Saturday UkeTube: Black Kids, Ukulele Loki

Videos this week include Black Kids doing a ukulele session for KEXP (not as spunky as the full-on version but enough to feed my craving for songs with girls shouting numbers), Ukulele Loki, a particularly fine version of St James Infirmary, WS64 ripping through a couple of rock and roll classics (now go la-da-dow) and […]

Saturday UkeTube: Watercolor Paintings, Cousin Alice

Three old videos from people recklessly making great uke music without tagging it to make things easy for me: Watercolor Paintings (who aren’t, as I first thought, covering Mirah), Cousin Alice and Charlot Webster. Along with plenty of more diligent ukers. One uker who didn’t make the cut is Aaron Carter (who is now, apparently, […]

Saturday UkeTube: Tafra, Puppini Sisters

This week’s videos include an old old clip from Tafra, a new old clip of James Hill rocking the White Stripes look, The Puppini Sisters calypsoing around and Todd encouraging us to take a ukulele break (as if we needed any convincing).

UkeTube: Art Fowler, Caracol, Tinyfolk, JoCo, Dent May

A busy week this week. I’ve completely broken my 10 video maximum and left out some stuff I really liked. Those that made the cut include Emily Ritz, Dent May camping it up (again), Tinyfolk, daniellesmagic, a catch up with Caracol, and Sweetafton by herself and Kristen back with JoCo after – I imagine – […]

Saturday UkeTube: PJ Harvey, Melissa Polinar

Warning! One of these videos autoplays – I couldn’t figure out a way to stop it. But it isn’t on YouTube and I like it. It’s the first one if you’re desperate to stop it. Revenge of the cute ukulele girl this week with Melissa Polinar looking to be on a collision course for Boing […]

Saturday UkeTube: Ugly, Hairy Man Edition

Back in the day I felt the need to argue that the ukulele wasn’t just for uggos like Tiny and Formby but sexy people played it too. How the times change. Now I feel the need to say, “Ugly men play the ukulele too.” So this edition of UkeTube features plenty of facial hair and […]

Saturday UkeTube

I assume everyone is subscribed to Bosko and Honey and has already seen the incredible Kamatetsu. If not, go there right now. With that done, check out this week’s videos including some cheerup music, some throat singing, a tribute to ukulele girls and – this week’s Boing Boing contender -a song about cannibalism.

Saturday UkeTube: Brianna Price, Esther Walker & Ed Smalle

I never thought it would happen but there’s a ukulele cover of The Beatles I like. But you still won’t find it in this week’s roundup as she also has a heartbreakingly brilliant original song. As much as I like light-hearted ditties about facial hair and bunnies, I love it when people sing a song […]

Corner Laughers, Tomotaka Matsui: UkeTube

New videos from the Corner Laughers, GUGUG, The Sweet Hollywiians’ Tomotaka Matsui on lap steel ukulele and plenty more.

UkeTube: Rocky and Balls

I try not to feature two videos from the same act in a week, so I’m fudging it by having one video from Rocky and Balls and one from just Rocky or Balls (I give it about 3 weeks until they’re on Boing Boing). Along side them are plenty of old friends (including GUGUG, Jake […]
