Bilgemunky Radio

Tonight's Bilgemunky Radio marked our last episode before an extended hiatus. Due to mounting technical difficulties we're just not currently able to produce a show of the quality you've come to expect, and will therefore be taking the summer off. This will give us time to regroup, purchase some new equipment, and drink margaritas. Enjoy tonight's episode, and if you can't make it through summer without your Monday night pirate music fix, check out the podcasts :)

Kickin' in old school with some Mary Malloy and Stuart Frank. Add a modern splash with some Kapten Pirat and Oddwood and you got a spicy cocktail of piratey goodness.

Do you really want to be a pirate? Yes, yes you do. Because pirates get all the best rum, bacon, and squid ink. 401Ks leave much to be desired, though.

The Truth About Rum, you ask? Well, if you drink some Black Heart and wind up in Buccaneer's Bog you'll likely have to take your Chances with some Skeletons who then get beat up by Oderlessey who's a Damn Fine Sailor but also a Brutal Pirate although nicer than Calico Jack Rackham but not so nice as Anney Bonney and Mary Read.

After three weeks of no show, Bilgemunky Radio triumphantly returns. Much akin to Serenity in Firefly, the new DJ studio is mostly built up from spare parts and junk - but that doesn't mean she won't fly (or at least saunter awkwardly through the air).

I like rum yes I do I like rum how 'bout you? Yar. And then comes the Rum Lag. Sorry about that.

Valparaiso Men's Chorus—if you don't already know 'em then you're in for a treat. Plus there's some Ben Gunn Society and Captain Rumbucket thrown in for good measure.

Jolly Rogers, Jolly Garogers, Tom Mason, and the Audio Drinking Companion. And a bunch more. Like There be Pirates, BOOM Pirates, Abney Park, Sunken Chest. And more. Like Pirate Jenny, Rustmonster, Sforzando, Whiz Bang, and still more. And more. And more and more and more.

200 came and went, and now we're on to 201. Having passed such a milestone, is there any reason to trudge forward? Well, let me start by pointing out that despite the rumors, the rum is indeed NOT yet gone. Nor, for that matter, is the pirate music. Tonight we featured a new piece from Pirates Inc, as well as a first-time played favorite from Pirates of the Great Salt Lake soundtrack.

It's our 200th podcast, and we celebrate by exploring the very best of the best from throughout the years! Rock, metal, shanties... it's all here! Thanks so much for all the years of support :)

Barley Boys, Brine&Bastards, what is this, another B episode? Nope, cuz we played other bands too. Some started with other letters than B, even. Some.

Bilgemunky fights a cough with ferocity while spinning the greatest pirate tunes on the planet.

Scabby the Seaman takes us back to classic Piratey Jenny (or as I like to call them, PJ. Just kidding, nobody calls them that nor should they. Ever.)

Bone Island Buccaneers, Budd Bay Buccaneers, Brigands… the b-words were out in force tonight.

It's a very special Xmas Eve podcast full of nuthin' but pirate Xmas music. Enjoy it, ya blaggards!

What's normal? Not much in the pirate music world. But blessedly sometimes it's a show that don't founder and sink mid-voyage.

After a brief interruption in service last week, we're back on the air and not much worse for the wear. Actually, that's a lie - had some audio issues that we hope to resolve by next week. BUT, otherwise a great show full of the pirate tunes you know and love, plus a little Holiday cheer!

Abney Park, Pirates Charles, Jolly Rogers, Pyrettes, and so much more. So very much more. Piratey much more.

Ya take the good and take the bad, ya take 'm both and there ya have the pirate life. Yar.

The Alaskan Pirate & His Salty Seamen sounds naughty but it's not. Really.

Goblins and zombies and devils and ghosts and bones and leviathans and chainsaws oh my. Happy Halloween, ya blighters.

Spooks and ghouls are coming soon, but for now, there's bunnyjacks.

Alestorm, Dread Crew of Oddwood, Roy Metté, Scurvy Pirates… classic pirate music through and through (and through).

You know that pain that keeps on paining long after the pain should have become less painful? That is lavapain, and there's not enough aloe in the universe.

The Articles of Black Bart, The Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor… it starts to sound educational but then we throw in The Cat and The Last Time I Went to the Mall. Which says nothing of Love Chum.

Had an extra-long, extra-special episode to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day! Loads of great music, and perhaps a little extra rum to go alongsides :)

Talk Like a Pirate Day Month is upon us! Yarrr!!!

Captain Marty Scapegoat, Skip Henderson, Jollyship the Whizbang… and because we're all cultured and stuff, Quatre Pieces de Huit.

Tonight we celebrate National Rum Day with, you guessed it, songs of rum. Also songs of villainy, adventure, and battle. But mostly songs of rum.

We played Purple Heart tonight. Oh yeah we did. Also Mizzen, do drink up—you'll want to gird yer loins for this show.

After two weeks of technical difficulties, we finally have an unglitched show full of piratey awesomeness!

Mr. Mac, Salty Dick, Pirates Charles, and it wouldn't be a complete evening without some Tom Smith.

Fireworks, rum, piracy - it was a blast. Get it? A blast??? Yeah.

After returning from NorCal, Bilgemunky lays in a new broadside of pirate tunage, including new music from Seaskeleton and Craig Nybo of Rustmonster!

In addition to our usual dose of great pirate music, tonight's episode featured songs from Back Through Time - Alestorm's brand new Pirate Metal album, available now!

Yes, the Purple Tiki made an appearance, which bodes well for sailors in the morning, but poorly for tax attorneys at 3:30 in the afternoon.

After returning from a week on vacation, we were back ready to hit the seas and yell plenty of pirate cliches for your amusement. A few technical hiccups left the show somewhat less than streamlined, but debauchery was still achieved.

Tonight's show not only featured our usual barrage of killer pirate tunage, but also a listener contest for a copy of Lego Pirates of the Caribbean Video Game for Xbox360! And as a halftime surprise, we featured an interview with A.C. Crispin, author of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom.

Rustmoster, Captain Dan, Brine&Bastards… and something called Sounds Like Chicken.

What we gonna do with seamonsters? Kill 'em and grill 'em and sell 'em to Long John Silvers at a steep markup.

Tip the black spot once and it's trouble. Twice is a disaster. Three times, the universe explodes. It's the pirate way.

Ninja Pirate Monkeys exist. Or, at least songs about them exist. Or rather, one song. We played it tonight. And some other stuff. Pirate stuff.

After experiencing technical difficulties last week, we've set course again with a new Shoutcast Server, and the results were *mostly* an improvement. Nothing a little rum can't fix!

New music from Tom Mason, plus Bilgemunky tastes a new rum :)

A touch of the piratey odd tonight, with the likes of Jollyship the Whiz Bang, Mizzen, Momus, and so much more.

When Irish eyes are smilin' then all the beer must be drained. But that's ok, cuz there's still plenty whiskey and rum!

Pirate music, rum, plenty of dedications - a classic night of Bilgemunky Radio :)

Some great music tonight, including The Ben Gunn Society's brand new album, No Stars!!!

Tonight we dug deep and turned up some of our rarely played songs. Plus a special dedication to Presidents' Day.

It was a somewhat more subdued night, as Bilgemunky was nursing the early stages of a headcold (that HOPEFULLY won't last long). But we still had plenty of great pirate songs, and loads of listener requests!

The pirate tunage you know and love, pluse NEW from Jollyship the Whiz Bang!
