Accordion Noir radio playlist 2017-06-21: Summer Soul
We got through a rainy Car Free Day with our seven hours of accordion music for the moist masses, which means that now we’ve officially crossed the solstice, friends! If you, like us, are in the Northern Hemisphere, that means that we’ve all just crossed into summer! And how better to celebrate than with an hour of soulful accordion music? (Listeners in the Southern Hemisphere, please cross out this episode’s title and call it: “Wonderful Winter”. Much obliged!) So here we are, offering you up this week’s episode of Accordion Noir Radio: you have your choice — you can listen, for a limited time (some 6 months) to a digital audio stream of the episode… or (for keeps) as a downloadable mp3 from the Internet Archive! And to help you along your way, whichever option you choose… here’s the playlist to this week’s episode!

There’s been some twisting and turning to get us here, but now we’re all caught up again, with this sharing of our Accordion Noir radio episode from … two weeks ago. Don’t ask! It made sense at the time. (And yes, thank you, our Car-Free Main stage, which Bruce described as “Guitar-Free Main”, was highly successful!) You can listen to the episode as a digital audio stream if you like, or if you prefer (highly recommended) you can go and help yourself to an MP3 download of the episode for keeps! Then there’ll be another fresh episode airing tonight, yow! In the meantime, here’s the playlist for the linked recent episode:

Accordion Noir Radio playlist 2017-06-14: Accordion Noir stage preview for Car-Free Main Street!
Greetings folks! To keep things timely, we’re lightly leapfrogging over last week’s broadcast in favour of prioritizing this week’s. I know, it sounds contradictory, but hear me out: this week’s episode of Accordion Noir Radio is a preview of performers you can catch live at our *FREE* (by donation) Accordion Noir stage at this year’s Car-Free Main Street festival Sunday, June 18, running at 21st and Main from noon to 7 pm. (If we aired last week’s episode now and this week’s episode next week, it would no longer serve as a preview, you see.) There are also some filler acts on the playlist (perhaps the only time Hamster Theatre will ever be described as “filler”) who you won’t be seeing on Sunday, but by listening to this week’s broadcast you can get a good feel for participating acts Katheryn Petersen, Ana Bon-Bon, the Creaking Planks, Barbara Adler, Robyn Carrigan and Geoff Berner! (For Der Royshiker Krokves and the Squeezebox Circle Orchestra, you’re just going to have to use your imagination.) And how would one listen to that broadcast you inquire? So glad you asked! You can enjoy the episode as a digital audio stream or you can take advantage of our preferred delivery mechanism, MP3 download from the Internet Archive. Now here’s the full playlist so you better know who and what to expect squeezing their heart out on the streets this Sunday afternoon!

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2017-05-31: Ta May
As we bid a fond farewell to the merry month of May, we do it with a song — all right, with a whole set of songs. OK, it was with a complete episode of Accordion Noir radio, much as we air every week… but this episode was aired this week, and that my friends… made all the difference. You can enjoy listening to it, for a limited time, as a digital audio stream from our parent radio station (and from the looks of things they’ve just reset the stream server, so probably all previous “digital audio stream” links are now permanently out of order!), or for more permanent and reliable listening, you can help yourself to an mp3 download of the episode from the Internet Archive.
