Pineapples and kiwis not to your taste? How’s about a watermelon ukulele from Kala? Another seller thinning their collection, this time in the UK. Current picks include an adorable Gibson banjo-uke and a decorative Favilla with suspiciously blurry photos. Plenty of stars put their name and face on a plastic ukulele, but Jimmy Durante? (Net […]

Not a great deal to report on this week. Aldrine is doing live ukulele lessons. If you missed the first one, you can find it here. On a related note, I’m changing the official Uke Hunt review policy while I still have some friends left: I’m not reviewing anyone’s music. I’ll be sticking to the […]

MP3 This was the riff back in the day when I was in a band. As well as the riff, it has one of the all time classic guitar solos c/o Sideshow Bob. There is a bit of a cheat in this tab. To be accurate, the last note in the riff should be both […]

MP3 I’ve been mildly obsessed with The Clash’s Straight to Hell since Cover Lay Down (one of my favourite mp3 blogs) posted a batch of cover versions of it. This riff only crops up briefly in the original song but was made more recognisible thanks to it’s use in M.I.A.’s Paper Planes. By the by, […]

MP3 This one is incredibly late for the Ukulele Tribute to The Cure. I’m amazed no one did a cover of this as it works very well on the uke. For those who thought my version of Don’t Fear the Reaper needed more cowbell. UPDATE: Grant Lee Phillips used a uke in his cover of […]

Minor Constellations – Ending (MP3) Minor Constellations – Cassette (MP3) Minor Constellations – Why Tattoos Are Dangerous (MP3) via MySpace Like any sane and right thinking person, I hate MySpace with every available sinew. But occasionally I come across something so good it makes me want to give Rupert Murdoch a big, sloppy kiss. When […]

The video of Will Smith singing Men in Black with Stefan Raab on the ukulele has been knocking around the net for quite a while, but there’s been a spate of people posting about it. No doubt one of the big boys posted about Men in Black on the ukulele and all the two-bit bloggers […]

On eBay UK right now there’s a seller with a number of Bugsgear EleUkes up for sale. The strange thing is, the ‘Buy It Now’ price for each size is exactly the same. So you can pick up a Tenor TC100-PHP for £199.99 (it’s £139.50 at the Ukulele Shop) and a Tenor TC100-MHP for £159.99 […]

For everyone who’s been desperately awaiting Ukulele Hero, there’s a new ad for a ukulele Wii game (thanks Wes). Mark Kailana Nelson has posted his tab for Moloka’i Waltz on Uker Tabs. You can buy a bunch more of his arrangements of Hawaiian tunes here (and there’s a free pdf of Hawaiian turnarounds there too) […]
