366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 335 Number 32 Duran Duran

My favourite Duran song.
Incidentally, the Australian flag Simon is waving towards the end of this clip was given to him by yours truly... #justsayin 
Duran Duran made great B-sides. Here are a couple...

Here is a selection of tracks from DD side projects. The Arcadia single is amazeballs!

This pic of me and my sis (who's been a massive fan from the start) was taken in 1982 outside the Countdown studios (my home away from home during my teens) in Melbourne...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 333 Number 34 Michael Jackson / Jackson 5


Well of course I'm going to include Macca! Great vid. Highly disturbing that Michael chooses to fall for his sister, however...
What a legacy...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 332 Number 35 The Carpenters


I like to think Karen Carpenter and myself had a bit in common; same name, singing, drumming... and, um, that's probably where it ends...
What an amazing talent.
It irks me that she (still) receives so much stick (no pun intended) about her drumming.
Karen was an incredible drummer! 
And just to drum the fact into you, that she really was sensational (OK, that pun was intended), here is some footage of Karen playing them...
