Though Forgotten; Still Worth Mentioning

I forgot to write a post about Duran Duran's new album. Sorry! :(
I thought, for some reason, that my other posts during March 21st
were more important. What am I even saying!?

Oh well, better late than never!

So...
the new album--HELL YEAH!!!
Especially the song "The Man Who Stole a Leopard"!
When I first heard the song--I couldn't contain myself! To me; it was the grand finale of that album. You could say differently--everyone has their own taste! :)

I think these songs were considered bonus tracks; correct me if I'm wrong:
Early Summer Nerves had kind of a sexy in-the-bedroom beat.
It reminds me of a song that would play well in a lounge club; or any club during the summer.
Side note: I think that explains why there is 'Summer' in the title. lol

Too Bad You're So Beautiful is... well... beautiful! It's a great song--I recommend you to play it for your lover (preferably a girl; I don't think any guy wants to be called beautiful).
I love Simon's voice at the end: "Beautiful--Mmmmmm... hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm! Beautiful--It's too bad... just too bad! It's too bad! Beautiful, ohh-ohh! It's too bad... just too bad! It's too bad"!

Other People's Lives is a song about people who share way too much info about others--in a not-so-good way. I think that goes for gossiping, reality shows, and the tabloids. We just get sick of it; who cares about the stars. What I mean is: the crappy things that aren't so important!

The song has kind of a circus sound to it. Moral of the Song: Lying about people and/or telling the whole world about them is just plain silly. No pun intended--if that was a pun!?

"Other people's lives; Pixelated lies; Just like yours and mine"!

Too Close To The Sun!? Sounds like he had Too Much Time in the Sun!
The song is too ear piercing, when it comes to him singing in it!
He could have done better on it--we just know it! I have no problem with
the tune. If he wants to experiment with sounds, that's fine with me; but the
whole concept on it--what was he trying to get across to us!? What was his point!?

Next song please!

The Joke Section: I expected it to last!

Sorry, but do to the lack of jokes I will no longer be posting new ones. I ran freshly out of ideas; or should I say Duran Duran shouldn't be made fun of to begin with...

...back to what I was saying...

Underneath here, I posted all the jokes I came up with that was placed in the 'A Duran Duran Joke' section*

1. Q: How comes Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes wear the same clothes?
A: They both have the same three Taylors (Tailors)!

2. Q: What does Nick Rhodes like to collect?
A: Nick-Knacks (Knick-Knacks)!

3. Q: What is Simon Le Bon's favorite candy?
A: Bon-Bons!

*If there's any more you can come up with, feel free to let me know!

First Animated Video

I've always wanted to make an animated video (more Duran Duran related), and now that I'm finally finished; I have no reason to be worried if I ever do another one. It is a video to an Arcadia song, but heck Duran Duran does have something to do with this group. I mean... Simon Le Bon, Roger Taylor, and Nick Rhodes are part of Arcadia; are they not?Someone on YouTube (a special friend of mine), wanted me to make a mix to an Arcadia song 'The Flame'. I thought it over for about a couple of minutes, than got to work on it. Though it wasn't a mix per say--more like an extended version of the song--I thought I did a good job on it; maybe better. I'm not going to give anything away, so you'll have to see for yourself: The Flame (Extended Burnt Mix)
