Here is the second of our ukelele duets. I don’t want to oversell it or anything, but it is literally the greatest thing either of us have ever been involved with. Seriously the waveform for this one looks like the Al Gore global warming graph.

Well, faithful battelele fans, we have something special for you this week. The great ukelele-battle meeting of September 2008 took place yesterday, and we recorded a couple of duets for your pleasure, neither of which are Fleetwood Mac songs. Here is the first, the second will follow tomorrow assuming Ari remembers to post it.

Dear readers,

Next week will see the occasion of a grand meeting of ukelelists. It appears that Dan will be in Portland for a few days and we may have the chance to do a little bit of real-time ukelele combat. In any case, it will be an event to remember.

Also, please enjoy this Talking Heads song.

Hey, what do y’all think of this idea - me and Dan covering the entirety of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours (cf Dan’s first post). Dan can take the Buckingham songs, I’ll take the Nicks, and we can split the McVie songs down the middle. Or something like that…

After a brief hiatus, hopefully we’re now back in the swing of things with a second round of uke-battle. Just like I began the first round with a little Clinton-era nostalgia, I’ll do the same for the second.

It’s been a while. This will not happen again. However, I have no time to make no apologies.

This is a test to see whether this song has been killed by that damn everpresent SNL sketch. I vote no.
