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 :)
