My favourite video this week comes from, Amanda Palmer’s conjoined twin side project, Evelyn Evelyn with a glorious animated video (which is NSFW if you work someone that frowns upon cartoon copulation and foul language – and if you do, what the hell are you doing working there?). Even if you haven’t been impressed with Amanda Palmer’s ukulele efforts so far, you should still check this out. You can read more about the project on Pitchfork – including rumours that the album features Frances Bean Cobain.
Also up are highlights from Annie Bacon’s The Folk Opera – which I am now eager (and very unlikely) to see.
Don’t forget to cast your vote for the Ukulele Video of the Year.
Evelyn Evelyn (Amanda Palmer) – Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn
Jumpin’ Diz, Rockin’ Rose & the Ukrane Ukuleles – De Kasper Köhler Klaagzang (enige echte)
As well as being fantastic singers and fine songwriters, they can shred on the uke as well. Watch them cutting up some Bach.
Herman Vandecauter – Fantasie nr 9
Annie Bacon – Highlights from The Folk Opera
Lauren Zettler – King of Wishful Thinking
James Hill & Melanie Doane – Avalon
Les Poupées Gonflées – Où est-il?
Via Ukulelia.
Well, the Amanda Palmer thing shows that if you throw enough money and ‘creatives’ at something, you actually CAN polish a turd. Dent May cartoon next?
Oh, I sound like JCMG!
