Lick My Love Pump
To celebrate the fact that it’s Nigel Tufnel day, 11/11/11, here’s a recording I’ve just made of Lick My Love Pump on the uke. It’s in Dm, the saddest of all the keys.
For the curious the chords are Dm Bb Am G.
Big Muffin Serious Band – Learn to Play
The Big Muffin Serious Band have a great new way to learn to play the ukulele with their play along videos.
Discovered these via fellow New Zealanders, the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra’s Facebook page.
Spookelele – Tonight, Prince of Wales
Tonight is Spookelele, the Moselele Hallowe’en special. We made a new songbook and everything especially.
Amongst songs like Bobby “Boris” Picket and the Crypt Kickers’ Monster Mash, Talking Heads’ Psycho Killer and Blue Öyster Cult’s (Don’t Fear) The Reaper, all of which we know will work, we’ve sorted out a full 9 minute version of Meatloaf’s Bat Out Of Hell. It’s going to be epic. Whether that is epic epic or #epicfail remains to be seen. You should probably come along and find out. Do print out a songbook first though. Fancy dress is encouraged.
Join us, 8pm in the Prince Of Wales.
Bela Lugosi’s Dead – Corktown Ukulele Jam
I do keep an eye on what my friends at the Corktown Ukulele Jam in Toronto get up to. Last week’s meet was their Hallowe’en night and I was stoked to see this brilliant version of Bela Lugosi’s Dead in my feeds this morning. Really impressed by the sonic manipulations of David Olson, the Robert Fripp of the uke.

Bela Lugosi’s Dead
Great uke cover of the Bauhaus classic by Gus and Fin.
Anybody got a clue what they’re playing though?
Think the descending bit is descending barre C (5433) B (4322) A (2100)
How not to spend Halloween
At home, alone, learning to play John Carpenter’s creepy Halloween theme. It’s the odd time signature and that Devil’s Interval that does it.
Same goes for Tubular Bells’ use in the Exorcist (probably)
And as I write this the cat who was curled up on the bed suddenly sprang up alert, staring at the light fitting. The light shade is made of lots of shell disks suspended from a frame and these started to tinkle, but the window wasn’t open and there wasn’t a breeze…..
