Accordion Noir radio playlist 2012-09-19: Post-fest with Guro
From ten years ago, here’s episode 304 of CFRO Co-Op Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir Radio program, proudly broadcasting some of the wildest and most out-there squeezebox music from the four corners of the map. On this occasion we had just wrapped up a major installment (the 5th!) of our annual Accordion Noir Festival, our creative director Katheryn Petersen having landed a major intercontinental headliner, Geoff Berner’s pal, Norway’s astounding Guro von Germeten, who was still around town long enough to join us live in the radio station following the festival! Bruce also took the opportunity to hype up a VIFF screening of the Kimmo Pohjonen documentary Soundbreaker, but don’t bother calling in for the free tickets — you missed your screening! If you somehow failed to listen to it the first time around — you sure missed out! But fortunately, you can enjoy listening to this episode again as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Because we had so many irons in the fire, this episode went without a complete playlist for an entire decade, but because we believe in our archival content, we have painstakingly gone back and connected the dots. So now we can proudly announce that here, for the first time ever anywhere, is this episode’s complete playlist!

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2022-09-21: Making Our Way to Day
Photo taken by Cedric Wright. [Bruce notes: Great photo find Rowan. Who knew David Brower🌎 played 🪗?]
Another week, another episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, featuring some of the greatest squeezebox music ever recorded, in any style, from all over the surface of the planet Earth. I don’t perceive an obvious theme looking over the songs in this week’s episode, nothing that necessarily resonates with the title Bruce has assigned to it, but it is nonetheless packed with heavy hitters. [Bruce notes: Truth, no didactic theme this week, just tunes that crossed my way.) If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to the episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive.

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2012-09-12: Accordion Noir Festival 2012 preview with Renee de la Prade
From ten years ago, here’s episode 303 of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, aired for our first time ever at our “new” spot on the dial, 100.5 fm. This episode was a stupendous promo reel for that year’s swell Accordion Noir Festival, featuring the Bay Area’s incredible Accordion Babe organizer Renee de la Prade joining us live in the studio! After allowing the recording to languish online with a fragmentary playlist documenting the contents of the episode, we have finally given it another close listen and filled in the blanks, presenting for the first time ever a complete accounting of the songs aired on this occasion. It was a good show! But don’t take my word for it, you can listen to it as digital audio via the Internet Archive. At long last, here’s its triumphally completed playlist:
(Presumed incomplete, not accounting for our live guests! Hopefully by 2022 we can get it straightened out!)

Accordion Noir 2022-09-14: Solidarity with Railroad Worker Accordionists
It was really difficult for me to resist tapping one of my Creaking Planks Tracks on Tracks photocollages from ten years ago,
but somehow I managed.
Locomotives and accordions were both recent inventions burgeoning during the 19th century, two great survivors of bygone eras. Sadly, rail barons are another holdover from those times, and as of press time, it appears as though all freight and passenger rail service in the United States is about to be rudely suspended in an attempt to circumvent labour action to help allow rail workers to live here in the 21st century with the rest of us. Bruce has made trains and rail the secondary theme of this week’s episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir Radio broadcast (yet again), so find your ticket and settle down in your berth, our musical departure is imminent. All aboard! If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to the episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive.

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2012-09-11: Frequency Swaptacular

A year and a half ago, Bruce’s oldschool alt-accordion idol Miss Murgatroid was involved in the making of a movie, A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff. We devoted an episode of our weekly radio broadcast to it. Now we have learned that it is hitting wider streaming release, and Bruce concluded that the best way of letting everyone know about its wider distribution was to rebroadcast that perfect hour of radio. [Improving on perfection, it’s remixed with updates on where to see the film, and a bonus Miss Murgatroid/Petra Haden track. ❤️🔥🪗 bruce ] If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to the episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive.

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2012-09-05: Rowan Banjoin’
From ten years ago, here’s episode 301 of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast. What are these scurrilous banjo allegations relating to? I don’t know, we had just done our Banjo Noir underdog instrument special the year before, but it does fall outside our usual scope. Or was Laughin’ Bruce just making some humorous rhyming free association? This far after the fact, it’s unlikely we’ll ever know for sure just what was going on.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic spun up and musicians’ opportunities to earn their daily bread at live gigs dried up, we’ve been championing the first regular, then sporadic spree of Bandcamp Fridays offered by that digital music storefront, granting one day per month where artists can collect nearly the full revenue from their music sales, realms beyond the earnings offered by leading streaming alternatives. The tradition lost its way earlier this year, following Bandcamp’s head-scratching acquisition by Epic Games, but it seems that just as school is back in session, Bandcamp Fridays are, once again, back on. Consequently, we will continue building episodes of our weekly alt-squeezebox radio program around squeezy offerings available for sale in their catalogue, encouraging you to financially support your languishing accordion heroes directly. If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to the episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:
AccNoir–2022-08-31, Bandcamp Friday is This!
This Friday Sept 2nd is once again Bandcamp Friday! 100% of the profits from your purchases goes straight to artists. Among the best ways to get music from your favorite bands besides handing them your wallet in person.
Future Bandcamp Fridays in 2022, Oct 7, Nov 4, & Dec 2:
https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/bandcamp-fridays-update
“If you’ve started to feel guilty about buying music on any other day of the month, here’s something to keep in mind: on Bandcamp Fridays, an average of 93% of your money reaches the artist/label (after payment processor fees). When you make a purchase on any other day (as millions of you have, with close to $1 billion now paid directly to artists), an average of 82% reaches the artist/label. Every day is a good day to support artists on Bandcamp!”

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2012-08-29: Babies Stolen Here
From ten years ago, here’s episode 300 of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast. I see an interview with Kingston’s “Music Maul” here, plus the nod to the LA accordion metal band Stolen Babies, but all in all I think it’s just another specimen of the great mixes that we produce on such a regular and ongoing basis! You can give it another listen (or who knows, possibly you missed it the first time around) as streaming digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:

“Heat” is the musical theme that Bruce was working with when plotting out last night’s hour-long episode of CFRO’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast! I looked for images of the hot wax apparatus used to effect reed repairs inside the instrument, but it looks like they’re trade secrets. Rest assured the playlist is lively and diverse, as per our usual!
