New Duran Duran interview

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I still love these guys. They sound as good as ever and they've almost never let me down with a new album. I can't believe Nick mentioned "My Antarctica" of all songs. It's one of my favorites and such an obscure one to mention. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for that.

Nick riding around Winnipeg on a borrowed bike? Funny.

I recently found out he has a 20-something girlfriend. I guess being a musician in your 50s and dating half your age is pretty common.

Now I wish another musician in his 50s would also put out live DVDs and put them on facebook for preview! lol

Totally agree! "My Antarctica" is one of their best songs.

This is the remix John mentioned. It's too Europop for me.

Yeah i agree, its like MAGS of a-ha said back in 2003 about remixes of their tracks, he said "we're tired of giving it to dj's and all they do is take it to ibiza and slap beats on, get creative dudes!"

I like remixes from the 1980's and maybe the early 1990's, the ones after that are just a lot of soundalike techno/house. But I don't pay attention to modern radio acts anyway, so I don't care about hearing any remixes of their songs. lol

Agree with the last 2 posts (of lastdecember and Mickeydolenz). I can't tell it's "Hungry Like the Wolf" here except when he sings that chorus.

Also, I much preferred the "night versions" that DD did themselves for their early songs.

i like the remix. if ever there was a song that needed remixing beyond recognizability (due to massively being overplayed, not that the original wasn't good) its Hungry Like the Wolf

It doesn't matter to me if a remix sounds like the original song, I just don't care for the style of music it was remixed in.

I'd say to pick up their latest album thumbs up! If you're interested enough in them to check out this page,

there's a good chance you'd like All You Need Is Now. It's a very good DD album nod

This entire comically kafkaesque event would have never occurred if there had been cell phones in "1980-something." Reminds me of a YT clip I saw reenacting how famous scenes in movies would have ended if there were cell phones - no drama, no problems, just one call and entire scene avoided.

He's actually got a lot of funny stories, I like the dry way in which he tells them. The funniest story is the interview about arriving in Sri Lanka direct from mixing the album "Rio" in London.

Yes, that's what I meant too. If it were not for the chorus, it could have been any of the countless other remix songs out there. Sometimes you can be out all night and feel like this same music has been going on for hours. Doesn't inspire me to keep dancing. Then it's just like background noise.

Yet there's still movies like "Cellular" where the suspense is dependant on battery power or coverage lol
