    Now I want to hear Zooey do that with Ben Gibbard. And with better playing. Just because.

    Nice selection as usual.

    oh my god. I recently started to listen to sophie. She is a great artist! Also, Sophie madeleines version of mad world sounds great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGkSXcguRQM

    (Does anyone know where you can find the tabs? I would love to play it <3)

    Josh: I’d give that a listen.

    RobNY: Glad you liked.

    Black: I was just about to point you in the direction of that video!

    Thanks so much for this one! Good to see Crumb back in action. In fact, there’s so much to love in this post that I won’t even make the cranky comment I was going to make about Zooey Deschanel doing a lame version of a song that hundreds of more obscure ukers have already done better versions of, and I definitely won’t mutter, “Sophie Madeleine Again? Really?” Plus I really actually like Sophie Madeleine.

    Oh, I said that stuff anyway, didn’t I? Jeez. Umm, maybe I’d better…just…ahem…be on my way now…

    Yeah, get lost Mike! – Zooey is prettier than other more obscure ukers and Sophie is great!

    ;)

    I like Pacific Curls, they remind me of Tune-yards just a little bit.

    However, I just died listening to Dave Matthews. Beautiful yet simple song. Woodshed please figure out this song next!

    Oh, don’t get me wrong — I’d be honored to make either of them the next Mrs. Mike.

    Taking the part as the off topic lady, i fell in love with this song today:

    Do you reckon there´s a good and easy way to play it on the ukulele..

  11. Woodshed July 19th, 2011 12:48 pm

    Mike: That goodness you resisted the temptation to post those snarky comments!

    Siani: Some similarities in the hairstyles.

    Molly: I think there’d be a way to make it work on the uke.

    Sophie Madeleine is terrific.

    Anyone have a tab or able to tab Sweet? I love this song & just bought a uke so I can play it but can’t find a tab anywhere!! Thanks!
