Blog Makeovers, Win an Oz Trip: Friday Links

First off, a quick parish notice. I’m off to Venice for a week tomorrow. Thanks to the magic of the internets, there’ll still be posts turning up (hopefully), but I won’t be replying to emails and comments. Yes, it would have made sense to time my blog break to match up with it. On to more important things.

It must be the season to makeover your blog. Both UkeToob and Ukulele Languages have sleek new looks and new urls. And KDUS has rebranded itself Ukulele Club de France.

Bosko and Honey are offering a chance to fly out to Australia and join them on their safari via the usual, “This is my entry…” video contest thing.

Aaron Keim has released a two-chord songbook.

Sophie Madeleine’s Life. Love. Ukulele. is now available on CD.

Rod, Jane and Freddie bust out the ukes on Rainbow including the traditional Hawaiian reference to the hokey cokey. (Thanks to Andy)

Get the Gus look.

You can catch the online premiere of Stingray Sam here on the 16th September and watch the trailer here.

Oh, Yahoo Answers. I love you and hate you: Help! I can’t stop fantasizing about Julia Nunes. Windmill it in your right arm then let go?

    Thanks for the link, have fun in Venice, and mostly, thanks for introducing me to “The American Astronaut” – it is the best/worst movie ever and I can’t wait to see if “Stingray Sam” can match/top it!

    cbf: There’d be a whole lot less happy slapping if they’d grown up with Rainbow.

    Donnie: I’m glad I’m not the only one who enjoyed the film.It’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea.

    Armelle: Thanks!

    Gus is most definitely fashionable in my book

    Julian Nunes fixation post….hmmmm? such transparency….i hope she gets through it o.k. ;)

    todd: I feel a bit sorry for the girl with the Nunes obsession. If you’re looking for level-headed advice, Yahoo Answers isn’t the place to go.
