I love how the first playlist is basically just the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, with a healthy dose of Skyrim thrown in.
The music is basically...pirated.

I have to try this. I'm going to make playlist of sea shanties, Alestorm, and Captain Dan & the Scurvy Crew and move it to the top of my "get stuff done" folder.
