Digital Ink Los Angeles

September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Aaaarrgggh, matey. Have a swill of the mush and gimme yer booty! Make a swearin’ to the holy Capt’n, then off with yer head!

Digital Ink Los Angeles endorses the famous New Orleanian Jean Laffite into the Pirate Hall of Fame.

A New Orleans landmark still stands on the corner of Bourbon Street and St. Philip — in the Vieux Carre’ section of the French Quarter neighborhood — as remembrance of pirate lore from yester-years. Jean Laffite’s Blacksmith Shop was a place where gris-gris, voodoo, black-market commerce, and pirate legends were commonplace and encouraged.

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is the name of the fourth album from the French Disco Funk band from Versailles, named Phoenix.

Phoenix is Thomas Mars, Deck D’Arcy, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz. Their sound emerged from the 90s club-scene in Paris (think Air and Daft Punk).

Phoenix’s lead singer, Thomas Mars, is married to Sofia Coppola. Their hit single, “1901,” has been the heavy-rotation club remix of the summer.
