FRIDAY FEEDBACK: DURAN DURAN

Five and the Ragged Tiger

This week's Friday Feedback track is:

"Nite Runner" by Duran Duran feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland
from the forthcoming LP Red Carpet Massacre

This new Duran Duran album track is the result of yet another not-yet-ubiquitous-enough Timberlake/Timbo combo. Andy Taylor, the band's original guitarist, left before collaborating with the Tims; I'm guessing Andy was more of a Backstreet Boys fan.

Does Duran Duran's collabo with Timbaland reek of desperation? Do you suspect Nelly Furtado passed on this beat? Do you enjoy Simon Le Bon's obsession with people who jog in the evening? Are you too busy to comment because you're still trying to figure out the meaning to "The Reflex"?

Discuss below.
