( I had a wedding party yesterday... )

First I wanna say: I just can't wait for my holidays!
I'm tired all the time and I hate that. The worst thing is that I cannot sleep well so I rest just a few hours, and then I'm like ten or more hours working hard in front of the computer and I feel like I'm far away from everything or everyone.
Holidays, come to me...please...

( Now on to the stuff... )

Now, on the final part of this stunning show!

( Read more... )

I could finally get this fan-filmed show and, though the image and sound was not great in this DVD, I swear, it's absolutely AWESOME! A kick-ass show, indeed!

I also happened to see the Live from London DVD last week (great show too!), and though this LFL was technically superior (with those stage and screen and lights), I believe the Personal Fest concert was better if I have to talk about their performance, even with a few mistakes (that make this even more endearing to me).

What, have you heard that?!?!?!


Misheard lyrics? Oh yessssss! Well, for me, when I was a very young lady :), every song was a misheard lyric!

( Preacher for the sunrise! )

Notorious, the first DD album released without Andy and Roger Taylor, received at that moment mixed reviews. A way to summarize it all (if this can be achieved!) is saying that it was considered, in general, nice to listen but a) uninspired or b) unremarkable or c) having lost DD identity or d) lacking the innovation edge of previous albums (mostly their two firsts works).


( Notorious! )

Video:
Once again, Simon is the main Duran of this video. This one tells us about a little love affair he has with a woman in an exotic land (there's a pattern here!) while shots of the band-mates and Sri Lanka accompany the unfolding of this story.

Ok, I have to vent this, today was incredibly hot and humid here in Buenos Aires, and I hate that! I hate it, hate it, hate it!

( Can you taste the Summer? But of course! )

Astronaut is the last one, so it will be the first one to be under my claws. I've had these thoughts inside my head for a long time so it's good to let them out at last!

It surely sounds unbelievable, but first I was hooked by DD's music and THEN by their looks.

Video:

It's funny and I still quite like it. The video tell us about Simon (who else?) chasing a woman in an exotic country while the other Durans try to find out where the heck Simon has gone.

STORY TITLE: WRITING A ROGER FANFIC (caption story)
AUTHOR:Gaby
RATING: PG
STARRING DURAN: All of them
SUMMARY: John decides to write some fan fic to cheer Rog up but it's not an easy task.
DISCLAIMER: If you think this really happened, I want some of what you're having.

Video:

I really like it.
I've heard many people complaining about this one, but I find it interesting and it makes me think a lot, no matter what some women say about being a "total man's fantasy".

Of course, unlike "Planet Earth", it's not the kind of video I watch over and over again, it has another pace, another rhythm and there's no goofiness or cheesiness (does this word exist?!?), though there is a story, an erotic love story about two women who finally met in a garage.

The video, a nice mini-film, is wonderfully filmed in black and white, which adds a melancholic touch to the images we see, images that suit well this eerie song.

Video:

I don't like it. It's not that I hate it, but I simply don't enjoy it, it does nothing for me and I also think that the girls are not very attractive. The guys (I'm not talking about the Durans, of course!) don't appeal to me; the last one has an athletic body and a nice ass, but he gives me the creeps!

It's supposed to be hot but for me, it isn't. Hey, I wanna see the Durans and they don't appear too much in this video!

I don't have much to say about this one, not even for a good rant, except that the one with the alternative end made me laugh indeed! Another good thing is that the Durans look terrific!

VIDEO:

Cheesy, with some ridiculous FX....And what about Simon on fire? And those red lines appearing from nowhere? Maybe it’s because of these things and more that I LOOOOOOOOOOVE SO MUCH this one! I can see it many times and I never get bored!

It’s amusing, entertaining and endearing, and even those cheesy FX make it more charming to me.

My reviews of these videos are not going to be technical, so don’t expect them to be full of those details. It’s just simply saying “I like it or not”, and why.

Each one will have three mini-sections:

• Video: just comments about the video.
  
• Song: what I think of the song that’s been represented by the video.
  
• The Boys: what I think of the Durans taking part in the video (well, they’ll always be the Boys for me!)
  

I’ll begin with DVD 1, so my first one will be “Planet Earth”.

Enjoy it! (or suffer, whatever, hehe!)

This post is to talk about the usual question, Who was your favorite Duran?
When I was 15, I could say without a blink: SIMOOOOOOOOOOON!
I had a severe crush on him, I loved everything about him: his movements, his hair, his eyes, his lips... and so on.

My second one was Roger, I found him sweet and cute, and as I was a very shy girl, I loved him more for being so low profile.
My sister and I had a little sweet teddy bear, and we named him Roger, of course!

My schoolmates, however, drooled a lot over John Taylor, but as I was very taken by Simon, I didn't take part of that, hehe!
Though I've thought he was cute, he was not my type.
That doesn't mean that I didn't mind about the other Durans, I was interested about the five of them and I read everything about them all, in fact, I was very annoyed when I happened to watch a video with too many few shots of Andy, for instance. Just I was madly in love with Simon! And then Roger!

Now, so many years after, some things remains the same and other have changed.

I'm gonna start this journal at last!
In fact, I've created this LiveJournal account in order to belong to a Duran Duran slash community, hehehehe!
But now that I've got it, I have to do something with this.
So first, I'll try to explain why I decided to be member of a Duran Duran community.

Duran Duran was my first and only band (well, apart from The Beatles but that's another thing, when I began to adore The Fab Four, they had broken up lots and lots of years before!) I was mad about, really mad, and like a proper fan, I bought everything I could that has its name on it! And there was not much, because in Argentina there was not the amount of material that existed, for instance, in the U.S.A.

And live shows??? Down here, it was impossible! But I was happy seeing their videos on MTV, if I could catch them, of course! I could sit for hours, watching painfully a bad bad tv program, if it was announced that anything Duran was going to be on air.
Those were glorious day!!! I was only 15 or 16, more or less about 1984, 1985.
