no, i am not into podcasts... but i think it's a good idea. they managed to reach their fans during corona and personally i think they did well.. simon with his podcast, john with his interviews and bass "lessons"... i don't understand why people now might say "hey, stop this stuff and go working on the new album". if they would do, there would be people saying "hey, everyone is trying to reach their fans during corona.. except duran duran". they did something and i am fine with it :-)

I see what your saying, and agree for the most part, but they have been “working” on this album since 2017. I feel like they are just stringing is along.

I personally couldn't care what Simon likes or dislikes in life; none of that has anything to do with me. It doesn't worry me what music he likes, what teams he follows, or how he likes his steak cooked. But I certainly care what songs he writes, and how he sings, on every Duran Duran album. That's what I care about

To be fair, it’s probably only a few hours out of his week. And Simon has said several times now that this show has reignited his love of music. I get the sense that he is freshly inspired because of it. And who’s to say they aren’t working on the album? An additional album? That was my point. Ahh. DD16. I can totally get behind you on that!

There must be four tracks either completely finished or near as damn it (which can be polished up remotely) that are cohesive (there's that word again...) enough to put together as a taster EP at the very least. It would give us Duranies a lift (or at least something else to moan about) whilst the world stumbles along in this pandemic. And release it on 12" vinyl, but not in ridiculously low numbers. Then either finish off the rest of the album when the chance comes, or start over if that suits better.

I've listened to a few of them. I enjoy hearing Simon and find his musical choices worthwhile. He clearly puts sincere effort into selecting them. He's an intelligent, thoughtful person, with interests that overlap with mine, like literature, motorbikes and travel. However, while I enjoy Simon's enthusiasm and personality, I don't enjoy listening to Katy. She brings it downmarket for me, though she seems sincere. I'd prefer Simon alone, or with much less Katy talking or giving opinions. Also, I don't generally listen to podcasts, but having these on Spotify makes it easier. [/qu I'd enjoy it more if it were just Simon talking, playing music, giving his views,talking about music, art, books etc. Katy is just annoying

They should release the two Moroder tracks now. That way, horrible dance music won't be on the album proper

Most of the new music that comes out I just find to be unlistenable. The only new group in the last 15 years that I have liked is Chromeo. The ironic thing is The lead singer is going to marry JT’s daughter. I also don’t care for Katy.
