Max the Ukulele Punk Rocker, Seeso and More Videos

August 9, 2008

Look, Mum, I’m in the New York Times. I do feel a little slighted that they didn’t include a link to me (FMM and MUD got one), but now you can expect to see a big, “As Featured in the New York Times,” sticker every time I mention the National Anthems ebook*.

Anyhoo, you came for ukulele videos, and that’s what you’ll get. Particularly good this week are Max the Ukulele Punk Rocker with an original song, and Seeso and Jason Arimoto (together and apart).

My favourite ukulele videos uploaded to YouTube in the past week.

Taimane Gardner

Taimane recently turned in a suitably barnstorming performance at the memorial concert for Don Ho; with whom she had been playing since the age of 14.

Here, at a family reunion, she is markedly more restrained and relaxed than she is in most of her performances.

Takashi Nakamura

Albert Hammond, Jr - In Transit

With The Strokes taking a year off, guitarist Albert Hammond is focusing on his solo career. In it’s original version, this song featured I’ll forgive the use of a plectrum in this case.

Ukulele-Coolia - Tequila

Gus and Fin - California Sun

Ukulele + wooble board = fun.
