Holiday time!

It's time for ridiculous holiday-themed clips to start. This is as fine a beginning as any: the 2006 Yuletide Carolers performing "Hungry Like the Wolf". And it doesn't sound bad.

Get out of the wheelchair, gramps!

I would be snarky here, but Max Headroom definitely beat me to it. Here's a great Arcadia interview on said show that pulls no punches, and also makes little sense. Ah, I miss Max!

The only drumsticks on my Thanksgiving table.

As those of us in the U.S. prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, let's enjoy a classic lip sync clip of "Is There Something I Should Know", which also spotlights a pretty good interview AND Roger twirling drumsticks.

Duran Duran on American Music Awards last night!

Ok, so this is NOT going to be a rare or unique clip by the end of the day, but it's still low enough in views to qualify right now!

Duran performed TWO songs on The American Music Awards last night, and both of them are here. Also included is the super-cute Tony Hawk intro. I could just as easily fangirl over him.

I have mixed feelings over this performance. Extra keyboardist? Did Nick's iBook crash? I kid. I love you, Nick. Really, I do. You're a special snowflake, and I want no one else stealing your proverbial thunder.

And Simon, you sounded pretty good, but why the Arena-era wolf howl at the end? It threw me back to fifth grade, and I got scared that I forgot to finish my book report on Silas Marner. Almost had a hot flash.

Ok...the Red Carpet Massacre stuff will (probably) stop soon!

I don't know why I'm all fangirlie about this release. I haven't even bought it yet! Here's a super cute interview from August. Enjoy Roger speaking. Hopefully you will not be distracted by the very fact that omg he is speaking like I was, and you'll actually hear what he says!



And P.S. I'm not able to embed them, but there's some great links to live footage from the recent Barrymore shows on YouTube. Enjoy!

Needless to say, it's Red Carpet Massacre fever around here...

...or about as close to that as a girl like me gets these days. Here's a performance of "Red Carpet Massacre" AND "Nite Runner" from the Barrymore in NYC, November 6. I guess they've moved the remaining shows to the Roseland Ballroom due to the stagehand strike. It effects me little, seeing as I'm sitting on my couch in the midwest USA. Luckily, no YouTube strikes, so I can enjoy gems like this, and not even mind closeups of Simon sucking in his cheeks.

Full-length EPK for Red Carpet Massacre

There's a shorter version of this that's been floating around, and I was surprised more people hadn't seen this one yet. Enjoy!

I won't hide the fact that I have mixed feelings on the new record (you can stream the whole thing at Vh1.com), but I always love the behind-the-scenes footage!

Does anyone do a Duran cover as good as the Italians?

Here's an offering from Italian Nu Metal band Mellowtoy. And the stylized video is one that I think would make Duran proud!
