Mass Production

Finally got around to making some more of these official Rouge Roastery Tiki God of Coffee ukuleles, built on the Mahalo U-30RD framework.  They're going fast, so shoot me an email if you're interested.  Cost is $60 plus shipping.  

Curse you, Nellie McKay, and your moving performances!

If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, see a doctor.  You may have Sjögren’s syndrome.



Someone please pass the tissues.

"Every Body Do the Michigan Rag"

Anyone else have a cat who plays the ukulele when she's hungry?  I was suprised I was able to get a shot of it, even if it is less-than nominal.  Perhaps I'll try to get her with video next time, but I imagine we'd end up in some kind of Michigan J. Frog situation.

Send fan mails and monetary expressions of amazement to Hello Kitty c/o Steve.

And speaking of MJF...

A Return to IPM!

Last time was so much fun, I just couldn't turn down a last-minute opportunity to spin tunes at IPM alongside my pal Mitch, making his debut as DJ Bikklestein.  He's recently returned from a 12 year stint in Japan, bringing back all sorts of heady J-pop goodness.

Though I didn't attempt anything too fancy this time around, what with putting my set together the night before, the one time I did go for a beatmatch I blew it horribly.  Thanks a lot, beer!  See if I ever drink you again!

The Spider kicks things off with August's edition of "Metal Shop," followed by myself, Bikklestein, and last but not least, Agent Detroit.
