Black released the compilation 'Any colour you like' today. It's a compilation of music he created after the initial success of his Eighties music drifted away. Black a.k.a. Colin Vearncombe is, of course, best known for 'Wonderful life', released in 1987, but he never stopped making music. His songs were less chart-friendly, but the melodies and beautiful vocals are always there. The 16 track compilation features haunting ballads as well as aggressive rock tracks, and even a new recording of that career-defining hit, 'Wonderful life'.

The video includes news footage of that weekend. The riots started after a man called Mark Duggan was killed by the police on Thursday in Tottenham. An independent police complaints commission revealed that he didn't actually shoot before he was shot. Then the family was not handled well, which led to a protest which turned to a riot. Then in other places people realised they could riot and loot without being caught, which turned into massive riots of people stealing expensive goods from shops 'because they could'.

The movie features Kim Wilde in one of the scenes, as well as her brother Rick and her niece Scarlett. The story centres around two DJ's who try to earn some extra cash by selling drugs. Of course they get tangled up in a world they shouldn't be part of...

The duet version was actually recorded some time ago and was already announced when the previously mentioned single was released.

The track can be downloaded from Bandcamp and iTunes.

The website launched at www.theirlaw.com today. It outlines the story of the movie, introduces cast and crew and also contains an interesting production blog which will be updated regularly.

'Their law' follows up Sean's debut film 'Shoot the DJ' which will see a commercial DVD release in the UK this summer, and which had a small appearance by Rick and Kim Wilde. The trailer for this new movie shows that Rick may appear in this movie as well.

Stereoblonde’s new single 'Sweetest of all darlings' is a homage to Kim Wilde: 'The joy, the pain, the fun, the tears, we shared a lot over the years. So many loved ones gone for good, but you never let me down'. This quote is taken from the second verse of the song and underlines the deep connection between the two women.

Rio is a 3D motion picture from Blue Sky Studios, the makers of the “Ice Age” films.  The comedy-adventure centres on Blu, a rare macaw who leaves the comforts of his cage in small town Minnesota for the exotic wonders of Rio de Janeiro.  But Blu’s new life and adventures in Rio are complicated by the fact that he can’t fly. Lucky for Blu, his new menagerie of friends are ready to help him find his inner-hero – and teach him what it really means to soar.

According to articles in the UK press, Mark Weir was piloting a helicopter when it crashed shortly before 1am yesterday. He'd left his slate mine in his helicopter just after 7pm on Tuesday following a day’s work. When he failed to return to his home, at Mosser, near Cockermouth, his wife and the mother of his three children alerted the emergency services around 10.10pm. Police worked alongside mountain rescue teams and search dogs to comb the area, helped by a helicopter from RAF Kinloss in Scotland.

Mick Karn died on 4.30pm at his home in Chelsea, London, surrounded by his family and friends. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer in June last year. 

Karn will be remembered by Kim Wilde fans for his contribution to the track 'Try again' on the album 'Love is' (1992). Ten years previous, his single 'Sensitive' was produced and co-arranged by Ricky Wilde.

It was revealed earlier this week that the song was sung by producer Lou Deprijck. The punk track was a worldwide hit in 1977. In 2006, Plastic Bertrand actually won a lawsuit against Deprijck, who wanted to acquire the rights tot the song.
