Ukulele Underground did their best lesson ever this week: a masterclass on how to pull an April Fool. It’s just on the outskirts of believable (there really isn’t any level of stupidity beyond the record industry) and the put in a huge amount of work – replacing all the videos changing every mention of Aldrine to A.G., blurring his videos and bleeping his name – so much that it makes you wonder consider if anyone would go to that much trouble for an April Fools gag.
Ukulele MP3s: New (free) album from Minor Constellations. Warning: contains guitar tracks. Maybe the Complete Beatles Ukulele thing was entirely a bad idea: Adam Green does I Will. That Death Cab for Cute ukulele demo.
Australia is going to get a ukulele festival. At least I think it is. Damn April Fools Day.
Who knew so much work went into making ukulele strings? (And I’m totally crushing on Mrs Aquila).
