Yesterday’s showdown went down to the wire - both finalists battling valiantly for the spot. There was basically no line of differentiation between the polls until, at the very end, NoLine came up on top. Congrats, bro. What an unbelievable match up. I think Snakeoiler definitely still deserves something special for everything he has done.
This week’s MVOW is provided by watchmeuke. We always love it when our peeps cover songs that are not typical for the uke. This is a great example of taking a great hip hop song by Lupe Fiasco and injecting some hot uke lovin. Keep it up guys. You make us proud.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the April contest so hopefully this video will clear some things up.
Also, tomorrow April 8, 2008 around 5:00pm HST (8:00pm PST) Aldrine will be doing a live stream. He’ll play some songs, maybe answer some questions, it’ll be a good time. The link to the stream will be posted here tomorrow.
That’s right - April is the month we show even more love to the people of the Underground by giving away another (this time, even nicer) Free Ukulele!! It’s the “Oh, The Places Uke Will Go!” video contest, sponsored by KALA Ukuleles!
Here’s what you need to do: 1. Make a video of yourself and your ukulele in front of a landmark. Hometown, state, national, whatever. Basically anyplace that ukes can go. 2. Say your name (or screen name) and tell your viewers that you’re from the Ukulele Underground. Something like, “Hi, my name is BlahBlah_653 and I’m a part of the Ukulele Underground!! Stay tuned, because we’re about to change the world.” Or something to that effect. 3. Tag your video with the phrase “Ukulele Underground” 4. Submit it to the Official Contest Thread.
Done.
If you can’t get a hold of a camcorder, just find a good landmark and take a picture of yourself and your uke in front of it. Add your caption and tag it up with the info above and post it in the Contest thread.
We’ll be accepting only one entry per person - so make yours the best it can be! We’ll announce the winner at the end of April. Good Luck!!
*Oh yeah, if you would like to see the Ukulele that we’re giving away, it’s actually the very same model that Ukulele_Junkie reviewed a few weeks ago (plus a case!). Click HERE to see his video review.
