UkeTube: Art Fowler, Caracol, Tinyfolk, JoCo, Dent May
April 4, 2009
A busy week this week. I’ve completely broken my 10 video maximum and left out some stuff I really liked. Those that made the cut include Emily Ritz, Dent May camping it up (again), Tinyfolk, daniellesmagic, a catch up with Caracol, and Sweetafton by herself and Kristen back with JoCo after – I imagine – a vicious ‘getcha hands offa ma man’ type cat-fight.
But my favourite this week is Art Fowler’s performance with Gene Austin. I’ve been trying to find some of his solo stuff to buy with no luck. But I did find a track on Internet Archive.
Gene Austin and Art Fowler -Everything’s Made For Love
Honeybody and the Moonbees (Emily Ritz) – Scars and Sores
Caracol – L’amour est un tricheur
Sweetafton23 – It All Makes Sense in the End
Jonathan Coulton & Kristen Shirts – Baby Got Back
Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele – “Howard”
moonkoen – Sweet Child O’ Mine
That Monkey Island theme was my favourite. That’s a huge treat for a MI fan like me!
will have to come back to check out the rest, but oh my gosh….it would be hard ‘not’ to like Dent May……he’s got a fresh thing goin’
very cheezy and nice!
Todd
Some nice selections there this week, I think my favourite might be tinyfolk., his hair reminded me of Robert Smith.
Can’t say I’m all that taken with Dent May though.
I really love daniellesmagic.
All of her music is really unique and she has a really awesome voice.
Al,
(How in the heck did you come across Honeybody and the Moonbees? They don’t even have uke in their tag!) Only possible in the Pacific Westcoast I say…great find. I really like their “Suctioncups”.
Merci beaucoup…
Lovely jubbly, as always. Sill listening to Dent May, bloody brilliant.
Still love Molly, but, oh man, that Monkey Island theme was amazing!
I love how this site has altered my taste in music.
Thank you!
I thank sweet jeebus every day for danielle and molly.
I’m with jhob – that Tinyfolk song is quite ace, and can’t quite get my head around Dent May… the Honeybody one is an ace find too – top ‘tube scouring, sir!
Honeybody reminded me of Coco Rosie. It’s an intense song, spooky in its own way.

Jimmy and Lee: Looks like I might have to add that tune to the ‘to-tab’ list.
todd and John: I wouldn’t have picked that out as a single. The video is hilarious though.
Rennie and Seeso: I still haven’t decided where I stand on the Danielle front. Some of her songs I love. Some I don’t get at all.
Joseph: I’ve been a fan of Emily Ritz
for a while and I subscribed to her videos when I realised she wasn’t tagging them with ‘ukulele’.
ron: Erm… Vous et welcome.
byjimini: Thanks.
Alice: Glad you can find stuff you like.
hillfield: I think Dent might be one of those ‘love him or hate him’ acts.
I really like the Gene Austin tune, “Everything’s made for Love”. Any chance you know where to look for the chords?
