Last week we released Good Ship Ragamuffin (as part of Uncharted, the latest from Pieces of Eight).
Sorry if you've not been able to stop humming it.

A graphic showing the third Piece of Eight placed near the edge of a map on a table. The table is a roughly hewn greyish-brown wood, while the map is a ragged, frayed piece of parchment with the top left corner (the only corner visible) folded over a little. On it are depictions of clouds and waves, and the coastline of some unknown land. In the centre is a giant image of a compass star, which sits beside the tarnished metal triangle of the coin section. This piece itself shows what appear to be mountains, and perhaps a small section of a skull that just includes the top part of an eye socket.

Sometimes it's a Wednesday and you're digging through the old folders of silly things you made because your brain autocompletes funny and wouldn't let you sleep until it was real. Enjoy.

Today in Labor History April 23, 2019: The Hpakant jade mine collapsed in Myanmar, killing four miners and two rescuers. Hpakant is the largest jade mine on Earth. Jade pickers are often migrants from other parts of the country. They live in dilapidated shacks and work as “freelancers,” scavenging through the tailings for small pieces of jade. On July 2, 2020, a landslide at the mine killed 174 miners. The landslide was the worst mining disaster in the nation’s history. The value of Myanmar’s jade industry is over $30 billion per year.

A picture of a gold-coloured circle, on a sandy background. The circle, a coin, is divided into eight segments, six of which are covered up but now two visible. The first section shows a slightly battered part circle in the middle, then a tarnished-looking section with a whale breaching above the waves. To the right of this, continuing on to the next section of the coin, a simple image of a tavern on a small patch of land, with a lone cloud in the sky behind it. This eighth is shown on a tatty wooden table.

A tour poster for the Longest Johns tour of Australia and New Zealand. It shows.. okay let's see how well I do here. There's a hot-air balloon in the sky, with three people in the basket underneath it. In the sky is a big, bright yellow circular sun with clouds in front of it that spell out "the longest johns". The balloon itself is spherical, but with a crudely-stitched-on duck head, wings, and legs. There is also some kind of blackbird pooping on the beak. Along the middle of the main body of the balloon is text saying "AUS + NZ TOUR '25" There is a banner running from the spherical body down to the basket, that has pennants with white triangles, or cartoon skull and crossbones, except for the last one which is an orange pair of long johns. Then in the basket are three figures in silhouette: one with a spyglass, one holding a mug, and one scratching his head whilst looking at a long, unravelling sheet of paper that has the tour dates on it. To see these dates, we recommend you go to thelongestjohns.com/live!A tour poster showing Robbie, Andy, and JD in front of a brick wall, and below text saying "The Longest Johns 2025 Pieces of Eight Unplugged Tour" It lists venues and dates as follows: 12.06 - Lyme Regis, Marine Theatre 13.06 - Falmouth, Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival 14.06 - Bruton, St Mary's 16.06 - Portsmouth, Wedgewood Rooms 17.06 - Milton Keynes, The Stables 18.06 - Sheffield, Crookes Social Club 19.06 - London, Cutty Sark 25.06 - Bath, Komedia

That's two of the Pieces of Eight now in your hands (Bandcamp is on its way!), so how are you enjoying it? Got a favourite so far? Something you're hoping to hear on a future collection?

A picture of the artwork for the Alehouse release from the Pieces of Eight collection. It shows a worn-looking table, a small section of a dull grey metal disc that may be a plate, the corners of two playing cards (a King of Diamonds and an Ace of Spades), and in the middle an eighth of a slightly tarnished gold coin. Embossed on it is the image of a simple little building, a tavern with a sign jutting out from the wall above the door, and a lonely cloud in the sky above it.
