Accordion Uprising

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2011-10-19: Hurdy Gurdy Noir (part I) with Bev Dobrinsky of Zeellia

October 25, 2021

Hallowe’en is around the corner, so it’s time to conceal our identity and dress up in some kind of disguise. When this time of year rolled around ten years ago, we hid ourselves in plain view by indulging our Fall Member Drive tradition of giving our program up to a fellow underdog instrument, one that didn’t have a radio program devoted to it every week. Thus, I bring you episode 255 of CFRO’s weekly Accordion Noir radio program: Hurdy-gurdy Noir. (Part I!!!) This installment featured our very knowledgeable live guest Beverly Dobrinsky of the Ukrainian vocal ensemble Zeellia. At its original online home, this recording logged some 5429 listens, but can enjoy it today as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:

Accordion Noir 2021-10-20: The Return of the Living Drone (Pre-Fund Drive Special)

October 21, 2021

by unwashedmass

AccNoir 2021-10-20

Drone Piece In Memory of ______ (2020), an 18-minute bonus track

Almost a year after our nearly-four-hour episode The Night The Drone Stood Still, in conjunction with our neighbours at the Soundscape program, Bruce decided it was time to revisit that well, whose level had hardly gone down after having a mere 240 minutes skimmed off of it. Tonight’s sequel features a further three hours from the drone file tonight. (Will this become an annual tradition? In one fell swoop, it makes drone one twentieth of our annual output!) For those of you who enjoy long, contemplative, meditative listening sessions… this episode is for you! Find a comfortable chair to listen to it in, and maybe be sure to take a break every 90 minutes to keep the blood circulation going in your legs! If your Apple or Android 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 2021-10-13

Yesterday’s episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast is out! I see French and Spanish in the titles of the songs we aired, and I see tunes clearly telegraphed as belonging to the klezmer and celtic genres… in short, it’s another brilliant mix of our trademark international melange! (Not at all the creepy milieu I evoke with this episode’s title and image… sorry, I’m in a seasonal mood.) I understand it also stands in memory of Tony MacMahon, who Bruce tells me had his name said out loud several times in this episode, possibly not correctly once. (Apologies!) In any event, if your Apple or Android 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 2021-09-29: Civil-Disobedience in Canada, and Bandcamp Friday!

September 30, 2021

by unwashedmass

AccNoir 2021-09-29

Nothing to do with Civil DIsobediance in Canada actually, but we take what we can get.

Bruce is at it again: there is an injustice going on somewhere in the world (well, in our backyard), and even though his platform is optimised for delivering accordion music, specifically, he is commandeering it to share his strong and worthwhile feelings on the matter with a wider audience. The first few songs in tonight’s episode appear to be pertinent to the matter (for elaboration, read on) — then he changes gears into promotion of this Friday being a #BandcampFriday, an opportunity to financially support the recording artists of #AccordionBandcamp. It’s all great music! Great music and great politics, what’s not to like? The way the world is going, this may necessarily become the dual new theme for every future episode. Anyway, if your Apple or Android 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. Here’s its playlist:

AccNoir-2021-09-29: Civil-Disobedience in Canada, and Bandcamp Friday! (Oct 1)

Tomorrow Sept 30, is the first annual “Truth and Reconciliation Day” in Canada. A national holiday recognizing the murder of untold thousands of Indigenous children as part of Canada’s national “Residential School” program of cultural genocide:

Meanwhile, the Canadian government continues its abuse of Indigenous rights and of all future generations with massive globally-impacting resource-extraction projects:

clearance

From ten years ago, here’s episode 248 of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, featuring the best alt-accordion music from around the world, in every style. Or, in this case, the best alt-squeezebox music from every corner of the second-largest country in the world. Once in a while we do an all-CanCon special to help fortify our average Canadianosity, or because SOCAN has specifically arranged to scrutinize our programming on a given date, hence this particular set of songs. At its original online home it logged some 4989 listens, but you can continue enjoying it today as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2021-09-22: Oh September

September 23, 2021

AccNoir 2021-09-22

“Outfit: Fresh for Autumn”, a timeless look from ten years ago.

Hello and welcome to this week’s episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, sharing the greatest alt-squeezebox tunes in history from all over the world! Greetings to our contingent of new listeners from the Underground BBS Discord! Our regular DJ Bruce (Bruce, do you have an underground club DJ name? Mine was Mix Master Mud!) had a few things on his mind this week — the changing of the month and turning of the season, certainly, as well as the ongoing ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic’s 4th wave (represented by Geoff Berner’s new filk) and … Bruce Springsteen. Well, why not? He also wanted to share a story with you about the Pixies song his co-host (me, Rowan) performed live on the air nearly 15 years ago, after learning that it’s been rattling around in the brain of one of his neighbours ever since, but didn’t quite manage to squeeze it in this week. (I bet that makes this aside a sneak preview for next week’s episode!) If your Apple or Android 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. Here’s its playlist:
