Virgin Black "Our Wings are Burning"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWOPrtKMmP0

This is a band i've been listening to from the very beginning of their existence. Very unique - kind of progressive goth metal.



Trouble - The Skull
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl3iimCnFOs

This is THE BEST SONG ever written about the suffering & death of Jesus of Nazareth - by doom metal band Trouble. It's been put to scenes from THE BEST MOVIE ever made about Jesus of Nazareth - The Passion of the Christ. The innocent Jesus died for us, in our place, so that we could have peace with our Maker. Praise be to His Name!



Matisyahu - King Without A Crown
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XMpmpblpgM

Matisyahu King Without A Crown (C) 2005 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT

Brilliant song by Matisyahu!



Rez Band - Military Man (Live 1992)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDESoLnYui8

Just found out that Resurrection Band (one of my all-time fav hard 'n' heavy bands) is reuniting for Easterfest 2010. How cool is that!

Who I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet anyone who has a genuine desire to communicate. I'm especially interested in communicating with artists/bands who would like to have some of their songs referenced in my ever-expanding contemporary music resources. (See my blog entitled 'My Offer to Artists and Bands' for further information about this.)

    Today's Bible Verse is...

    Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his
    ways,
    for the LORD detests a perverse man but takes the upright into his
    confidence.

    Alphabet of Happiness...
    A--Accept
    Accept others for who they are and for the choices they've made even if you have difficulty understanding their beliefs, motives, or actions.
    B--Break Away
    Break away from everything that stands in the way of what you hope to accomplish with your life.
    C--Create
    Create a family of friends whom you can share your hopes, dreams, sorrows, and happiness with.
    D--Decide
    Decide that you'll be successful and happy come what may, and good things will find you. The roadblocks are only minor obstacles along the way.
    E--Explore
    Explore and experiment. The world has much to offer, and you have much to give. And every time you try something new, you'll learn more about yourself.
    F--Forgive
    Forgive and forget. Grudges only weigh you down and inspire unhappiness and grief. Soar above it, and remember that everyone makes mistakes.
    G--Grow
    Leave the childhood monsters behind. They can no longer hurt you or stand in your way.
    H--Hope
    Hope for the best and never forget that anything is possible as long as you remain dedicated to the task.
    I--Ignore
    Ignore the negative voice inside your head. Focus instead on your goals and remember your accomplishments. Your past success is only a small inkling of what the future holds.
    J--Journey
    Journey to new worlds, new possibilities, by remaining open-minded. Try to learn something new every day, and you'll grow.
    K--Know
    Know that no matter how bad things seem, they'll always get better. The warmth of spring always follows the harshest winter.
    L--Love
    Let love fill your heart instead of hate. When hate is in your heart, there's room for nothing else, but when love is in your heart, there's room for endless happiness.
    M--Manage
    Manage your time and your expenses wisely, and you'll suffer less stress and worry. Then you'll be able to focus on the important things in life.
    N--Notice
    Never ignore the poor,

    David Benson's Music available through the following online retailers!





    "If Ozzy ever needsa ghostsinger, it should be  David Benson"

    - Horst Franz , HEAVY Magazine, Germany



    "Sounds like a good mix of Old School Doom inspired by Black Sabbath

    with a mix of modern influence and heavy stuff. The singer could be Ozzy's

    Brother!"

    -Alexander Rack, President of Black Sabbath Fan Club, Germany



    "Two studio recordings I heard truly do evoke the Oz-man. 'Bout time someone did it proper!"

    G'day Guys,

    We're trying to get the final showcase slot at the 'Big Sound' Summit in Brisbane this September. They're offering the final slot to one act on Triple J's Unearthed, so if you like our music we have decided to give a free download @
    http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/View.aspx?artistid=14312 or just click on the banner below. And we ask you in return if you can rate & leave a review of our tunes as these two things are what they will be looking at when deciding.
    We'd really appreciate it!

    Thanx so much,

    Dave & The Boys.

    Rate us on triple j Unearthed!
