Maybe it’s YOUR turn to turn this around? How about YOU work 20 hours a day on a typewriter, publishing a fanzine? How about you create crosswords, competitions, interviews, articles, designs, organising conventions etc etc etc. Been there, done that 😉 Well I applaud you. You’ll know how hard it is keep morale high by being an editor. Enthusiasm should be provided from the top of the tree and when that tree blossoms, it should fall and scatter amongst those lieutenants who work damn hard to relay DD news. But what can you do when there is no worthwhile news? However, I see there’s a ‘new’ Rio campaign in the DD store, selling crap bags and the like. Where are the real collectors items?? Just ridiculous.

I just find it funny that many threads on here mention Reportage and Nick's keyboard skills. I just found it fun to post a video where I noticed the band dancing. It wasnt meant to be a bash, it was just a fun video.
I only put videos in their own threads if they deserve it, like the Unreleased African song I found recently, and the OOMM perfecto live. I know MarkUK and SirRogerLeJohn do a sterling job posting old news clips, photos and videos to keep us happy. If they didnt the place would look a bit boring.
As has been said, there isnt much to talk about after 40 years what hasnt been mentioned already. The Roland Award was at least topical to this year. Its not moaning at Nicks skills, its just a Matter of Fact - can't you see my smiling? I think the band enjoy being bashed as it means the fire of the fans is still hot and burning the ground. At least it makes a change from "Are we nearly there yet?" about the next album.

To be fair, if you mention (to quote you) Nick’s ‘lack of keyboard skills’ then you’re going to open up a can of worms. 🤷

It's all about recreating the same exact sound with Nick and Duran live and many others..It's sound scape....lol..Is he a Howard Jones or Vince Clark..no but in some aspects being a controller he creates more lush sounds better than someone who can actually play! And that's all you need with a Duran record? Right?

Very well done podcast on all the Duran albums and hits! About 50 Duran songs featured with band members insight on the songs... I highly suggest any Duran fan to check it out!!!! pandora.app.link/Q8HSEN9ntdbIs this the same one as Claudia’s BBC Radio 2 programme from last night? I can’t access Pandora as I’m in the UK.

Thank you for clarifying. The way it was advertised on Radio 2 is that is was Claudia chatting with them, well she did none on that on this. That’s why I’m hoping next week’s one she will be & playing the new single.

Or is part 2 a new segment? Seriously this is all crap and I’m confused with it all. Can anybody please confirm if the Radio 2 broadcast is different to Pandora? I’ve noted on Twitter that the programme maker Kellie Redmond has stated that there were 40 songs featured. So that doesn’t make sense with Pandora’s 50?

These are 10 different songs not part of the 40 original songs ... perhaps edited. the issue was that Spotify show wasn’t available for UK audiences where we in the States already heard it months ago... So BBC show are for those who don’t have Spotify or Pandora is my take but I just listened to BBC and it’s the same I heard months ago...
