Favorite bands of 2008
It's time for those end-of-year lists. These are my favorite musical artists/bands that I came across in 2008. See if you can spot a trend in my tastes...
#1: The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
Top-notch musicianship coupled with dry British humor.
Life on Mars:
Theme from Shaft:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly:
More UOGB
#2: Bosko & Honey
A delightful couple from Australia who regularly post videos on Youtube. They just completed a worldwide "Ukulele Safari", which you can watch in episode form on their website.
Sway:
Theme from Midnight Cowboy:
#3: Paula Fuga
Some folks are calling Paula Fuga the next Israel Kamakawiwo'ole in terms of her potential for bringing Hawaiian-influenced music to the mainstream.
Honorable mention:
Gus & Fin's stirring rendition of the Ramone's Blitzkrieg Bop
