I realize that I don’t post every day and that by the time I’m on this platform and looking at the previous posts from followers and potential new people to follow that it’s an overwhelming task to see everything. Given that Musk wants to charge people to use twitter - I refuse the new label as much as I refuse to mention the 45th POTUS by name - I’ll probably use those 15 minutes of scrolling over there over here. #tuesday#piratelife#street#people
⚔️ PRACTICAL DEFENCE AGAINST PIRACY is a full-colour, long-form adventure comic set in the #Mediterranean of the late #18thCentury. Come for the #PirateLife, stay for the swordsmanship, friendship, and tall ships.
It's #PirateLife as the theme for #TuneTuesday, so sea shanties, pirate songs and anything sea-related. I have a lot of folk music that covers this, so I may be here a while.
@sheepnik Ah! I have the perfect song for #PirateLife on this #TuneTuesday. "Daggers and Rum" by Anvil! It's one of the best songs that nobody has ever heard.
This track is required listening on International #TalkLikeAPirateDay. Not only is it a fine song with a perfectly appropriate title, but the musicianship, recording, and mix on this live version are all truly exceptional.
Lambchop, "National Talk Like a Pirate Day" (live 2009)
Long ago, I played in a punk band. Mercifully, none of our music is available anywhere online I know of. Still, I always particularly loved one of our songs, "Walk the Plank" - it sounded like the Dwarves stumbling through a poor Pogues cover.
A sample of the pedantic lyrics from our bookish frontman:
Then down from the deck the first mate he came
And told me there'd be no walking the plank
For pirates have too little time
To make men dive for crimes such as mine.
