“Duran Duran -- I remember the first night I was truly cognizant of the individual band members. It was the first Friday of December, 1984. My BFF Pam and I suffered the same affliction of not having cable TV and had to get our music video fix via NBC's "Friday Night Videos." I'd seen Duran Duran videos and knew their songs, but just wasn't all that into them. The video for "Do They Know It's Christmas" came on and I was like, "Pam, who is this hot guy with the long blonde hair???" "Oh, that's Simon LeBon. He's the lead singer of Duran Duran." Hmmm... "I guess that guy with the red and black shirt that says 'Duran Duran' on it is in the band, too, huh?" "Yeah, that's John Taylor. Like EVERYONE thinks he's hot." (And I remember thinking, "He's okay, I guess," LOL!) "Hey, Pam! Who's this guy back here? Shoot, I keep missing him! They just barely show him, with the amazing make-up and the gorgeous eyes???" "Oh, that's Nick Rhodes. He's in Duran Duran, too. I think he plays keyboards." Hmmm... The next video up? "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran! Just a few moments earlier, during "DTKIC," I had picked out these three men who would fill my dreams, diaries, and Duran-induced imagination for years and years to come, three talented musicians whose band's music would, from that night forward change my life forever and whose music would literally save my life more than once.”
In an interview with The Age this week, U2 front man Bono announced the group is working on three new records, the first (as yet untitled) due this Spring with a pleasantly surprising name working the control booth: Mr. Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse).
"We have about 12 songs with him," says Bono, "At the moment that looks like the album we will put out next because it's just happening so easily."
In other world news, weary old school U2 fans are freaking out at the possibility that the group might actually record and release an inventive, relevant rock and roll record again. Depending upon who you ask, it's been either ten (All That You Can't Leave Behind) or nineteen years (Achtung Baby) since the band has made a unanimously acclaimed, classic album. Will Danger Mouse bring his trademark Midas touch to the Irish stalwarts of stadium pomp? We'll have to wait until spring to find out, though Burton will do well to study the classic work by U2 producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois in the meantime.
