Accordion Noir radio playlist 2009-10-24: Libations for the Baritone Saxophone Nation
Ten years ago, we were very busy! We had our festival, there was Hallowe’en, and as part of the Autumn Member Drive we had one of our “underdog instrument” specials, where we turned an episode (number 151?) over to another instrument that may not get the respect it deserves. Just because it doesn’t have a weekly radio program dedicated to it doesn’t mean that it can’t at least feature for a single week! This time around it was the baritone saxophone, as curated by the Creaking Planks’ resident low end Peg-Leg Right-eye Ryan, aka Cap’n Jack Spare-ribs. The Planks were playing a gig down the street at the Rickshaw that night, and ducked out during intermission to present this episode before sneaking back for part II. Multitasking! At its original online host (also provided courtesy of that very same helpful saxophonist!) it logged some verified 8729 listens, and as usual we hope that moving it along to the Internet Archive, where you can listen to it today, will ensure that it meets and surpasses that total in the fullness of time. Here’s its playlist:

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2019-11-06: World Accordion and Tango Festival and then some!
There’s an accordion festival coming to the area. I know what you’re thinking — but it’s not ours! (Ours is also coming, one week later. What I mean is… it’s not only ours.) For years BC’s pleasant capital of Victoria has offered up their perfectly pleasant Accordions By The Sea festival on an annual basis, but now that Jelena and Alex Milojevic are fully settled there, they have injected it with a steroid booster, transforming it into the World Accordion and Tango Festival, starting… well, last night, and running through this weekend! Not only is it turning Victoria into a Mecca of world-class accordion performance (and world-class accordion scholarship — Bruce is doing a reading there from his book Accordion Revolution!), but it is also producing a few events across the water here in Vancouver this weekend as well! You can check out its schedule here for a sampling of its not-to-be-missed programming.
This week’s hour-long episode of Accordion Noir radio focuses on these nearby events. If for some reason you’re not yet getting notified of new episodes through your Apple or Google podcast subscriptions, you can enjoy listening to last night’s episode courtesy of the Internet Archive.

Another year, another Hallowe’en episode. Is any instrument so well suited to the seasonal eeriness as a demented squeezebox grinding a broken circus tune? (You, in the back, with the theremin: sit down.) Bruce reached down to the bottom of his Pandora’s Box for creepy, kooky, and downright ooky accordion music selections to air on tonight’s episode, including selections representing Geoff Berner’s imminent Nov 1st performance at the WISE Hall of The Trombonik Returns to New Chelm and the launch of his new album GRAND HOTEL COSMOPOLIS. Also mixed in to the playlist you can find Finland’s astounding VILDÁ, incoming soon to Victoria’s Accordion and Tango festival and indeed our own Accordion Noir Festival in just a couple of weeks!

From ten years ago, here’s episode number 150 of our weekly hour-long Accordion Noir radio program at CFRO Co-op Community Radio, 100.5 fm! They are just wrapping up their fall member drive, but we should include future-proof links on how to support our hosts, because in any future in which they are still a going concern, they will still be listener-supported. But I digress! Also tied to near-current events, while we will be presenting the 12th annual installment of our Accordion Noir Festival in just a couple of weeks, it makes sense that 10 years ago we were celebrating its second iteration. So this episode is full of field recordings from that event. At its original online host, it achieved a huge total of 9110 listens, and you can enjoy catching up with it today courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here is a fragmentary playlist of the recovered footage:

Note: Sorry this took so long to post here, Bruce was out of town for the original broadcast and we won’t go into the details because it got sordid from there, but we apologize and are happy to share it now. Some good stuff here!
