| ********************************************************************************************************* MOST RECENT ENTRIES -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Friday, March 19, 2004 Intro to me I'm Kaz, and I've been a Duranie since their first appearance on Top of the Pops in about 1981 singing Planet Earth. From that moment, at the age of 8 or 9, I fell in love with Simon Le Bon (who didn't), and I knew that they were 'my band'. I always thought of them as New Romantics, but can now see the references to Bowie & Roxy Music. There's even a punk feel to some of the early demos I've heard recently. It's now about 23 yrs since the guys changed my life. And in all that time I've never yet managed to make it to a concert (too young, or just too skint!) - but this year all that changes! The Reunion has sparked off my passion once again (not that it had ever really abated), and the moment I heard the guys would be touring the UK I promised myself that I'd finally make it to a gig. Unfortunately I've moved from my birthplace in the south-east of England to a more forgotten part of eastern England, so I'm not going to get to see a Wembley gig. While I'm waiting to see the guys, and the excitement is building, I'm trawling the web for pics etc, and doing a virtual scrapbook. I hope to get that online soon.... watch this space! I get a bit of stick from hubby (he's not all that into them!) especially over the crush I have on Simon! When I put the Greatest DVD on he wanders off to do something else, and recently said that he felt like he was competing with an ex-boyfriend (if only!). My fave DD songs are: Ordinary World, The Seventh Stranger and What Happens Tomorrow (which I believe is set to be the next single). My fave DD video is probably A View To A Kill (I like the humour!), and my fave band member is Simon (in case you hadn't guessed!). I think it was probably Nick, and the other Synth players of the 1980s, that inspired me to learn to play the piano - and now all I want is a nice keyboard to play with! In my life away from all things DD, I'm a web-designer (but too busy at the mo to come up with my own design for this blog!), I'm married and have 2 dogs. I love reading, watching films (old and new), listening to music (esp. British 80s bands) and playing with my PS2. I hope to share the anticipation and build-up to the Sheffield gig in this blog, and I'll be writing up a review afterwards. I'm also planning on linking to my fave DD sites. posted by Unknown -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // *END OF NEW ENTRIES* \\ |
