Accordion Noir radio playlist 2010-01-15: Play it again, Rowan
From ten years ago, here’s episode 162 of the weekly Accordion Noir radio program! From the looks of things, for some undoubtedly very legitimate reason, Bruce was unavailable, so Rowan needed to swoop in on short notice and hold down an hour of accordion radio. Rowan doesn’t have much of an accordion music collection — when he needs accordion music usually, he straps on his instrument and makes it — so this playlist is an eclectic mix of what he happened to have lying around topped up with a few bones he begged Bruce to send over. At its original online home, it accumulated some 10874 listens, but you can enjoy listening to it today, tomorrow and on into the indefinite future courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist!
AccNoir-2010-01-15, Play it again Rowan, while we step out.
I think we may have one more Accordion Babes Calendar,
and we always have Accordion Noir shirts!

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2020-01-15, Snow Day and Royalties
This week’s episode of Accordion Noir radio, which airs weekly from 10-11 pm at CFRO 100.5 fm Co-op community radio, carried a torch for two odd little themes for accordion music, celebrating yesterday’s visit of HRH the Dutchess of Sussex to the DTES Women’s Shelter basically right next door to CFRO… and acknowledging the thick, cold blankets of the white stuff burying everything in town over the past couple of days. So songs about royalty and snow.
And Bruce is at pains to point out: “Especial notice of my 8 minute ‘Radio-Play Concertina Remix’ of the 1936 film The Princess Comes Across (starts on our episode at 20:55). Or check out the whole film for yourself at: https://youtu.be/695YxbcXH7M

From ten years ago, here’s episode 161 of Accordion Noir radio, featuring the two charming young men — Jack and Martin — constituting the buzzing creative heart of East Van’s favorite cabaret band, Maria in the Shower. At its original online home it charted some 8613 listens, and at its new forever home at the Internet Archive its numbers will slowly creep up to and surpass that total someday. You can go listen to it there now (or indeed any time!) and if it helps to sell you on the idea, here’s the episode’s playlist:

OK, so it’s been an eventful first week of the new decade. Perhaps a little too eventful. Bruce is wondering if we can’t just press the air release valve and perhaps… take a do-over?

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2010-01-01: New Year’s Noir 2010
From ten years ago, here’s episode 160 of the Accordion Noir radio show, celebrating the start of a new year going out live actually on New Year’s Day. At its original online home it clocked some 9195 tracked listens, and you can continue incrementing the imaginary accumulator at its new online home at the Internet Archive, where you can listen to it as though it was 2010 again! The cover art features the fabulous Accordion Babes Pin-Up Calendar — naturally we have sold out of the 2010 edition, but Bruce still has several copies of the 2020 edition in stock, so if you’re intrigued by that most curious piece of merchandise, please do look him up! He’s a motivated seller. Now, on with the old music!
