John Taylor Was a Babe By Jauretsi Remember John Taylor? He was the cutest Duran Duran.. although Simon Le Bon was a close second (it’s sort of the eternal John/Paul Beatles debate). In any case, Duran Duran were hands down MTV Gods during the channels early reign, back when videos were nearly avant-garde short films (see Rio or Hungry Like the Wolf). It was during this time that John partied with Bowie, Warhol, and 80’s Supermodels. He was also spiraling into self-destruction — booze, women, drugs. John finally sat down one day and wrote it all down. His book, In The Pleasure Groove is an honest account of the whole era, with some hard-won wisdom. It’s already a UK Bestseller, but the memoir will be released in the US on October 16th ($27.95) at DuranDuran.com.  In the meantime, get yourself some collectible old school vinyl. In terms of bizarre oddities, there’s one Duran Duran Board Game from 1985, and a fascinating airbrushed Tshirt with John Taylor’s face. Get ‘em while they’re hot to prepare for reading the book.  (Photo: Getty Image)

Insta-Peep-o-Gram: Willie Picture Disk By Jauretsi Upon rummaging through my phone today, I happened across a striking photo taken by BG Porter who acts as sales guru for the classic surf brand Lightning Bolt… his alias being Days of Our Slides. Anyways, i got kind of excited looking at the picture disk vinyl. I forgot how much I like them. So I peeked through eBay only to find one. Yes, readers, it’s the Willie Nelson 20 Golden Classics 12” vinyl Picture Disc with a bid starting at $1.63. If you miss that one, there’s tonnnns of other awesome Willie vinyl collectibles. You can thank me later.
