Lots of ukulele MP3s: Pitchfork has a track from the tUnE-YaRdS (you can pick up the album on a ‘pay what you like’ basis here – it’s very good) and Dent May’s new video. A new instrumental from Bosco and Honey with Gensblue. New EP from Existential Hero (aka Steven Ray Morris of Foggy Ruins […]

Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele – You Can’t Force A Dance Party (Chords) I’ve been enjoying The Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele (despite a bit of demoitis one some of the tracks). Some very welcome straight-faced ukulele pop to pass the time while Stephin Merritt plays other instruments. Particularly […]

NeverShoutNever! – Trouble (Chords) I bet the tweenage girls are squealing themselves hoarse over wee Christofer Ingle and his magnificent hair. But in December he took time out from his punishing hair care routine to record an EP of ukulele pop songs Me & My Uke. And he’s currently recording an album with fellow ukulele-EP-releasing […]

Plenty of ukuleles this week to make me wonder whether it was a good idea to send all my money to the Palin Political Action Committee. More of MGM’s NAMM finds this week including a seriously sexy spalted curly mango pineapple ukulele from Pono and Orcas ukulele strings (big in Japan apparently). Rare chance to […]

Kate Micucci made a very big impression as the Scrubs ukulele girl. She was the second biggest Google Trend of the day (officially ‘Volcanic’) and the day after was the second busiest day of this blog’s history. Warren Buffett discusses the possibility that Obama’s election is a turning point in the struggle against ukuleleism, teaching […]
