About Benjamin Blower

Hey, I'm Benjamin Blower,

Babylon is Dead. Come out while you can.

I got my guitar third-hand. Haven't changed the strings for, must be ten years now. I don't really play it, I knock it about and yell. It's been signed by a guy from The Cure. If anyone wants to buy it off me, I'm listening.

I got hit by a bus once - it's the truth. Hit me in the head - the ear. It still works fine, and my head is ok, except that now I can get a little tourettes-ish if don't get a few hours alone each day.

I'm God-fearing. I fear God like you fear Niagra Falls when you get close up.

One time I dreamed I went to heaven, where I fell asleep on a snooker table. It was real nice. A full-size snooker table is always bigger than you think.

My new album Pillar of Smoke is out September 1st 2008

In the meantime, download my Babylon is Dead EP down below here..

See you soon x

Selina Blakeney	Jun 11 2008 9:30 AM Hey Dave, Thanks for the tip-off. It's ever so sweet and lovely :) It reminds me of a lot of the stuff you put on that really good compilation c.d for me a little while back. I still haven't bought you that Devotchka album! Dang :..
Guardians of the Ancient Wisdom	Jun 11 2008 12:53 AM Benjamin finally came and listened to your music shit it's unique, got any live shows? peace madam blah
I Have Clones	Jun 10 2008 3:02 PM Hey, I've just uploaded two new tunes! One is called 'She Chose Chav' and the other 'A Curious Disease' I'd really, really love to know what you think! =) Thanks so much! Robx
RONNIE	Jun 8 2008 2:43 AM So man, is the new album gonna be chilled like "why should you", or more like the raining glass and tears/babylon is dead stuff? Or maybe a mix? I definately need some more offensive, thought provoking stuff.
Agoostus	Jun 4 2008 12:38 PM hey I like the feel of "why should you..."
Y ! N G	Jun 4 2008 4:53 AM Thanks for the add :) Dont forget to be nice to bunnies!!!
DOQTRESS	Jun 1 2008 11:53 AM ooo curly wurlies.. did you get any in le end! && I'm quicker than you, I've downloaded your gracious sex of sexy tunes. Now I want more How are you curly Benja-minion? xxx
Keith	May 31 2008 3:32 AM Mate that'd be awesome if you did. I'm in bristol working till the 20th of sept but if you do come down or are around let me know. It's still early days yet but we're hearing a lot of stuff about people traffic and prostitution. We've got some things in the Pipeline so it'll be interesting to see if they go anywhere. We've heard of places changing when people get serious about stuff like prayer and fasting etc. and things are happening which I wasn't expecting.. but that sucks to hear about your mates in Brighton man. I'll have a look into some of those books you mentioned, I think I've heard of the imitation of Christ somewhere before. I've got a few on the go too, "life together" by dietrich bonhoffer is probably the one I'm getting the most out of though, the fact it's the smallest book helps I think.. Good news on the album front mate, hope that all goes to plan. Be good to hear some more! Grace and peace, Ben God bless!

Richard Kavanagh	May 25 2008 5:53 AM benjamin. hello! thanks for the comment and add, well appreciated. i like your make-and-do approach to CDs, good sequence of photos. take it easy byeeee
Keith	May 24 2008 5:54 AM Its not too bad. Me and a few mates have somehow ended up making a bit of a house church / Christian community off the back of our involvement in the nightclubs and nightlife down in Bournemouth. Between us we got our fingers in a few pies so we're exploring where that could go and what could happen at the moment. We do some events every so often in town but we're wanting to a bit more now.. trying find out what's tying our town down, it's mostly drugs and prostitution tho so we're just sort of.. praying about that at the mo. Thats a pretty broad range of books you got going on, which ones are you getting the most of out of you reckon? They all sound pretty interesting, I've heard of a few of them. I finish off next week.. then I've got a month off but after that I start work up in London for a web design group. Thinking tho after I graduate I might want to freelance for a bit.. God bless mate, it's good to hear from you again.
Keith	May 23 2008 4:19 AM Mate, hows life? Long time no speak. Hope your good, be great to hear from you sometime.
Waler	May 22 2008 12:11 PM Oh Benjamin you legend! Thanks so much for doing that, has helped us immenseley. Can pop round tomorrow to pick it up if you like, just let me know when's best for you.
