Like it or not, pirates have infiltrated Halloween to a large degree. I blame those horrible movies with Johnny Depp, but that's neither here nor there. I only mention this as an excuse for including this next video in my series of increasingly infrequent Halloween blogs.
Scotland's Alestorm play a mix of heavy metal and sea shantys, complete with pirate-y vocals. It's absolutely ridiculous, and I don't think I could stand to listen to a whole album's worth all at once, but this video for "Keelhauled" from their most recent album Black Sails at Midnight is a hoot, and the song is kind of catchy.
A questionable stew of 70s and 80s pop culture, schlock cinema, comic books, and rock & roll.
