It’s that time again… time to share the online link of digital audio of the previous night’s new hour-long Accordion Noir radio broadcast! I don’t believe that Bruce was trying to go for any particular or specific theme in this playlist beyond “butt-kickin’ squeezebox music in every style from around the world” — you know, the usual. You can enjoy listening to it over here at your convenience, and to get you primed… here’s its playlist:

And we’re back into the Accordion Noir radio archives with episode number 73, another member drive fundraising special from 10 years back exploring the accordion’s use in the 1950s in the emergence of a strange new musical genre, an offshoot of western swing described as “rock ‘n roll”.

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2018-04-11: Spring Sprang
Spring has sprang and with the change in the weather (and then the change, and then the change… isn’t April grand?) comes a new mood winning over the heart of Accordion Noir programmer Bruce. Specifically, he seems to have been satisfied with his grand gesture all through March, and has once again assented to include accordion playing by men in our playlists. We’ll see if this isn’t just a phase. You can enjoy digital audio of the complete hour-long program of accordion music we aired last night — under 12 hours ago — by visiting this link… and to help enrich your enjoyment, please refer to the following playlist:

We’d built up to it — Accordion Noir radio episode number 72, dating to April 11th of the year 2008. Not just any episode, not just featuring our usual eclectic mix — instead, it was a member drive special, featuring an entire program built around sharing the multiple faces of accordion music around the continent of Africa. (And between you and me, it’s clear that one hour was just scraping the surface! Though it’s been put off ten years already, we clearly need to revisit this theme in the not-so-distant future.)
At its original online home it was enjoyed some 3770 times, but we hope that future generations of Afro-cordion scholars will enjoy our groundwork enjoying the sounds of this continent over at the Internet Archive. Now here, to help enhance your listening discovery, is its playlist:

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2018-04-04: April Foolin’
We didn’t broadcast on April Fool’s Day, but our nearest air date was April 4th which, being my birthday, still made for an excellent excuse to extend the folly mandate and spread a little squeezebox silliness out over the airwaves last night.

From the back vaults of accordion history, here’s episode number 71 of Accordion Noir Radio from way back in April of 2008, when we were getting serious about our annual fundraising obligations to our parent radio station CFRO Co-Op Community Radio 100.5 fm. At its original online home it was enjoyed some 15472 times, but with your help I bet we can meet or beat that total over the next ten years up at its new online home.

Bruce heard there was going to be a Women’s March and took it literally, programming each of our four episodes in the month of March 2018 — some four hours! — exclusively with music performed by the ladies of the accordion. Last night’s episode was no exception. (Well, actually I think that the Jerry Cans don’t properly belong on this playlist under that mandate, but… you can consider them the exception that proves the rule.) Which under-represented group will we shine the spotlight on next? (Traditionally we’ve achieved this with our member drive specials on fellow traveler underdog instruments such as banjo or bagpipes, but there are perhaps bigger systemic injustices to address in society beyond what one can hope to achieve with two hours of ukulele music on the radio.)
But I digress! You can enjoy listening to last night’s hour-long broadcast by clicking here for our growing collection of digital audio recordings at the Internet Archive. And if you need the deal sweetened, here’s a sneak preview (well, a preview of something that already aired, but probably is new to you, you know what I mean!) with the episode’s playlist:
