Seriously? And there’s a Vol 1? That’s just mental!!!
I can’t wait!
Hmm…wow? Sounds interesting..
I love Anjelica Huston. I wanna her her sing!
A pirate album seems like a very interesting concept for an album. And Courtney Love and Michael Stipe on a song together? Never would have seen that coming.
kicked off in true roaring style by Shane the wild man!
appears interesting–but too long, should be 1.5 instead of 2
and where’s the classic pirate song with Capt. Staley and Alice crew?
I hope some portion of the proceeds go to charity.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. What a bizarre project.
I’m more curious about the Iggy Pop and Marianne Faithful tracks than the rest.
