12|18|03Updates in the Thud Pages courtesy of Angelpix! New Promos added in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and one new Candid in 1999! Check them out!

12|17|03Eek! It's been hella long since this site has been updated! For this, I apologize. So, moving forward... John did some serious touring this past November with those other 4 guys (you know... the ones who make up Duran Duran?), and they sold out just about every single venue they booked! Those Duran boys (plus John) even did some gigs down under recently (some of which were in support of fellow pop superstar Robbie Williams), so our friends in Australia got to see them for the first time in 18 years! Was it the crocs or the koalas that kept you away, fellas? Next on the agenda, Duran Duran are doing a gig in San Antonio in February, and rumor has it that they may play the SuperBowl preshow tailgate party (in the same weekend)... there have been tour dates scheduled in the UK in April! In other news, Duran Duran has teamed up with a company that now runs an official, members-only fan club whose purpose (so far) is to keep members informed of the latest tour information, make VIP packages available and hold presales for Duran Duran shows: duranduranmusic.com. Membership dues for the U.S. and beyond is $35 USD/yr (via PayPal), they promise that their site will offer more, so keep your eye on 'em. Be sure to check both DD.com and DDmusic.com for information on ticket presales.

Site Updates: There's a new Calendar up for December/January in Creative Outlet with a bit of holiday cheer for you. And, yes, as evidenced above, I decided to dig around the ol' BassGod attic and dust off our JT Claus again for the season. He's still unsure of the ratio of Naughty:Nice BassGod Groupies. He'll be checking his list twice, though, just like he does every year. You might end up with old popped bass strings in your stocking, if you're not too careful. Our staff writer, and all around cutie-pie Nicole has written up some special Nigel Pages for you to check out in Good Reasons, so you'll have to do a little reflective reading when you have a lull in cookie-decorating, gift-wrapping, candle-lighting, etc. Here's hoping all of you have a wonderful holiday, and lots of warm, fuzzy moments with friends and family.

8|3|03July was a busy month! As you all may know, John played live with all original members of Duran Duran in Japan (5 shows), California (2 shows) and Vegas (two shows) this month! Some of you were even got to attend some of those shows. Kudos to you all! FYI (for the uninitiated), licensed live cds of said shows may be purchased at TheMusic.com (except the special show at The Roxy in CA). There's a new Calendar up for July/August in Creative Outlet featuring a photo from TTP.

6|20|03Happy birthday, JT! Last night, Sunshine did a special Radio Broadcast on her local public radio station, and compressed it for streaming. Also, check out the Birthday Book. There's more new coming...

6|2|03We have some new stuff on the way, June Calendar and more (sorry for the delay)! Hey, be sure to get your birthday wishes in for JT, we're putting something together for Mr. Fabulous. ;)

Also, check out TTP for some cool new pics of JT during his one-hour DJ stint last Friday at Star 98.7 in California, as well as new photos in the studio trying out his chosen tour gear and new spins on the TTP turntable. There's other newness on the way at TTP in the way of downloads and the like, so keep checking back there. Did you know there are Duran Duran tour dates booked for Japan and California in July? Check ticketmaster for information and tickets.

1|6|03 New Reading Material: Nicole/JellyBean has submitted a beautiful piece to Good Reasons in the Musings section! Also, you might notice a lot of news has been cleared off. That's because we've finally archived it! Also, we've updated the Run Together page with additional links! Have a great week!

1|1|03 Happy New Year! We're going to start this year off right with a new feature in Creative Outlet - BassGod's Monthly Calendar Wallpaper (January is available for download now). I've noticed that our buddies at TigerBeat already have a brand new 2003 full year's calendar up, so be sure to check that out as well. ;) Unfortunately, we've been a little lax of late with keeping up with things of the John Taylor nature, so as always, do check TTP for the latest news and gear (also our message board is the "eyes and ears" of our site as far as updated info in our arena).

There's some new shwag to be snagged at TTP! If you haven't already done so, order a copy of the retro-coolness that is TTP*Retro magazine! It's 32 pages of pure unadulterated joy, with a beautiful intro written by Mr. Taylor himself. If you can get past the beautiful graphics, there are Nigel Pages (oldies, but goodies) as well as fan Q&A w/ JT & Miss Patty P. and commentary submitted by you, the fans. It even comes packaged with a bonus sampler CD with two never before heard tracks! They've also got some very cool brand new threads up for sale, so check those puppies out! Also, check back here, for more newness, because in the very near future we're expecting to hear from our very own JellyBean/Nic! And, JT performs this Saturday in support of James Angell! TTP has all the details.

Also, run, don't walk, to Duranduran.com for a new audio sample! It's a preview of work in progress for Duran Duran's upcoming album as they return to their 1981-85 roots as a 5-some. I must say... the bass isback!
