What's this about pirate music?

<< < (5/5)

Garcin:
I've been to a couple of their shows actually, at the Warsaw in Brooklyn, and in Central Park at Summerstage.  The audience participation element in Mariner's Revenge Song was much fun.  As was the part where Colin whispered "shhhh . . . the band is sleeping" and somehow got 350 people to lie down in a packed (converted) theater.

That doesn't change the fact that the video to 12 Military Wives was really, really bad.  And not bad/good.  Bad/bad.

ASturge:
16 Military Wives, and that Video was awesome.

HHAHAHAHA

--- Quote from: saturnine1979 ---Colin Meloy covered Joanna Newsom's "Bridges And Balloons" which contains alot of seafaring imagery as well.

Who needs Colin Meloy covering "Bridges and Balloons" when you can get a techno version.

Arr! I used to be a blood thirsty rum-swillin' guitar-strumin' pirate.  Me ragged crew of seven and I battled a giant squid then toured the high seas in our ship The Salty Bitch.  Yarr! The high seas be a long hard road to tour. We caught our manager stealing dubloons from our coffers and we had to make him walk the plank off the coast of Portugal.   Me lady fair did not remain true whist I was at away, and me own 1st mate tried to slit me throat with a rusty dagger whist I lay sleeping.  What the gigs didn't cover we had to plunder and pillage. But we never made it big like the other pirate bands you may have heard of.

By the late 1600's the scene was pretty old and our rampant alcoholism was taking its toll. That's when I revealed my secret addiction to opium.  To make a long story short: The band broke up, the ship was scuttled,  I got help, and we all forgot where we had buried the booty.

Pirate music is awesome, because Pirates are awesome, and everybody wants to be pirate awesome!
