Duran Duran with my children, I want to share the love with others.  I guess this blog is my (supposedly) grown-up version of passing notes about the band to my girlfriends in junior high school.

Disclaimer: In order to protect myself (if need be), the picture of Duran Duran that is in my header comes from their official website.  This is not my picture and I own the rights in no way, shape or form.  I'm just borrowing the wonderful image in order to share the Duran Duran love.

Enjoy.
