If you thought this site was no more; if you thought it had ceased to be, had kicked the bucket, gone on to blog-pasture, or was pushing up eDaisies - consider your bad self wrong. Because as of right now, America, this page is officially UNDEAD.

In general, the more time &#38; work you&#8217;re willing to put in yourself, the more money you&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it took about a month longer than I meant it to, but just got my second video up - my solo bass take on Jamiroquai&#8217;s &#8220;Dynamite&#8221;. Everything&#8217;s recorded live, w/no overdubs, thanks to the help of my Boss RC-50 loop machine. Anyway, hope you dig it, and I&#8217;d love to hear what y&#8217;all think!

		<description><![CDATA[I thought today, in honor of the Fourth of July, I&#8217;d post one of my all-time favorite poems and, in my mind, one of the more patriotic things I&#8217;ve ever laid eyes upon. From his collection Howl and Other Poems, I give you Allen Ginsberg&#8217;s incredible &#8220;America&#8221;:

America I&#8217;ve given you all and now I&#8217;m nothing.

Alright, alright, so the &#8220;weekly&#8221; aspect of these things isn&#8217;t quite working out like I&#8217;d hoped&#8230; I admit it. In my defense, though, this isn&#8217;t necessarily due to falling behind on my &#8220;reading a book a week&#8221; pledge; it&#8217;s more that I&#8217;m just takin so darned long with my reviews! I&#8217;ve been reading about a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For my first book of the Summer, I decided to read  A Fraction of the Whole, the amazing debut novel by Australian author Steve Toltz. I&#8217;ll admit straightaway that I picked up the book almost entirely due to the review on its cover from the Wall Street Journal - which states that Toltz&#8217;s book &#8220;deserves a [...]]]></description>

you must find time for reading,
or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.

I gotta say, aside from all the small things like health, happiness and general productivity, the coming of Summer has meant the return of one particular, and one majorly important, thing for me:
 
READING.

All recorded live, w/ no overdubs, and a little loopyness towards the end, courtesy of my RC-50 loop station. Now that I&#8217;ve got the process down, I&#8217;ll hopefully be gettin a few more of these up here later [...]]]></description>

[Zach's first thought yesterday morning: Holy smokes! It's June already?!? WTF?!]


Wow. I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been two whole months already since I made this thing, and moreover, I really can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been about six weeks since my last post! I know I&#8217;ve been a horribly negligent blogger later, and I&#8217;m fully aware of what a tease [...]]]></description>
