League of Space Pirates Album Release

The project I have been working on the hardest since the completion of my original Skull-A-Day project is the collaborative science fiction universe League of Space Pirates. 

Now after 7 long years of work our first album has come out! Precognitive Universe of Emergent Desire is 13 tracks of 80s inspired electronic rock made by a band of anti-corporate outlaws 500 years in the future!

The album is available on pretty much any digital music service you can imagine. Here are a few links to easy ways to listen and buy the tracks right now...

• Bandcamp
• SoundCloud
• Spotify
• Amazon
• CD Baby

And for those of you (like me) who still like a tactile product to go with their music I've made a limited run of CDs which you can purchase directly from me HERE.

Thanks for listening!

Keep sending those pictures in, we always love seeing what our skull hunters find. Anyone is welcomed to participate, it's fun and it's easy- if you see a simulacra skull, photograph it and send those pictures in to our submissions address with a little something about what it is really and maybe a little about you.

[Flashback Friday] 5.20- Today in Skull History

Welcome to another addition of Flashback Friday.** This year the guest editors, Tatman, Azurafae, and myself, Citizen Agent, are taking turns reflecting on 17 of our personal favorite skulls from the previous four years of postings. So please join us as we visit the archives and add our additional commentary on some of the original pieces.

Today’s Flashback I wanted to look back on what was posted on this date of each year since Skull-A-Day started and discovered that the Skullmaster’s art by coincidence is connected by this day.

First up from 2007 is an Original 365.25,of course, 140. Body Skull

2008 he showed off 367. Letterpress Skull one of the Skullmaster’s Bonus pieces in which he still continues to post past the 365.25.


In 2009 we were shown how Diane in California adapted his free 232. Stylized Stencil Skull to make a point. (Read the story HERE.)


And last in 2010 was the announcement that 347. Skulledelic A.K.A. May Cause Seizures Skull made its way onto the cover of the League of Space Pirates’ first digital release: The Hypertrophy EP and 10" Vinyl single.

5.C says:

Thank you for the memorable years, and through your inspiring leadership you have encouraged so many others into beginning their own 365 projects.

**Flashback Friday was a weekly countdown of the fan selected top 52 skulls of Skull-A-Day 1.0. Each week during year 3.0 The Skullmaster posted the original skull along with some additional commentary in order from lowest to highest rated, with the #1 skull appearing in the last week of year 3.0, all 52 can be found here. During year 4.0 the editors had their chance to countdown their favorites Azurafae HERE, Citizen Agent HERE, and Tatman HERE.

“Countdown To Halloween”
10 more days and counting...
