Auregan Strikes Again

Bilge — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:37:21 +0000

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Auregan – the fetching-yet-tough-as-nails French siren that makes tricorns look fashionable. But she recently released her single 1798 (available on iTunes) along with a music video:

One video, four different flavors of our piratey French songstress – one of which appears to be undead. I don’t speak Frenchy, so I can only guess at the meaning of the lyrics – I assume they’re about me, and I’m quite flattered.

Dragon Speech hires Blackbeard as Spokespirate

Ok, they didn’t hire the ACTUAL Blackbeard, because he doesn’t come cheap. But they hired a presentable lookalike.

And now, by the Law of Genre Assimilation (Jack Sparrow says “savvy” so now all pirates say “savvy”, De Niro played an airship pirate, so now steampunks are are piratey, Barbossa gets a pegleg and pirate-enthusiasts all buy hacksaws, etc), speech recognition software should henceforth be incorporated into every pirate persona. Make it so.

OMG I’m on TV!!!

Well, I’m on YouTube, anyways While in Miami this past summer, Maria de Los Angeles of the blog Sex and the Beach was kind enough to take a few moments to chat with me.

‪Bundaberg Rum Lays Out the Weird

Bilge — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 16:13:18 +0000

‪Sadly, my marsupial friends from down under tell me Bundaberg is a less than stellar rum. But at least their ads are never… dull. I think we’re approaching “weird for the sake of weird” for this one, I gotta say.

‪The Dread Crew of Oddwood Music Video

Bilge — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:37:22 +0000

‪When I first saw the Dread Crew of Oddwood perform, I immediately realized they weren’t so much a band as gods among men. This video nicely captures their awesomeness, and then some. With muppets.

Oh, it does contain a naughty word. You probably shouldn’t have watched that at work, huh?

Sorry, but when I saw this I squealed ~~like a schoolgirl~~ like a boss.
