Web Stats 08 & News

2009-03-15T21:34:00.001-07:00

Luckily, about a week or two before the server of our former webhost crashed, I took the above snapshot of our stats page, leaving us at least the bulk of our stats from 2008:

17,173 visitors,

having downloaded

212.60 GB of data, equalling roughly 50,000 songs,

given the average size of the mp3 files downloadable from our sites.

After the hack attack on our web sites from January, I decided to revamp them & I reckon you've seen the result.

Changes are good for us.

Now all it takes is spring to finally hit this corner of the world...

Although I initially thought that "Good Day to Die" might be a good title to call it quits and stop producing music for the world for free, it so happened that inspiration didn't quite yet ease up on me, and thus the world will have to put up with a few more songs that tell them what they don't want to hear...

Since "Farewell Mr. President," 3 new songs (in English) have seen the light of day which - as usual - I'm ready to share with the world.

First there was the Christmas tune "Immanuel" that already decorated our website audibly during the Christmas season.

Then there was this old tune in Italian by G.F.Haendel that's been haunting me for years (my mother used to sing it), but it turns out to be a love song to a tree. Since I'm into worshiping the Creator rather than the creation, I was delighted to find an alternative version of the lyrics in Italian, which I roughly translated into English and Spanish:

Largo

(fiddle by our dear friend Sabine)

Finally, my apology to the world for all the times I stuck my foot in my mouth with my bizarre sense of humor:

Not a Sermon, But a Sample.

With all the best intentions for the new year to be a good boy,

yours truly.

Join Us On "Farewell Mr. President!"

2008-10-31T07:23:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. Here’s a song I wrote and recorded this week in order to get some things off of my chest about the man who will probably go down in history as the man who gave Christendom’s image in the world the final blow, furthering the cause of those who say that the world would be better off without it or any faith for that matter.

Regardless of religious convictions, though, I would like to invite anyone around the world who happens to be able to identify with its content and message of this song, to join in on it.

All you need is a webcam or a headset with a mic and sing along with the song, record it and mail me (Dave.Mendoza@gmail.com) the clip, and you’ll be included in an extended version of the song & video.

Although I’m referring to the chorus of the song in particular, which should be fairly easy to sing along to, if there’s a particular line in the song you like, you can also sing that one, although I can’t promise to include the audio, depending on the quality. (That applies only to the verses. All contributed audios will be included on the chorus, providing they’re half-way in tune.)

Since this leader’s politics have affected citizens from just about any nation on this planet, your contribution will be added regardless of nationality.

Looking forward to making a racket with you,

Dave

Song Lyrics:

Farewell Mr. President

This is a song for you, though it’s a song you’ll never hear

The man who’s wrecked & ruled “the greatest nation on God’s earth” for 8 long years

Oblivious to the facts, oblivious to how it feels to have lost a son in Iraq

for some greedy, old men’s petrol deals

I wonder who’ll wipe off that grin from your mischievous monkey face

You’re wading knee-deep in your sins, the blood of thousands on your hands

Of all the hypocrites I’ve seen you were the one that takes the cake

Farewell, Mr. President!

You sure fulfilled your daddy’s dreams: that New World Order’s rolling in

Cause, after all, what have you been than a mere puppet to their schemes?

And best of all, you’ve done it all in the Name of the One you hate

Cause you were taught not to repeat the one mistake your daddy made

The hypocrites fell for you the way that brand of people do

But me, I see right through your wicked smirk, oh, yes, I do

Farewell, Mr. President!

So now you’re leaving with a bang, the way that big-shot people do

to leave another man to hang in the place you have left him to

I suppose history will show what you did, who you were for real

Perhaps our grandchildren will know what all you schemers now conceal

But in a long, black list of fools, I think you’ll be and always will

the most pathetic one to me

Farewell, Mr. President!

War is your game, war has been your creed

Though it’s sure as hell not you who fight, no you let other people bleed

The wind you have sown, the storm you will reap

So, come on get down off your thrown, make room for yet another creep

“We won’t get fooled again,” is that what we really believed?

But then we’ll believe anything, anything - you screwed us over in our sleep

Farewell, Mr. President!

(So long, farewell, Goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen)

Sure had us fooled again

(Bye Bye, Miss American Pie)

Farewell, Mr. President!

(So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu)

Please, don’t come around again

(Bye Bye, Miss American Pie)

Farewell, Mr. President!

Good to see you leave again

Good Day to Die

A couple of new tunes have emerged from McDozer's sound kitchen in recent weeks:

Since the last post (of this sort), the following songs have been produced & can be downloaded:

Yearn - I guess another one of those church people would call "worship" songs, and we simply call, "Loving Jesus" songs...

Freedom (We Are The Ones) - McDozer's weirdness in its full perfection

Gimme Truth - I just had to make that sort of public statement that that's what I'm after...

(Unfortunately, the video didn't come out all that hot... but what the heck...)

In Thy Skirts - One day I just came up with that lick, & I had just been watching an interview with German film maker Fritz Poppenberg, whose next project is going to be a documentary on abortion... and well, out came this song, the recording of which we also preserved for the YouTube community...

Sum of the Parts is another "Loving Jesus" tune, which I just recorded yesterday, along with

Soul Murder, a song I felt inspired to write after having been on someone's website who (in my opinion, rightly) termed public school "soul murder."

The Deeper Meaning of Everything

2008-06-05T05:31:00.000-07:00

Some time ago I started working on a project called “The Deeper Meaning of Everything,” a sort of open eBook project (possibly including additional future input from contributors), basically a conglomeration of notes & thoughts about how the things we encounter in every day life and in creation have a deeper meaning behind them, a message from God to us, that we just have to open our senses in order to perceive…

Since it’s intended to become an open, growing and progressing project (with no end in sight, necessarily, since the things we learn from life, I believe, are also intended to go on forever), I’ve decided to go ahead an post it in its current, incomplete state (I’m including tons of web links in the book, and I’m just about half-way through with that), instead of waiting for any state comparable to completion.

As you can tell by the raw state of some or many of my songs available for download, I’d rather have people benefit from my productions sooner than wait until they’re “perfect” or good enough to pat myself on the back. I’m not as interested in showing off what I can do as I am in getting out the message I believe my songs are merely a vessel or frame for.

A few months after starting to work on the project, I also got the inspiration for another, similar project, only dealing with the things we can learn from the folks and characters in the Bible, and although this project is not yet finished, either, I also decided to post (or publish) it in its raw state, since references to it are being made in “The Deeper Meaning of Everything.”

So, for whatever it’s worth, I humbly present my six pence’s worth of wisdom on “The Deeper Meaning of Everything” and “Things We Can Learn from Folks in the Bible.” Since most of the insight shared in these projects isn’t just based on my own trying to put 2 and 2 together, but is rather a result of my personal walk with the Lord, as documented in some of the featured “input” from Him in those documents, I believe that there just might be someone out there in the land of World Wide Web who might benefit from them.

New Songs

2008-04-23T13:11:00.000-07:00

We kept up our productivity over the past weeks & recorded the following songs:

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, a stompy tune to remind everyone that there is a God & He love you,

DEPENDING ON YOU, for the ballad lovers, & somewhere in-between the two,

SOMETIMES.

Apart from that, we've been re-recording some old Family tunes like:

What Did Jesus Do

Walking All Alone

and some new German & Spanish stuff...

This month I re-recorded 2 oldie-goldies of mine:

Also got this wild idea for a Salvation Rap

Finally, as a starter fro a compilation project I'll call "Soul Savers," I recorded an old goldie from the old "Songs That Made the Revolution: "How Long You Been Waiting"

By the way, is there anybody out there who also thinks that MySpace.com kinda sucks?
There are much neater web platforms coming up, in my opinion, like for instance:

Better Place Another tune expressing my sentiments on patriotism (see Hebrews 11).

Focus Song about focusing on the Essential, away from the plentiful distractions that besiege us daily.

God of Love Life's been hell for you? For me, too. BUT...

MENDO' GO WEST NO MO'!

2007-11-12T03:27:00.000-08:00

From 2008 on, the international Country & Blues-Rock formation Cesar & Go West
will have to do without their rhythm guitarist and more-than-backup-vocalist for 15 years.

Since the world, both politically, morally and culturally is rapidly developing into a place desperately crying for more than mere entertainment, McDozer has determined to put a larger emphasis on his own song material and what he feels to be his personal calling, which is more than an entertainer or even a musician.

So far, Gigs with the trio Common Ground may still happen, although the demand for this more "serious" type of music has also been rather disappointing.
