Come Undone Thursday!

I think I'm going to just starting doing a "Come Undone" day, because it's the song I always hear the most covers of. This one is way above average, so I hope you dig it as much as I do. Oh hell, what am I saying? You will. It's not like we're not sharing one collective Duran consciousness at this point.

Here's VOiD808, mixing vocals the way I like 'em!



And as a bonus, check it out live, too! And become a fan at Myspace!

Thank you, Gretchen!

My buddy Gretchen kicks major butt for having posted this one on Facebook this morning. One of the best Duran interviews I've never seen! So awesome when stuff like this falls out of nowhere!




Speaking of falling out of nowhere, I'm back!!! Expect some new posts on a (semi) regular basis again.

Recap the Glue!

Since we've been posting so much more lately, here's a convenient recap of recent posts, so you can catch up if you missed any!

Back with the Future!
He's Got a License to Totally Kill It.
If Only Jay Could Have Predicted YouTube...
It's Friday, Babies!
Ta na na na? Ta na na na!
La Reflex

...and, you can still vote for which cat we should sponsor from Bestfriends.org over at the Bangs...Sounds of the 80's blog!

La Reflex

If you didn't get enough of "The Reflex" yet, here's a 'live' performance from Italy. Even through the bad reception, the mullets are pretty.

Ta na na? Ta na na na!

I found a really cool article over at Sound on Sound about the recording of Seven and the Ragged Tiger and, in particular, "The Reflex" that I just had to my recording blog. All of you techies will enjoy it!

Everyone else can start their week with the "Ta Na Na Na" dance!

It's Friday, babies!

Awwwww yeah...This jam makes me want a foo foo drink and some strappy shoes to shake my booty in. Try not to tap your toes!



I know I've posted that video before, but c'mon...do you really mind?

And on a more serious note (there's really no way to segue that will work here)...I desperately need your opinions over at the Bangs...Sounds of the 80's blog for our kitty sponsorship. Please help us out (no money involved - just love for kitties)!

If only Jay could have predicted YouTube...

If Jay Leno could have predicted YouTube and streaming shows and all of that, maybe he would have taken Warren up on his suggestion to broadcast from home. Then we wouldn't be waiting for Conan to take over from him on The Tonight Show. What am I saying? Scratch that idea. Hopefully the current lineup will be hitting that stage again with the red haired genius sooner than later!

For now...enough frilly shirts and black leather to sink a pirate ship on Goth night at the local karaoke bar!

He's got a License to totallly Kill It.

Those of you following along over at DuranDuran.com already know that Mark Ronson continues direct the boys into some sort of disco/indie/retro/new/super-cute-in-ties-and-stuff territory for the new album. But did you also know that he can rock a Bond medley?



And here's that new studio footage, in case you're *not* following along:



Speaking of NEW things, did you know there's a new Facebook Page for Glue: A Tribute to the Music of Duran Duran? Join up, comment, be the first to hear old things...y'know the drill!

Back with the Future!

Ooh, where am I? Even *I* started popping in to see if I'd updated yet. Sorry guys. I will not neglect you again!

I want to spotlight more Michael Aaron Duran-goodness, because he rocks! Check out his "Secret Oktober":



And because my heart doesn't just belong to inspiration--let's hear some of Michael's orginals, too. If you're not a fan yet, you're just nutty:



Subscribe to his YouTube channel for all of his videos. I swear, between the artistry and the catchy tunes, you do Duran proud, Michael...

Michael Aaron rocks.

Oh, Michael Aaron, you are a Duranie musician after my own heart. Not only a pretty solid cover, but a great, artsy video to boot! If I'd ever bothered to develop a Duran cover rating system, I'm sure there would be three tiger babies or a golden Nagel or something in this for you. Alas, all I have to offer today is my embedding. Enjoy!

Have you heard?

The boys are back in the studio! Without a producer! With Dom Brown on guitar! I don't know what to think yet!



Actually, there may be another bit of new album news that may interest you, my fellow bunnychuckers, in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

OMG OMG OMG

The angels are smiling upon me, as proven by the fact that there are scenes from the Classic Albums: Rio floating around now! w00t!

Warning: I will not be posting these in order, because that requires far too much focus and planning.

Enjoy!

STERLING!!!

Where did this gem come from? I could do without the "You're gonna blow for us now" about halfway through, but otherwise this clip might actually be perfect. Big Thing = my favorite era, and this performance is spectacular by anyone's standards, let alone Duran's (no offense...but there are some wackadoo live Duran performance recordings out there. "Let it Flow" tour, I'm looking at you).

Happy birthday Andy!!

In honor of the shortest Taylor's birthday, here's a cute little clip with an unfortunate cutoff point. My Gawd, those lads could accessorize!



And I will be doing my best to post a little more often. Been working day and night on the new Serious Vanity Music website, but there's finally light at the end of the tunnel, so I'm back in the Duran game!
