Tom Cruise Crazy Uke/Bass Duet
Jonathan Coulton and guest ukulele slinger Kristen Shirts perform "Tom Cruise Crazy," a song that was clearly written to be a uke/bass duet, at Union Hall, Brooklyn, 1/30/07
The instruments Jonathan and Kristen are playing are actually the same size. Kristen is just much, much larger than Jonathan is, and that messes with the perspective.

Code Monkey Ukulele Remix LIVE
Переглядів 56 тис.17 років тому
Professional troubadour Jonathan Coulton and guest non-professional uke player Kristen Shirts perform "Code Monkey" at Union Hall, Brooklyn, 1/30/07. Contrary to appearances in the video, Jonathan and Kristen were not actually wearing matching outfits. Although, wouldn't that have been adorable? Tunes aplenty at jonathancoulton.com

    JoCo sent me your way and in turn, I sent you a tweet. Care to take a step back in time to help me figure something out? It's for the babies.

    Good combination, and nice job. I have the same Dean Playmate bass that JoCo is playing, and it sounds just like that, even if I don't use a pick. Actually, it's hard to make it sound better, but it was really inexpensive, so I can't complain. Jay Leonhardt has a great song called "It's Impossible to Sing and Play the Bass" about exactly that.

    Yah its freaking hard most bass parts even forward ones are so far off from the melody you brain needs to split in two. But there are plenty of famous bassist that do it. Sting, Billy Idol Gene Simmons, Mark Hoppus, Paul McCartney, Lemmy, Les Claypool, Geddy Lee, Mark King. And myself

    Yeah, I had to wikipedia this one... and even after that I still don't know how you came to this conclusion. Please don't compare some stupid role-model of yours to the figure-head of a religion that is practiced throughout the world and has sustained much persecution throughout the years.
