Peggy Sue – February Snow (Chords) Since the Peggy Sue interview I’ve had a steady stream of requests to do this song and I’ve finally caved. There’s a lot going on in the song so no blather. Chords There’s quite a lot of dissonance in the chords. The Fadd9 has an F, G and Ab […]

YouTube must be having some serious problems lately. I’ve seen all sorts of loading errors, my latest video took hours to publish and all my subscriptions disappeared. So my apologies if I’ve missed anything earth-shattering. Nevertheless, there’s menagerie of videos this week including songs about narwhals and unicorns, blackbirds and dik-diks. One that isn’t in […]
MGM has the the new electric Fluke ukuleles. And they look rather nice to me. Huge variation between the look of these two custom Kanilea curly walnut ukuleles: Kanilea 1, Kanilea 2. The uke I want this week: Martin Style 3 Taropatch. Photos: Spooky man w/ ukulele, beautiful woman w/ taropatch.
Don’t miss the first ever Uke Hunt Podcast. Unfortunately, it seems to be the only audio-widget doodads that’s working at the moment – seems like a plugin problem. UPDATE: I’ve figured out what the problem is but it’ll take a few days to fix entirely. So you might have problems until then. MP3s: You can […]
Oxygene Part IV & Journey of the Sorcerer (Tab) I don’t know how Time Magazine reached the conclusion that the 2000s were the worst decade ever. A decade where a few people with plenty of money anyway getting fleeced by Bernie Madoff was one of the 10 worst things to happen. Bunch of wankers. Anyhoo, […]
Uke Hunt Podcast #1 (MP3) (61.8 MB) Warning: Explicit I’ve just finished listening to the first episode of the Uke Hunt podcast and I bloody loved it. I can say that without being big-headed because it was all done by Bossarocker. And she did a bang up job. Subscribe The Uke Hunt podcast is up […]
Amanda Palmer/Radiohead – Fake Plastic Trees (Chords) Amanda Palmer’s much anticipated Radiohead-ukulele EP is out next week. So time for this one, I think. It’s frustrating listening to Amanda Palmer’s music. She can be ball-crushingly awesome at times and bloody shit at other times. Often within the same song. Which is how I feel about […]
I’m really inspired by sanfordandsong‘s channel at the moment. No Shimabukuro or Beatles covers for him. This week he’s doing Aphex Twin. Before you throw accusations of snobbishness at me, there’s a Shimabukuro cover in the post (albeit Bruce) played by cute ukulele boys. Famous folks this week include Florence and the Machine and Eef […]
Having had my uke-lust temporarily sated by the Sceptre, there’s not much leaping out at me this week. Although Ukulelia did direct me to UkuZoo which has a few collections of vintage ukuleles for us to peruse. I we were playing the ‘you can take one thing home with you’ museum game. I’d go with […]
“Racy ukulele website ad sparks complaint“. ukulelesongs.com got in hot water for having a ‘Date hot girls in your area’ type ad on the site which lead to a page with a girl holding a sign saying, “I love Auckland guys that play the ukulele.” . Maybe I should have ads on this site. That […]
