Wallet Looseners

I’m back from my summer break to find a whole bunch of items to lubricate your wallet-slit and get rid of any leftover ice cream money.

Sophie Madeleine’s Original Ukulele

Sophie is auctioning off her original ukulele for Cancer Research. And it’s not some shitty uke she had laying around either. It’s the one that she plays in her first video, appears all over her two albums and is in her Rhythm You Started video.

Thought aestivation had morphed into vegetation, Al. Always does with me.

First time, I believe, I’ve seen Heidi mentioned on a uke blog. For fans, she played Susan on ‘Seinfeld’.

Her “Owl & the Pussycat” video is one of my favorites.

Not at all sure uker pin-up calendars are a good idea. Seen too many ukers. Imagining nightmare scenarios.

And leave us not dump on shitty ukes. Quality ukes just make crap music sound better.
