Colin Vearncombe aka Black

One of the great musicians from the 1980’s, Colin Vearncombe, has released an album of new material for free on his website. Colin, who sometimes goes by “Black” might be best known mostly due to his 80’s hits “Wonderful Life” and “Everything Is Coming Up Roses”. He is, in my opinion, one of the most overlooked talents still producing work.

Why Colin isn’t a hugely popular music star is a mystery to me. I can only attribute his lack of commercial appeal to the dismal musical tastes of the general music listener.

The collection of new music by Colin has been gathered in an album titled, appropriately enough, “The Given”. This music can be had for free downloading but I really hope everyone who enjoys Mr. Vearncombe’s music will donate for this privilege.

REUTERS Yefimov 'survived not because of Stalin's generosity of soul, but because his talents as a cartoonist' Wed Oct 1, 4:38 PM ET MOSCOW - Celebrated political cartoonist Boris Yefimov, who drew brutally satirical images of the Soviet Union's foes in the service of Josef Stalin, died Wednesday. He was 108. Yefimov's death was given wide coverage on Russian state television. No cause was given. His cartoons spanned virtually the entire history of the communist state, from shortly after the 1917 revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Among his most memorable drawings was one showing a wretched-looking Hitler, who is said to have ordered Yefimov shot if the Nazis captured Moscow in World War II. Instead, Yefimov was sent after the war to the Nuremburg trials to draw the Nazis as they faced justice. Yefimov also turned his pen against the United States. His Cold War drawings po...
