I am in love. Today while cruising the web I discovered Captain Dan & The Scurvy Crew (via Indie Parade blog). They’re a highly amusing novelty hip hop crew with a pirate theme. If you’re into Paul Barman or Kool Keith or Ugly Duckling, you will find these guys delightful. Even if you’re not normally a novelty rap fan, you kind of have to admit that pirate rappers make sense. I mean pirates are the original gangstas, no? For your viewing pleasure, there are even videos!

Sadly, their Myspace indicates that they won’t be in my town any time soon so I will have to stick to interweb stalking them for now. What’s all the more disappointing is that my enthusiasm for show-going has been weak these days, and pirate rappers are obviously what I need to get back into gear. Hopefully these guys will be going on a lengthier tour in the near future.
