Tumble-B(inks)

Shirts, photos, blah and blah

So, if you buy/receive one of my shirts, let me know. “How will I let Zachary know?” you might be asking yourself. Perhaps you might also be asking, “Are Americans really so lazy that they needed to make Goober Grape?”

Well, I can’t tell you the answer to the philosophical conundrum posed in the 2nd question, but I can enlighten you on the first.

0. Buy one of my shirts http://www.districtlines.com/zacharyxbinks

1. Take a photo of you wearing the BINKS shirt or either fierce cat ones.

2. E-mail that photo to ZacharyLovesYou@msn.com with your personal youtube/myspace/twitter/whatever else you have links and urls

3. I will take your photo and add it to a super special myspace album and give you mad love (MAD I SAY)

4. You will be tagged the eff out of, and everyone will marvel at how much more attractive you look in one of my shirts.

p.s. when I say “mad love” I imagine somebody with lips for fists that has to punch people to kiss them.

UNCLE ZACK'S CRAN-OR-BER-ANGE QUICK BREAD

***UNCLE ZACK’S CRAN-OR-BER-ANGE QUICK BREAD***

* First off, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F

* 2 cups all-purpose f-f-flour

* 3/4 cup sugar

* 1/2 cup brown sugar (aka B. Sugar, B. Shugz, or B. Babay Brown)

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (not to be confused with diet soda)

* 1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces, plus extra to rub (or brush) for de-sticking your pans

* 1 orange (zest, and then save the rest for cutting up and mixing in!)

* 3/4 cup fresh orange juice

* 1 egg

* 1 cup dried cranberries

* Equipment: 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, or several muffin tins, both, whatever

TO COOK:
* Make a dry mix (butter, salt, bakingpowder, sugar) and kneed/mix together as thoroughly as possible.

* Add wet ingredients (orange juice, egg, blah blah) and go to town with a blender or food processor.

* Bake until golden brown. Stab with a toothpick to test.

*If the toothpick is clean, BOOM, you’re done.

*If it comes out gooey or messy, cook that bad boy some more!

Wait 20 minutes to cool, and serve everyone or eat all of it because it’s so friggin’ tasty.

This is what an affinity for Christmas time, a vocal range that’s too low, a martin guitar, and Garage Band will get you. Mwap.

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

So, I want to perform a Christmas song for the season. I think I want to do “Silent Night”. Here’s about the style I want to perform it in. This track was done in one take, vocals and guitar on the same track, no editing, and no re-recording, so it’s rough on some notes, but this is still the bare-bones-y feel I want for it. Feedback? Thoughts? Terrible mistake?

Here’s another little ‘extra’ for you guys: Imogen Heap’s “Hide And Seek”… In French. It’s just the chorus, though, not the whole song. I did this for Nanalew way back when, and it was a really fast job, but it was really fun+I love any excuse to speak/sing in French. (Kind of a quiet recording, so you’ll probably have to turn it up a bit) Au revoir!

So, here’s a bleepy-bloopy remix of the original “Drinking Song”.

Can’t really say whyyy I made this, but hey! Turn up your volume and put on your dancing shoes.

(lyrics and all of that junk below in the previous post)

So, this is a song I made a few years back.

I wrote it when, at the time, I was dating this girl who was getting really into drinking and things like that, and she was starting to lose me in the process.

Anyway, I let John hear this song once, and he really wanted me to re-record it. So in the span of half an hour or so, (it’s 2:38 in the morning now) I made this hokey recording, and didn’t really go back to make anything fancy. The vocals are super shaky, it gets off tempo at parts, and the guitar playing is wonky. It’s a song that I wrote when I was younger, in a different place, with different feelings, so don’t take it to heart so much.

You guys always appreciate extras like this, so enjoy.

You know I hate the DMV
I hate the tired way you stare at me
I’ll walk you to the kitchen sink
But I don’t like the way you talk when you drink

So maybe, baby
You could learn to put the bottle down
And maybe, baby
I’ll try to wake you when I leave town

I’ll always love the way you sing
I love the way you fall asleep on me
I know you’ll write if we’re appart
I love you even when you break my heart

We don’t talk so much these days
You’ve spent a year without seeing my face
I hope you’re happy where you are
So please forgive me when I break your heart
