Saturday UkeTube: PJ Harvey, Melissa Polinar

March 28, 2009

Warning! One of these videos autoplays – I couldn’t figure out a way to stop it. But it isn’t on YouTube and I like it. It’s the first one if you’re desperate to stop it.

Revenge of the cute ukulele girl this week with Melissa Polinar looking to be on a collision course for Boing Boing (excellent song choice as well I think). PJ Harvey looks more ill each time I see her.

Tricity Vogue – Thank You for Giving Me Something To Write About

PJ Harvey & John Parish – The Soldier

Eilidh Macaskill – Ugly Shoes

Melissa Polinar – Beyond The Blue Horizon

Detectivemile – Liliu

Aileen Stanley & Johnny Marvin – Red Lips Kiss My Blues Away

Rawuke – Limbo Rock

Kenneth Smith – My Budgie’s got Chirpies

Becca and the Bobby McGees – Pirates

Jake Wildwood – Birch

EXPECTING TO FIND CHORDS/TABS? Try clicking where it says the name of the song in red under the video.

    I wasn’t desperate to stop the Tricity Vogue song – I liked it and listened to it twice- funny stuff! Melissa Polinar’s Beyond The Blue Horizon was very nice. I liked some of the other videos/songs(Rawukes, Wildwood), except I couldn’t get through the whole PJ Harvey video.

    Back in the day, I saw Kenneth Smith premier the My Budgie’s got Chirpies song live in Sydney at a BUK (Balmain Ukulele) meet. Good to re live the antipodean times not that I’m back in the Scotchland. Libo rock is a crackin’ tune – I always like it better without the vocals.

    Re: above

    I should also point I’m not the Emily who frequently posts

    Tamster: I know what you mean. PJ Harvey has a lot of benefit of the doubt with me. I’m going to give it some more listens before I make up my mind entirely.

    Emily: All Emilys are welcome here. You’ve commented enough not to call yourself ‘the other Emily’.

    Thanks for the tip o’ the hat!

    Ol’ PJ is looking like she needs a few weeks’ vacation and a couple of good meals… I hadn’t heard anything of hers since Exile on Man (yes) Street…

    You’re welcome, Jake.

    I’d like to see some tabbed out chords for Melissa P.’s “Blue Horizon” cover. Great voice Melissa … I’ve listened to it several times.

    Featherocks: I might do that. I think it works really well on the uke.

    I really like Jake Wildwood’s song, but then I always like his stuff – one helluva talented guy! Think I like the PJ Harvey too

    J-Hob: Still can’t come down one way or the other on the PJ Harvery track.

    Just back from seeing that PJ Harvey one live. Very nice it was too!

Got something to say?
