Tonight we mark the occasions of Blackbeard's and Calico Jack Rackham's untimely demises with a helping of songs dedicated to each. Musical Blades, Roy Mette, the Jolly Rogers, and many others all contribute music inspired by these infamous men. Also tonight, new music from Captain Bogg & Salty, and an excerpt from the new Lafitte's Return albums (volumes 3 and 4).
Tonight's show not only featured new music from There Be Pirates and B.O.O.M., but we also have Pirate Jenny news, and an online pirate party brewing in Second Life!
It was a long time coming, but well worth the wait - Alestorm, Scotland's premiere pirate-core band, has joined the ranks of Bilgemunky Radio featured artists! And the timing couldn't be better as they have a US tour coming in 2009. Details included in tonight's podcast!
Tonight's show featured a special dose of creepy pirate songs including Horror Movie Hero by the Jolly Rogers, Banquet of Ghosts by Purple Heart, Death to the Monster by Blackfeet Peet, and... and... AND!!! A new song from Captain Marty Scapegoat!!!
Several birthday requests tonight, topped off by Bilgemunky's very own version of "The Devil's Son", dedicated to his mate Red Beard. Ears bled, but fun was had nonetheless. Tonight's show also featured new music from the Salt Sea Pirates and The Dreadnoughts.
Truth be told, tonight's broadcast had very little to do with Pastafarians, although we did play "Touched By His Noodly Appendage" by Pirates R Us. We also played lots of other great stuff, including We Are They, Mizzen, Jolly Ship the Whiz Bang, Captain Dan, Salt Sea Pirates, and much more!
Pardon the perplexing title - I couldn't think of anything. Tonight's show featured new music from Blackfeet Pete, Captain Dan, and the Musical Blades.

September stinks, because it marks the end of Summer. But September rocks, because it marks the approach of Talk Like a Pirate Day! Celebrate all month long with Bilgemunky Radio!!! New music this week from Blackfeet Peet, several musical requests in honor of Tyrali's birthday, and maybe even a dolphin or two.
Tonight's broadcast was highlighted by a guest appearance from Cap'n Slappy of Talk Like a Pirate Day. We discussed the upcoming holiday, their new book, and other pirate miscellany. True, we're still working out some bugs with the technical aspects of live interviews, but we hope you enjoy it just the same :) Also featured new music from The Musical Blades and Blackfeet Pete.
As bold a variety of pirate tunes as every, but seldom do we traverse waters so dangerous as those of the Brothers Comstock. But at the heartfelt request of a listener, we did indeed play "The Pukin' Song" (a.k.a. Yo Ho). Tonight's show also featured some of today's very best pirate-core, including Salt Sea Pirates, Rustmonster, and The Pirates Charles!
After years of pestering, Mizzen has finally recorded a full song, and you can hear it first right here! Tonight's show also featured a previously unheard live song from classic Pirate Jenny.
Since he couldn't be bothered to do a proper show prep, tonight's show - with the exception of the first three songs - is made up 100% of live listener requests! Bounding Main, Musical Blades, Bogg&Salty - all your favorites are here.
Tonight's show featured an interview with Spoo Diggity, Captain and lead singer of The Pirates Charles, previously recorded at the NorCal Pirate Festival! And also a song dedication to the destruction of bugs.
Yes, it's Bilgemunky Radio 42, featuring the ULTIMATE answer. Well, not really as we didn't realize the significance of our 42nd broadcast until it was over. So no, we don't have any sage wisdom regarding matters weighty - but we do have some smashing pirate tunes.
All your favorites, including Bogg&Salty, Ben Gunn, Captain Dan, Sforzando (river pirates!), and Rustmoster!
New music from Sforzando, Abney Park, and Pirates R Us. Plus some brief observations regarding PyrateCon's not-so-behind-the-scenes workings, and an announcement about Bubblegum Slut Fanzine.
New music from steampunk legends Abney Park. Also great pirate tunes from Sforzando, Rusty Cutlass, Captain Dan, Pirates of New Providence, and many more!
Tonight's show featured an impromptu contest involving Bounding Main, haiku, pocket lint - and lest we forget - FUN! We also played some pretty nifty pirate music too - including one of Australia's premiere pirate bands, SFORZANDO!!!
After a very full weekend of managing the Port Washington Pirate Festival (where the highlight event included the freak show's car getting struck by lightning), Bilgemunky does his very best to stay awake for YOU, our beloved listeners.
Tonight's show was kicked off with a listener-written poem, Ode to Bilgemunky Radio. A great way to start a very fun night of pirate music. Yarrr!!!
That's right - this week's Bilgemunky Radio includes the long-awaited second episode of Bilgemunky Adventures: Sneaky Bastards. Tonight's show also featured new music from Rustmonster, loads of fun news tidbits, and - of course - many pirate and pirate-core favorites.

Tonight's opening monologue specifically targets the Simpons for having the gall to trash the PotC3 DVDs (which grossed 3 times as did the Simpsons Movie). Also a special toast to Sam Bellamy on the anniversary of the sinking of the Whydah. Be sure and look for us at the NorCal Pirate Festival and the Port Washington Pirate Festival, both this June!
