video: Duran Duran - All You Need Is Now
By now, some of you may have heard the new Duran Duran album. You can nearly pick out each song they used as a reference to update, yet return to their original sound. I still have to sit with this for a while but as I posted months ago, their David Bowie cover, "Boys Keep Swinging", is fantastic.
Mark Ronson produced this album and told the band he wanted them to return to the way they originally made music. "No Computers". However, I am not sure this rule applied with the corrected Simon LeBon vocals on the single All You Need Is Now.
Overall, I do like this. If you are a fan of later Sneaker Pimps / IAMX, you can hear the similar feel in certain songs where Chris Corner was grabbing his spirit, especially if you ever saw videos of him and Simon performing together. I hope Duranies everywhere will enjoy this album and that this will open the doors for Duran Duran to continue this sound which is truer to their known vibe. There are some great guests on the album but you should just listen to it... enjoy!

VOTD: Duran Duran - Boys Keep Swinging (Bowie Cover)
VOTD: Duran Duran cover David Bowie again! This is the first mp3 I have bought in a few years!!! I hope the new Duran Duran album will be as great as this! They have certainly returned to their old sound and continued! After hearing it the other night, I immediately went on Amazon and purchased!
You can find this on a new Bowie tribute, being released by manimalvinyl.com

VOTD: Duran Duran - Wild Boys
I have spent the last few days working on a remake of this classic by Duran Duran and the video you see is the extended version you may or may not have seen when it was released at the height of the MAD MAX frenzy... before Mel Gibson was outed as a NAZI @$$Hole. Going back, this video cost over 1 million dollars to create, which was a RIDICULOUS amount of loot for anything as such at the time of its 1984 release. More on the video here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Boys_(song)
My plan is to perform this on the 28th of June at the Henry Fonda show with a few other covers before Concrete Blonde storms the stage with their magical performance!
