Bible study...
Homework week has been great fun and I've spent a lot of time on the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Bitesize site which helps kids revise. I figured it might help me with my 'marking'. As I failed to get to grips with the concept of Pi then I think I need to do a lot more reading. Mind you if tomorrow's subject is religious Education then I'm going to have to do some serious cramming overnight.
According to the Bitesize website, ÌýRE now covers topics such as god, death, human relationships, poverty and wealth, prejudice and discrimination, religion, science and the environment, sanctity of life and war and peace. A bit like Bob Dylan I suppose.
Whether it's Noah and The Whale or Genesis that you fancy hearing then get your final batch of homework in for tomorrow...

There really will be a resurrection if Tony Ashton and Kim Gardner ever get together with Roy Dyke to perform this. Good show opener, opens the second episode of the henri hannah radio show (it's on a Sunday)
I Don't Believe In Miracles - Colin Blunstone
I Don't Believe In You - Talk Talk
I think this is one of the most delightful pieces of recorded music ever made - breathtakingly controlled and beautifully put together from one of the world's best kept secrets, 'The Colour Of Spring' album. Ironically,it comes at you out of the ether, straight from heaven. Matched only by a track on the later Spirit Of Eden album called 'I Believe In You'
and if ever there was a night for Dreadzone...with all their spiritual positivity, this has to be it..the early Dreadzone had Melanie Blatt, Denise Van Outen and Alison Goldfrapp as backing singers. I suppose Walk Tall is a reasonably untypical Dreadzone track (mellow and radio friendly) but it deals with hope, aspiration and the concept of the resurrection of the soul.It begins with the singer awaiting a signal from his God...'she makes me wait' he sings...how does he know? About the triumph of hope over circumstance, an anthem for the times we find ourselves in.

I kind of get round to believeing in God when I'm on a plane but otherwise pretty agnostic - but you could feel the choir move the spirit.
Andrae Crouch (who wrote Man In The Mirror with Michael Jackson) & The Disciples : 'Jesus Is Lord' or 'Praises'
You Got To Love - Candi Staton the only version worth hearing
There's also some great religious music:
Benedictus - Karl Jenkins .. this time start at 2:36 and we'll get to hear the great choir at the end of the track.

There aren't good enough superlatives really, though people didn't seem as out of it as they were in 96 and the volume didn't seem so loud this time - though it was still a fair old racket. The light show was amazing. I thought Space Shanty was the track of the night.
