Music / Crickets Avast, dude

Those of you who like to enjoy your sunburn grooves in luxury will be happy to know that the decadent entity known as Jam Cruise has announced the lineup for its sixth voyage, departing in January from Ft. Lauderdale with ports of call in Honduras and Mexico. It's not a bad bill: Michael Franti & Spearhead, the Funky Meters, Yonder Mountain String Band, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Toots & the Maytals, Soulive, and more. You'll be able to feel Ken Kesey vibrating in his grave, even on the water. Registration opens in early June.
No doubt this is lots of people's idea of a good time. Not me. Any fellow folks out there of a more, er, aggro bent—punks, metalheads, noise junkies, heavy-psych freaks—interested in puttin' together a pirate crew to challenge and pillage this fat-ass target? Should we meet 'em under the black flag and buckle their noodly swashes good, or wait till they're laid low by the chronic cruise-ship craps?

um, captn obvious seems to think that only white people like punk, metal, noise & psych and only brown people like funk, r&B, & whatever michael franti's new project is. maybe C.O. should start with reading http://www.roctober.com/roctober/blackpunk1.html roctober's research on black people in punk/hardcore/new wave in the late 70s early 80s. & then come to this loud music midnight cruise (didn't someone try this in town a few years ago?) so we can all show you over the rail... but that's just obvious
