Episode 18: Pirated Music

Ahoy, mateys, and welcome aboard the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight tunes from scoundrels and scallawags who let you share their music with yer shipmates.  I be cap'n Ralph Wacksworth, and today we be playin' pirated music.

Talk Like A Pirate Day (edited) (5:34)
Duet Musette (2:22)
South Australia (1:03)
Sailor's Hornpipe Medley (2:09)

That was a slightly edited version of Talk Like A Pirate Day by Tom Smith, the official song of Talk Like A Pirate Day.  It's available from his website at tomsmithonline.com and is graciously licensed by permission under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  I try to keep this podcast absurdly clean so it's safe for work environments and kids, but really you should probably just download that one directly.  It's incredibly mild.  Anyway, next up was Duet Musette by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was South Australia by Dead Parrot, which is available from SoundCloud and is graciously licensed by permission under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Finishing up was a slightly edited version of Sailor's Hornpipe Medley by Leopold Moeslein from 1906, which is available from archive.org and is licensed as Public Domain.

So, by now 'ye must 'av figgered why I be talkin' in this here daft accent, but in case 'ye haven't, allow me to shed some light.  On the 19th day of September of each year is Talk Like A Pirate Day, which happens to be this week.  So don yer tricorner hat and yer eye patches, 'er at least one of 'em, and celebrate your inner buccaneer!

And to the landlubbers out there who want to be pedantic and say "that's not what pirates were like", ye've been sailing under Captain Obvious for far too long.  If ye' think we'd actually be celebrating real bloody piracy, yer flightier than me parrot, and he ain't even real.  So belay that crazy talk and have some fun!

Today's app-of-the-day is vim.  It's a command-line text editor, and it runs pretty well everywhere, including on my phone.  It has a relatively easy-to-learn basic command set with a ton of more powerful commands and the ability to install all kinds of plugins.  It's available for Linux, BSD, AmigaOS, OS/2, Android, iOS, Windows CE, MorphOS, MacOS Classic, DOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and many more.  Download it today at vim.org

Now listen well to our short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors.  Then we'll get back to playin' ya some more music.

And with that, we be at the end of this here voyage.  Remember - the only good piracy's the fictional kind.  Anything else and ye be invitin' canonfire.  So don't be piratin' from unworthy opponents - replace 'yer music within sumpin' better.  Listen to open licensed music, share your booty with the artists, go see 'em, and barter some o' yer booty with artists who ain't shootin' at 'ya.  Help 'yer allies, don't feed the sharks who'd just as soon eat 'ya as look at 'ya.
