Friday Links

AAAAAARGH!!! Big blog problems at the moment. The site doesn’t seem to be updating. So no new posts are appearing on the front page or anywhere else on the site. Phew! Panic over. A big thanks to Armelle for alerting me to the problem. And a MASSIVE thanks to j-hob for fixing the mess. If you notice anything still looking screwy, let me know.

Anyhoo, on to ukulele news.

Bushman Ukulele Luau 2009 lineup. Good news for fans of Ukulelezo. Great news for fans of tba.

Jimmy McGee has secured his place in the play-offs. Now it’s time to up the ukulele quotient and vote for Tricity Vogue.

Someone finally tells Amanda Palmer where she’s going wrong.

Violonlele Resophonic on KDUS. Want one.

Ukulele MP3s: Stereogum are promising a listen to Death Cab for Cutie’s ukulele track later today (UPDATE: it’s up here). A week’s worth of ukulele mp3s on Doklands. Melophobe has a track from Those Darlins.

Tonight You Belong to Me chords, Jerry’s Breakdown tab and Dream a Little Dream chords on Uker Tabs.

Ukulele/facial hair watch: Ukulele Loki joins the Mustache March.

Hawaiian Barbie.

    ahhh – I thought the site was playing up, but in the words of Rod Thomas, i thought ‘Its not you, it me!’
    If its any consolation Al, my hosting is currently knackered and im unable to access/create any databases on about 8 of my sites!!

    Also Get out of bed America!! i want to hear the Death Cab for Cutie track!!
    Incidentaly DCFC fans, ‘Grapevine Fires’ works pretty well on a uke

    oh, and sorry, i cant help with v 2.7.1 of wordpress. Ive got some bits that ive shfted up to 2.7, but that all worked fine.

    TBH, Upgrading gives me the fear so much that i tend to avoid it where possible. In fact, Fizzypop is still on 2.3.3!!!
    (but dont tell the l33t h4x0rs!!)

    Thanks, Andy. I’m with you on the fear. Uke Hunt was way behind on updates for that very reason. Now this has happened I’ll be even more fearful in the future.

    WordPress upgrades give me the fear too, backups and test upgrades recommended!

    AHA! The Ukulelia counter-cyber attack is working! Tangled up in your own tentacles? heh heh heh.

    Gary: LMAO! You bastard!

    But you’ll have to try harder. J-Hob’s gone and fixed it. God love him.

    :-) De nada!

    Kudos to J-hob

    i know where i’ll be going next time I have a WP problem!!! ;)

  9. Armelle March 27th, 2009 4:42 pm

    You’re welcome Al. And the reason I’ve noticed the problem is that your site is so great it feels very weird when no new post appears for more than 1 day !

  10. zym March 27th, 2009 10:44 pm

    I must just say that the Death Cab version of ‘Talking Bird’ is absolutely STUNNING :D

    great find Al!

    John: It’s looks like you’re now the official IT support for the entire ukulele community.

  12. J-Hob March 30th, 2009 12:19 pm

    I humbly accept my mantle and promise to do my best for God and ukulele… well, for ukulele at least.

  13. Woodshed March 30th, 2009 6:40 pm

    J-Hob: God/ukulele. Same thing.
