Pirate music video remix contest, mateys!
Because kidnapping and killing people on the high seas is exactly the same as sharing music(videos) with your friends!
- The remixes/mash-ups should feature at least 10 seconds of recognizeable pirates (the traditional ARRR MATEY sea-going pirates). The entire video doesn't have to be pirates, but there should be a few clips to remind people that this is in fact a pirate party.
- The music needs a beat that people can groove to. Extra points if the music is plunderphonics or otherwise exercises your fair use rights, but the primary requirement is that the music be danceable.
- The music video should be placed somewhere online where we can download it, in a format that VLC can play. MP4 or MOV will work fine.
- The deadline is April 21st.
The Pirate Parrrty will be held on Saturday, April 22nd, 10pm-2am, at the Upper Tarble, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA, 19081; there will be costumes, remixes, eyepatches, and ARRRR.

Adam and the Ants music videos
A stroll down memory lane...way back to the early eighties. Adam and the Ants with some of their biggest hits...anno 1980-1982. All of their songs were written by Adam Ant (real name Stuart Leslie Goddard) and Marco Pirroni...Adam later persued an acting career and had some moderate success in various movies and tv-series. He's been trying to get a comeback, but haven't really succeeded. In 2000 he was hospitalized due to a nervous break down..he'd been waving a gun at some folks. As far as I know he doing fine now and is back in the recording studio. He’s been working with Boz Boorer...who played the guitar and co-wrote some of the tracks ("Now My Heart is Full", "Spring-Heeled Jim", "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get", "Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning", and "Speedway") on Morrissey's insanely great album "Vauxhall and I"...
Pirroni went on to work with Sinead O'Connor among others...I believe he's a producer now.
Enjoy!
