Ukulele it is
The Ukulele had two votes to every one for the Banjo and Guitar (not including mine). Over 60 votes are recorded on the poll but 56 of them were computer generated to make me feel better about people actually caring what instrument I play
The search took the best part of the day but Allans Music sorted me out. When I entered there was a gentleman with his son playing the Ukuleles so I pressed him for advice and after 15 minutes I felt confident to start dealing with the sales persons. My new friend suggested paying at least $100 to get a good sound which he demonstrated by playing one of the $29 China jobs. I have no idea if I got a good deal but apparently it was end of year sales so my new toy, a KA-KC Kaia concert Hawaiian Koa Ukulele set me back $250 (reduced from $335). An electronic tuner set me back $10 but my card didn’t have enough money for a microphone, which is fine because I don’t think my playing is yet recording worthy
Cairns here I come!

Favourite female artists
Here are my favourite female artists I’ve found on YouTube.
httpvp://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=9537A050088AC7E5
The playlist:
1. Sia – You’ve Changed – USA (This is an awesome film clip so a good starting point)
2. Lisa Mitchell – Coin Laundry – Australia (I fell in love with Lisa after seeing this film clip, wow)
3. Carla Bruni – Quelqu’un m’a dit – France (She has some amazing songs and some amazing film clips)
4. Regina Spektor – On The Radio – USA (born in Russian SSR)
5. Soko – Dandy Cowboys – France (Soko really sums up crazy chicks, I love her. I really like the YouTube film clip too)
6. Alizée – J’en Ai Marre – France(wow, she’s very sexy but I’m still cultured by watching her because she’s French)
7. Peter, Bjorn & John – Young Folks – Sweden (I am aware the there is a male singer here too )
8. Camille – Ta Douleur – French (She mixes some really weird sounds)
9. Ladyhawke – Paris Is Burning – New Zealand (Pretty cool song)
10. Emilíana Torrini – Jungle Drum – Iceland (Good song, cool film clip)
11. Lily Allen – LDN – England (I find her really sexy for some reason, which I don’t understand because she’s not that attractive, she doesn’t hold her self well at all, and has an awful accent)
12. Katie Melua – Shy Boy – England (Born in Georgian SSR)
These are not in order of preference, just an order that I think will make them most enjoyable. These song are not necessarily my favourite song by each artist, again the song was chosen to fit into a playlist. Also, I’ve kept a few artists out of this list such as MIA, Blondie, Shakira, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry because I didn’t want anyone knowing I was a fan If you know of any similar artists that I might like, please tell me in the comments.
Enjoy!
