Fewer videos than usual this week. Must be down to me being in a bad mood. I wasn’t even keen on Sophie Madeleine’s new one at first (it grew on me). And I dragged down the average by uploading five videos of my own.

Woodshed — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:00:00 +0000

Most of the UOGB stuff that turns up on YouTube is DVD rips, which makes lizardonuke’s channel very refreshing with lesser seen songs and backstage shenanigans. As well as the UOGB, this weeks vids include Mr B schooling us, Lulu and the Lampshades going bandstand busking (watch the whole thing here), The Bobby McGee’s fighting off zombies, Plushgun making a video on the cheap, Peter Moss soundchecking, Luca Gemma with the UKEit guys and plenty more.

I very much enjoying Charlie Brooker’s new show GamesWipe this week. The highlight of the show was a ukulele-featuring song/game review by Rebecca Mayes. I do hope that’s a regular feature.

Also this week are rib-tickling videos from Amelia Robinson and Ben Lerman (whose song is definitely NSFW), The Leisure Society, some hapa-haole a beautifully sung version of Blue Moon and a couple a tracks by Rusty Cage (I hope that’s his real name).

Kalei Gamiao, Dithyrambe, Siri Nilsen: Saturday UkeTube

Woodshed — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:00:40 +0000

Most diverting act of the week has to be Dithyrambe who are a cross between Marie Antoinette, Maria Callas, The Tiger Lillies and The Re-Entrants. But the standout video this week is Kalei Gamiao with some incredible playing. Impressive enough to draw attention away from his Kim Jong Il outfit. Also this week is Cousin Alice doing what should be a Bond theme, Siri Nilsen (a Norwegian with an incredible voice) and Ulysses & The Swans (whose song I’ve been back and forth on liking, but the singer is handsome so it’s in).

A big thanks to Samantha for pointing me in the direction of Jennifer Teeter who is hilarious. Just don’t watch her video while you’re eating. Or before you eat. Or after you eat.

Kalei Gamiao – Mach 4

Dithyrambe – Highway to Hell/Billie Jean/Cotton Eyed Joe
