There seems to be a Bushman/pirate theme developing: Krabbers and Jonathan Elder. In non-pirate videos this week: Victoria Vox, Old Blind Mole Orkestra, another killer from Toy Horses and the Ukulele Safari hits the UK.

Nice Ukuleles has to be one of the worst brand name of ukuleles out there. It makes the sound cheap and tacky when it looks like they’re a long way from being that. There are a bunch of them for sale here along with a handsome 6 string Kamaka. SpongeBob SquarePants ukuleles have been around […]

Some very diverting videos this week: Eddie Thomas & Carl Scott, Lego ukulele and KazooKeyLele. On the subject of ukulele videos, UkeToob is a new blog and podcast showcasing the best ukulele videos. Jumping Flea Market looks like it might be the recipient of a few of my hard earned Euros once the online store […]

Girl of My Dreams (Tab)(PDF) I covered the chords for Girl of My Dreams way back when, but this time it’s the tab for Michael ‘LStrachey‘ Madden’s version of the tune. It’s a simple and elegant arrangement. There’s nothing too technically difficult to worry about. Like the tab for Blue Skies, it shows you the […]

Uke obsessive WLTM ukulele for long nights of making sweet music together. Me: Has been playing the field with cheap and easy types and is looking for something more serious. You: Tired of being left on the shelf. Me: Handsome as the devil. You: Petite, long neck and curvy body. Me: Laid back. You: Highly […]

Blue Skies (Chords) – Blues Skies Intro (Tab) After a few weeks of heavy duty rock riffs, I’m having a change this week and going with some old school stuff. Blues Skies has been recorded by hundreds of people including Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Willie Nelson. But this tab is based heavily, very heavily, on […]

Entertainment for the Braindead – Sleep (MP3) Entertainment for the Braindead – Resolutions (MP3) When Earlyguard turned me on to Entertainment for the Braindead‘s Hypersomnia, I was knocked out by it. It’s full of beautifully fragile, drowsy tracks. I immediately started badgering her for an interview. Unfortunately, that fell down the back of the internet. […]

The Muppets Mahna Mahna (Tab)(PDF) MP3 As great as Mahna Mahna is, I’ve never been able to forgive it for resulting in the worst record of all time: Vanilla No Way, No Way (but watching that on YouTube led me to remembering that Shapoo were bloody fantastic – so good truly can come from evil). […]

This week’s selection of uke videos includes Tinyfolk, Led Kaapana and Toy Horses. In other news, I got a mention in the Guardian. I don’t know what discussion forum he’s talking about and he seems to have missed the link to the chord chart in BIG RED LETTERS. It’s not like them to get something […]

Plenty of interesting and unusal ukuleles this week. And whenever the phrase ‘interesting and unusal ukuleles’ crops up, the word ‘Swagerty‘ isn’t going to be far behind. According to the description this Swagerty Sum Fun is a one of a kind made by and bought from Swagerty himself. That has to make it a serious […]
