Filmler
"Let the Right One In" is the best film of 2008 IMHO ... otherwise? ... "Pan's Labyrinth" And anything else produced by Guillermo del Toro (Especially "Hellboy 2" which I think is a visual masterpiece); also the following: "Amelie"; "Funny Games" (the original, Austrian, 1998 release); "Transformers" (cause it's funny as shit and Megan Fox is sex incarnate); also, any Marvel Comic film remake, no matter how bad; The Jackson directed Lord of the Rings films; "Taxi Driver"; "16 Candles"; "Breakfast Club"; etc.
Televizyon
...
Firefly, Jackass, uh ... not much else lately.
Kitaplar
Plato: The Republic; Larouche: "So You Wish to Learn about Economics?" (and) anything else by Lyndon LaRouche. You know, he IS RIGHT, afterall, don't you? Bukowski, Raymond Carver, Hess, Chekhov, Percy Bess Shelley
Th3 G0dz of V1c70ry(tm) is floating along to a Brian Eno track. And he's starting to think there's more to "that ambient thing" than he otherwise thought. Cumartesi devamı
Gods of Victory(tm) Audio: The Gods of Victory (aka G.o.V.) is the pseudonym which I publish my low-fi four track recordings under; well, more accurately ... they are not all four track songs. Some are old live recordings ... some are studio stuff ... and, generally, over the past 15 years or so ... there's been a variety of players other than myself involved in the G.0.v. legacy ... (not always going by that name mind you) ... (in general, I'm the guy singing or playing harmonica). We started out playing obviously Black Sabbath inspired riff rock then quickly (strangely enough) became completely enamored of the whole nineties alt-country explosion. Such wild and careening leanings should be obvious enough in the following playlist.
Always free. Always gay and uplifting! Listen at your own risk...

Gods of Victory(tm) Video Rantz:
One of my fav things to do is edit video. Runs a close second to writing original music. Therefore, it's appropriate to say that video content works really well with my original music. Sort of a syllogism, really, that statement. LMAO! Anyway, here's a few of my recent original tracks as illustrated via video:
...
"Stained and Decorated" :
Don't be fooled. This is definitely not current-day g.0.v.! music. Myself and some good buds wrote this song back when we had aspirations of being the next big, stinking and unkempt alt-rock sensation in the mid to late 90's. Was a fun time. This entire song was recorded live and in one take. One of the funnest recording sessions I can remember. I'm singing. The skaters are borrowed content.
...
"Strange Way" :
An original Gods of Victory song (circa 2004 or so); this is one of my personal fav bits of song and video that I've done since it was written as a simple and truthful testimonial to the times and places I've known over the years. All video content was shot by myself and is from various of my haunts around Texas ...
...
"Scars Up On My Mantle" :
This is a song I wrote about getting beat up ... about getting the living shit kicked out of me. Nothing more. Nothing less.
...
"J.C. Symbolic" :
This is something I wrote on a whim a few years ago. It's a stripped down acoustic rant dedicated to one of my favorite authors/philosophers/historians, Joseph Campbell. In the song, I meander on a bit about the archetypal hero's quest and otherwise talk a bit about my love for J.C. his own damn self (R.I.P.).
Some Home Video:
This is just random video I've shot; surf trips; old friends/flames/enemies; skateboarding ditches or downtown garages; surfing; manual labor job footage; local Houston stuff; not necessarily including my original audio, though. Generally, the music is borrowed from my fav bands; all artists are most prominently credited within/at the end of each video.
...
As the titles will make clear, this is perhaps one of the most beautiful live music moments I've ever randomly been able to shoot; it's Centro-Matic doing an insanely haunting and powerful "acoustic" set at a little club called, "The Continental" ... in Houston ... back in 2001 or so. Sublime. (published with permission from Undertow Records)
...
This was shot around 1998 or so, it's your very own g.0.v.! front man chasing gals of the bovine persuasion down on Matagorda Beach (TX). This is what we invariably end up occupying ourselves with when driving to the beach to find that there is no surf. Don't knock it till you've tried it fuckers.

Kimle tanışmak isterim:
Nobody.
I'm my own biggest fan.
Okay, damnit ...
Honestly? ...
Maybe just PJ Harvey, but then again, she's pretty far off, being a "rock star" and all ... and I'd most likely have a hard time not wanting to molest her or chain her to my four track ... or perhaps, have her bind my hands and legs with duct tape, and somehow convince her to then *DEMAND* that I sing, "Kingdom of Love" ...
All of which would, undoubtedly, raise the eyebrows of many a local criminal/pathological profiler ... so I digress.
LMFAO!
:-)
But, in a pinch?
Micheal Stipe at the utmost. He's a true God of Victory in my most humble of estimations. Just see THIS VID, if you don't believe me. King of Birds, FTW!
Maybe Natalie Merchant, as well ... she has a charming knack for sweet melodies and rather non-pretentious meanderings (in song) that I've always found enchanting ...
(Kings and Queens all of them...)
;-)
Your buddies seem to have a fun band there. The title reminded us of a song that we love, "Acoholiday," by some guys we wish were our buddies, Teenage Fanclub.
Sorry, just wanna your attention LOL! But I'm not feeling that bad anymore as an hour ago. A little bit of food poison I think But thanks for asking.
But sleeping on your head?? You always have stupid things. Did you already bought your bottle of Vodka for the weekend? It can help against the pain (in case you didn't know yourself )
OOOOOH man its been a hot minute since I popped by!! Okay, first off, thank you for the awesomest comment ever about adopting me! LOL I had no idea my song could move you in such ways! :D What's really cool about my lyrics you left in the comment is that I knew someone would notice that and def point that out to me. I was writing the lyrics and I thought, "man, someone is bound to say somthing about that for the better or the worse." And Im glad you caught it in a good way. Lets just hope all of those who were in that war shed some mad mercy on my bones. lol maybe it will move them? nah, maybe not. Anyway, I meant no harm. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I would like to say that I am madd thankfull for you Joel! Im thankfull for the random videos that you send. SPEAKING OF WHICH, so that Bastard Fairys song you left on my page was stuck in my head for weeks and weeks. You think Im joking? 3:am, Im outside at a friends house and out of no where I hear "all you preachers who like fucking, you are going to hell." Im going to blame you for that good sir. It had been forever since I heard that song, and once again, my mind absorbed it as minds usually do. *sigh* Thank you for finding your way into my life, even if it is over myspace. God said, "Let there be myspace" and Tom was sent to the earth to bring us together through kick ass tunes. :D
Have an amazing Thanksgiving. Don't go easy on that turkey either, last time I talked to the turkeys they had this plan to take over humanity. So go right on ahead and nibble on that leg :)
Yes, you gotta love those respectful audiences. Okay, so I just looked all over for a song that I was going to share, but a full version of it is not available from what I can tell. (And it's only 1:36 minutes long!). The pernice made me think of it. Just a gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous song that you should check out called, "All The Cocaine in The World" by The Webb Brothers. Incredibly beautiful and worth checkin' out. Think you'll like it. JOSH
Shared this video with D.Richards and a couple of other folks, and thought that you might appreciate it as much (if not more...since we are closer in age).
you're welcome. they from Belgium. the band no longer exist under the name Moondog Jr. they are called now Zita Swoon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moondog_Jr. which I'm going to see next month in PARADISO
Hi, Glad to know you're doing ok! All that activity would probably kill me. So would being healthy. I'm pretty sure I've drank enough to preserve everything else.LOL. Hugs and have a great week.. I've had to change my menu a little to adjust to the heart health. Basically its cut out the salt, the sugar and the fried. Boring! Hugs, M
Just chillin', Joel. I head back to work on Monday. I talked to Scott yesterday and he said he picked up some good water time at Surfside last week. The storm kicked up some overhead waves before it moved ashore.
HEY! Long time no hear from you. I use the chocolate chip cookies to soak up the vodka..LOL. And when the vodka is gone.. you get the munchies and you'll want my cookies... Don't be such a stranger my friend. Hugs, M
Online!
But thanks for asking.
