The ukulele one was neat, and the BGVs were especially fun. I would have liked to hear more variation or instrumentation, but overall, I like.

The #5 sped-up entry was worth an honorable mention. Made me laugh.

#3 was creative, but not something I’d want to listen to very often. Technically interesting, and the Office Space clip was a nice touch, and the piano part in the middle was a funny contrast (and very well-performed).

I liked some of #4, but I think the arrangement got a bit lost around the chorus, and never found its way back.

I just wanted to say how utterly impressed I was by the creativity of the first place entry. I love how it was a total re-thinking of the concept and yet used many parts of the original. And I’m a music teacher – so I should know! (lol)

I couldn’t quit dig the #2 mix… weirdness in the harmonies… eww.

And I liked speedmonkey – its like getting a joco fix in 75% of the time. But wait, there’s more! throw in the Ginsu knives!

Minimo, you’re very kind, and those iTunes Kristens were most definitely not me. I do have some music of the charmingly-bad-home-recorded variety on my blog, on which I am chronicling my renewed attempts to become a decent musician after having totally OD’d on violin lessons as a child. It’s fairly new so there’s not much there, and what is there is highly embarrassing, but feel free to click on my nickname above (if I did the thing with the link right) to check it out.

It’s already been suggested to me that I should play Code Monkey at the open mic night at the (2nd annual!) New York UkeFest in April. My response was that it would only work if Coulton came and sang it with me, which seems unlikely. But, since I don’t resemble a male software developer in any way, I don’t think I could really sell that particular song.

I Tunes pulled up some Kristen stuff that I am fairly sure is somebody else–maybe two other somebody elses.

KRISTEN! Got any links to your ukelele self?
