Wasn’t Mark Ronson supposed to be reviving Duran Duran by producing their last album? Guess that went down well. Compared to morose-stuff-your-dad-might-like like Snow Patrol and The Stereophonics though, Duran Duran doesn’t seem too bad an idea to me. *pops collar, wraps tie around head, rolls up jacket sleeves, marries a model*
Between that Kari Byron pic and the Gina Carano gif, it’s looking like a sexy Wednesday indeed. They even negate the Creed fan.
For England, it’s tough to judge (being an American). I mean, who stands out in your minds? The Rolling Stones, who are a zillion years old and who take a beating every time they do the Superbowl half time (“More old guys! Jeez!”), the Beatles can’t exactly do it. You could try and go for “respectability” but Elvis Costello doesn’t exactly rock the house. Adele has a big following internationally right now and we’ll probably still remember her in 10 years so she’d be a safe bet.
If they’re going to go retro 80′s, I’d have said maybe Depech Mode, but Duran Duran had the bigger following so while my choice is more fun, theirs is probably more logical. The closing ceremony’s New Order and Blur–Blur had one hit, right? New Order feel even more like a snapshot in time than Duran Duran do.
And I’ll just pretend you don’t exist and only read Danger’s posts from now on.
