Halloweenies!

I tried to find something poignant for the holiday (Halloween, Samhain, All Hallow's Eve, Day of the Dead, or Wednesday, whichever you prefer). The best I could do is this clip, from a TV show in Argentina. There are costumes, smoke, creepy Simon lip sync antics, and I'm pretty sure Warren's wearing his All Hallow's Weave.

Liquid Assets - Part 6

I hate to see this series come to an end! Interesting numbers on the concert sales here, as well as the (not quite) final tallies. I think I'm personally responsible for at least a few rounds of drinks over the years.

Liquid Assets - Part 5

Sadly, Big Thing and all of the records post The Wedding Album were totally skipped over in this one, but it's otherwise juicy.

Sorry Simon.

I didn't mean to almost forget your birthday. Click below for my special message to you (originally my special message to myself):

Glue: A Tribute to the Music of Duran Duran: "Happy Birthday to You" was created for...ME!

Cheers!

Liquid Assets - Part 4

Cute warning: Roger blows a kiss in this one. Depending on your reaction to that, this might not be safe for work.

High moments (Nick buying a Picasso on his credit card) and low moments (how cruel of them to reair Simon's Live Aid note-gone-wrong!) abound here. Roger goes farming, and John makes out with everybody's mom.

Liquid Assets - Part 3

Ooh, another good one highlighting all of the heyday mayhem we were responsible for, as well as Nick's impressive art collection (so rare, he can't even look at it. That's my favorite part.), Nile Rodgers making them sound too black, and the star of the "Rio" video's poor aging.

Just a little note from your resident citizen journalist...

Dear readers and fellow bunnychuckers,

I wanted to bring to your awareness a new feature of the blog. If you turn your attention toward the left of your viewing area and down a little (no, a little further), to just below the "Other Great Links" area (which has also been updated), you'll see two easy ways to subscribe to this blog.

One is by the normal old standard way, which subscribes you in the feed reader of your choice.

The other, powered by Feedblitz, gives you a few more options, including having updates delivered to you by email.

These are just my way of saying, "Hey, geek out with me in a way that doesn't disrupt your day, and makes your viewing even easier." Because I care.

Hugs, kisses, and cigarette butts,

Dana

P.S. I shouldn't tell you this yet, but I want to let you in on a secret since we're now BFFs (or is it BFsF?). Glue: A Tribute to the Music of Duran Duran might just be available in download form soon from CD Baby. If you'd like a physical copy in time for the holidays (they make great fishnet stocking stuffers), there are still some available there as well that you can get anytime!

P.P.S. You can get a flash player for your site, blog, or MySpace page by going here! It features "Night Runner", "Skin Divers", and both the single version and video for "Falling Down".

Liquid Assets - Part 2

Here's the second part of one of the best little documentaries I've seen on the history of Duran Duran (thank you, BBC!). Some familiar names appear (Paul King and Andy Wickett? I didn't even realize I missed you!), and the origin of the frilly shirt is revealed. Not as cool is the origin of some of the early songs. But I won't spoil it for you! What would a Duran story be without suspense, intrigue, drama, laughter, tears, and plumage?

Liquid Assets - Part 1

Man, this is a great interview series! I don't even have anything sarcastic to say (ok, that's a lie. Nice David Cassidy routine there, young Simon! He looks like one of the Water Babies!). Look for more of these in the coming days.

Nick's Kitty

No, not Sebastian, you old-schoolers! Here's a clip from Countdown (from Australia, I think) back in '83 featuring a synthesized kitty meow that seems to really be entertaining Nick. What a tiny little sprite he was!

The Andy Taylor Blues.

The new Duran Duran video debuted this week (for "Falling Down", if you haven't been following the countdown to Red Carpet Massacre like a schoolgirl). And I can't help it, but I miss Andy. So here's "Take it Easy", live from '87. Mourn with me, folks.

Guest Taylors.

Here's a clip of a couple of Taylors guest Vj'ing on MTV back in the Power Station days. I'm sure they were both totally sober.

Spy Matthews Rocks!!

What did you think I was gonna post? Here's the greatest clips of Spy Matthews from everyone's favorite slumber party video, Sing Blue Silver. He's the most memorable character (alongside the girl who wanted to meet "Stang" and Simon lebon's yellow underwear). Spy is actually a really swell guy, who can be found at Delicate Productions today.

Funky Monks - Notorious (don't worry, you'll like this)

I usually find most live Duran cover bands cringe-worthy (ironic, no?), but I'm glad I found this one! It's Funky Monks performing "Notorious" live and pretty much kicking ass at it. Go bass guy, go!

Very Happy for Come Undone!

You can do nothing but enjoy this clip of very cool singer-songwriter Happy Rhodes (no relation) performing "Come Undone" live. Well, you can do other things, but I wouldn't advise it.
