Find The Perfect Soundtrack For Your Pirate Adventures!

If you're embracing the day, you just can't go wrong with a pocket full of great pirate tunes. My personal recommendations include Last Saskatchewan Pirate by Captain Tractor, Frigging in the Rigging (ever-so-slightly NSFW) by The Sex Pistols, and the entirety of Captain Morgan's Revenge by Alestorm.

Alestorm easily earns my vote as "best pirating music." Their self-proclaimed Scottish Pirate Metal will put a swagger in your step only a peg leg can rival.

Now, where to find these tasty tunes? The following sites will let you download or stream a boatload of music.


Tagoo is my personal favorite. Since my initial review, I've been totally hooked. I like being able to create a playlist at home, sign in at work, and stream all my tunes to the workbench. Well, all the ones that are still available anyways.

Skreemr is another good site, and is similar to Tagoo. Search for a track, rate it, buy it from Amazon. Skreemr even provides an "audiorank" for files, which gives you some idea about the quality before you download or stream it.

Seeqpod has a much fancier interface, but it's a little bit slower than the first two. Still, it works well, and it's got some nice additional features.

And don't forget about Last.FM - it's a good option as well. Just tell it to start playing artists like Alestorm and you'll be ready to batten down the hatches and hoist the mizzenmast!

It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
