The New 'Enjoy Your Float'

Sorry for not posting for awhile... the reason is simple; I have a new blog! All of you who loved this blog site (or visit it as often as possible) should visit my new and improved site, "Enjoy Your Float!" Enjoy Your Float? Isn't that the same name as this site? Well, yes it is genius! The difference is... the site is on Tumblr! I know, applaud if you must, but it ain't that big of a deal; except for the improvements itself--such as the neat look of the site, my mixes in an easier format to listen to, a poll to vote on these mixes, funny stuff to enjoy....

....and so much more!

Sorry to keep you on edge there! Here's the site: The New Enjoy Your Float

All You Need Is New?!

Yes, new--I created a new mix; so this post's title fits best!
I dare you to say (this post's title fits best) that... ten times fast!
*Phew,* what a tongue twister!

Okay, now time to be serious!
Serious? Hey, that's a Duran Duarn song!
Oops, back to what I was saying...

...Here's the mix I was talking about:

All You Need Is Now (Sway Away Edit) by rccola14

Happy D2 Appreciation Day!

Happy DDAD, everybody! Yes, DDAD (pronounced DEE'DAD)!

It stands for "Duran Duran Appreciation Day".

So, if you see a duranie; say "Happy DDAD!" They'll get the point. :/

Okay... for this very marvellous, awesome, and special occasion; the first twenty people to send me a positive comment about any of my remixes--extended versions and all--will get a chance to have their name, and why they love DURAN DURAN posted on my blog.

And, if anyone can name me the title of four (your favorite) mixes I've made; will receive a 'signed' original copy of my very own animation drawing*

*if anyone would like the real signed piece of paper; please send me an email so I can give you directions to where you can visit me for the handout--I will NOT give out my actual address for safety reasons

If no one would like to visit me for this special handout; I will be glad to send you a JPEGed or bitmapped version of the 'signed' picture.

Note: please give me your email address, so I can send you your handout prize--I will not spam you!

Have fun! :)

A Summer Mix Was Made :D

To all my fans out there,

I have made a great mix out of Duran Duran's awesome bonus track, "Early Summer Nerves".
It's very sad that "...Summer Nerves" didn't make the physical CD (All You Need is Now); but everyone else knows Duran Duran created way too many songs to give a care whether or not this exact song was placed there [on the CD of course]! Umm...



...Back to what I was saying. The song I've made is called, 'Early Summer Nerves (Vacay Mix)'; and you can hear it by clicking PLAY below. Enjoy! :)

Early Summer Nerves (Vacay Mix)

Be aMAZED, be really aMAZED!

My fellow fans,

I have just made a new remix; it is called 'Vertigo (Maze Megrim Remix)'!
Maze means dizzy, and megrim means depression. So the song really should be called
'Vertigo (Dizzy Depression Remix)', but I liked the sound of my first choice better.

Vertigo (Maze Megrim Remix) or Vertigo (Dizzy Depression Remix); you decide*

*actually, not really--I've already chosen the title! Sorry about that! :(

To listen to this new remix, go to the "My Mixes" tab. Enjoy!

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!

Coming Soon: Behind the Scene Pics from 'The Flame (Extended Burnt Mix)' Video

Keep and eye out for hand-drawn pictures from the video (the actual pictures in the making of my mix)!
I will post theme in 'My Artwork' tab.

Please make sure to watch (The Flame) my recent video on YouTube. All you will need to do is click on 'The Flame (Extended Burnt Mix)' link; placed within the 'First Animated Video' post!

Thanks for reading this post; and enjoy the rest of my blog site. Remember to come back soon for the behind the scene pictures!

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)

Good News / Bad News

Dear Friends of Mine (also a Duran Duran song),

A have good news! And I have bad news! What would you like to hear first? Ahem...
The Bad News: I ran freshly out of Duran Duran jokes, so...

The Good News: ...I'll have to repeat old jokes to take the place of new ones; until newer jokes are therefore added (whenever that may be)!

Hmm! That sounded more like Bad News to me; then Good News!

Oh well--sorry for the inconvenience!
