Accordion Noir radio playlist 2010-08-04: Komatic Live In The Studio, Bringin’ The J Note!
Ten years ago, we aired Accordion Noir radio episode 190, featuring a live appearance by the hot (once Victoria, then) East Vancouver(, ultimately Winnipeg) busking combo named “Komatic” after the surname of its accordionist. At its original online host, it was enjoyed some 7261 times, but you can continue enjoying it as digital audio via the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:
AccNoir-2010-08-04, Komatic: Live in the Studio, Bringin’ the “J note!”
Show opener: lead-in from the SoundScape folks who precede us on the air. They were doing a Pauline Oliveros special, and how could we exclude that? Thanks y’all!

Hire them! MackPinchbeck@hotmail.comThis episode’s cover: Sadly the boys bailed before I could get a picture of their sweet dog for our cover-thing. So, the cover for tonight is the Skull Accordion Strap hand-jiggered from a guitar-one when the old boring accordion one broke. It’s the rebirth of accordion strap fashion. A fellow at our Vancouver Squeezebox Circle did it (didn’t catch his name?) I gotta get me some. We should market them as fundraisers.
Holllly! We could make “One Less Guitar” accordion straps! That’d be sooo cool! Oh, man, this has to happen.
Thanks Komatic for the chance to have this idea!

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2020-08-05: Squeezebox Circle Thursday and Bandcamp Friday
This week is our monthly “Squeezebox Circle” gathering, which takes place the first Thursday of every month! Historically it’s elapsed among the radical bookshelves of Spartacus Books, but in pandemic times we hold it in the open air at MacLean Park. It has a monthly e-mail newsletter that also keeps people posted regarding local accordion affairs of all kinds, and you can sign up to it here if you like the sound of that…
… but not only is it Squeezebox Circle Thursday, but Bruce has cannily noticed it is Bandcamp Friday coming up again — another opportunity for independent recording artists to bear the full brunt of your generosity without any middlemen taking their cut. Of the two events, the latter more completely informs this week’s selection of songs on this episode of our radio program. If you haven’t already been notified by your Apple or Android podcast subscription, you can enjoy listening to this episode as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:

This post celebrates an episode of our weekly CFRO alt-accordion radio progam from ten years ago, but as it pertained to material from the turn of the (previous) century, the recording is still just about as timely as it ever was! Here in Accordion Noir episode #189, Bruce looked at some of the earliest squeezebox recordings ever made, as recorded and played on (and then digitized from) Edison wax cylinders. At its original online home this episode achieved a total of some 5893 listens, but given its perennially anachronistic topic, we expect it will continue to attract a lot of attention going forward from historians eager to listen to yesterday’s sounds of today, tomorrow! You can hear it as digital audio right here, and here’s its playlist:
AccNoir-2010-07-28, Cylinder Recordings from the Future!
All tonight’s music is from actual cylinder recordings from near the turn of the last century (1904-1922). Please go to the University of California Santa Barbara’s “Cylinder Digitization Project” to access their full collection of these and many more recordings. They beautifully remind us of both the permanence and the fragility of culture, art and memory. We hope in the near future to submit a short “Squeezeboxes on Cylinder” article to their website about our favourites from their collection of over eighty accordion/concertina recordings.
University of California Santa Barbara’s “Cylinder Digitization Project” – http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/.
In advance I should apologize for any technical mishaps on this show. We could blame it on the vintage equipment, but I think it was the younger members of our technology-team that might have caused trouble. Sorry for any issues with hearing me or the music. All the cylinders are available in pristine antiquity from the folks at (again): http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/. Get your share of love from 1898!

Congratulations, everyone! Coming at you a day early, here’s this week’s pre-recorded episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir program! I can see that programmer Bruce (whose latest round of care packages have recently been well received, place your orders now!) loosely arranged it around a summer theme, so we can try to seasonally enjoy ourselves in the great outdoors as best we can even in the face of pandemic and unrest (all mere sideshows to the climate change revolution also underway, but one crisis at a time!)
And because I knew you’d want to know… some good news, for a change — based on the vote conducted last week, our accordion emoji is the fourth-most-anticipated new arrival from 2020’s batch of new emoji!

What does an emoji sound like? … yeah, your guess is as good as ours. But soon, the accordion emoji we have discussed at such great length (as is our right, as the applicants for its approval!) will be going live on various online platforms. There’s a little vote going around to determine which new emoji people are most excited to see arrive, and we’re hoping we can get you all to send in a ballot on behalf of the humble squeezebox!
Anyhow, that doesn’t have much to do with this week’s episode of our hour-long weekly CFRO radio program, except that they are both entirely concerned with accordions! The program is of our typical mix, flitting lightly from style to style and visiting many different parts of the world. If you haven’t already been notified by your Apple or Android podcast subscription, you can listen to it as digital audio right here. Here’s its playlist:
