Revolution is in the air again in Boston. Not content with the seditious act of adding tea to water, Viva La Revo-UKE-tion will be kicking off on Monday with the fantastically named The East Boston Make-Out Club Band, the equally fantastic but more boringly named Michael Wagner, Ed White and Ian Schwartz. All you non-Massachusettsians can check out TEBMOCB’s Davina Yannetty on next week’s edition of MUD. EDIT: I’ve been chided for failing to mention that they’re raffling off a homemade uke.

Win yourself a Bushman ukulele. All you have to do to enter is upload a video of you playing ukulele to YouTube and mention the competition at the beginning of the video. Have a go if you think you can beat this.

Old Blue Bus has mp3s of Miss Ada Powers on the uke and her family.

How do you stop feedback from an ukulele pickup?

    Uh… on the Nalts ukulele freak video thing you asked, I just wanted to say that it was a little joke on the Nalts song I wrote for him back in September. Yeah… I hope that helped.
