   hmmm…the intro to Banjo Ikey’s Old Time Blues certainly bears a strong resemblance to Thelonious Monk’s Blue Monk…I wonder if that’s actually the intro or just something Lil Rev put in there.
   Funny how he fumbles for the off button on his flip camera at the end there; you can see the reflection in the uke! haha

   Some great stuff there, really liked the jumping flea – some mad skillz (as the kids would say) there. Mad Tea Party and Krabbers were also pretty rollicking. You can add me to the pile marked ‘unconvinced and under-whelmed’ regarding Misty Miller.

   the Super Furry Animals link tells me: “This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.”

   Fuck Sony Music Entertainment!

   in other news…

   Gus & Finn always rock me. and krabbers does too. I loves me some intarwebs. how else would I be able to listen to this fine stuff?

   re: Eugen — I don’t know what it is about tunes in other languages, but I really enjoy them. even though I can’t understand a word. weirdly, Russian especially attracts me. not only did I dig Eugen’s song, but I’m also a big fan of VulgarGrad. (here’s their song, “Limonchiki” – http://youtu.be/qUg0p1slPoI?a) and Chervona (a band that I first found on MySpace and then, several years later, met at the Oregon Country Fair. check them out here: http://www.chervona.com.)

   Lil’ Rev, like Manitoba Hal and Todd Baio, manages to play guitar licks ala the old skool blues while still sounding like a ukulele. that’s a feat that escapes many, including me most of the time. damn it.

   Hmm, not made up about young Misty Miller either, she’s one of those artists who’s songs seem to wander aimlessly without any high or low points, which really isn’t what I’m into.

   But hey, another uke in the limelight, which can’t be bad.

   Sometimes I would like to be Misty Miller’s “uke” :)

   & Oh yes thejumpingflea is also nice to keep “gender rules” in balance!

   Jim: Very interesting point. I haven’t heard the tune before, so I wouldn’t like to say if it’s original or bolted on. It does sound like a traditional blues phrase. It certainly pre-dates Monk. I might email him and ask him.

   J-Hob: I loved that krabbers video, had me loling. Although the Mad Tea Party video was highly inaccurate. Some of those signs were spelled correctly.

   Hobbit: Fuck Sony, indeed. My favourite language to hear sung is French. Particularly when the singer isn’t French.

   byjimini: Yeah, I think it’s worth keeping tabs on her. She seems like she has something – just not fully formed yet.

   Herman: Thanks for the tab, Herman. And the video.

   Not convinced by Misty Miller myself, she’s a pretty young uke girl, and she can sing quite nicely but its just dull and uninspired. A bit like Dido….or is that a bit harsh? :D

   Agathe and Fine are very lovely as always.

   Lil Rev was great as usual, while Mr. Jumpingflea was amazing I thought, technically really good.

   The mad tea party I kind of wanted to like, and thought were entertaining at first, but it just got a bit monotonous and annoying after a little while.
   Cheers!! -F

    Foinnse: Ouch! Dido. That is harsh.

    krabbers: Thanks for your contribution.
