Accordion Noir radio playlist 2016-11-09: Woke Up This Morning

AccNoir 2016-11-09

When the dust settles, we return to our tasks because accordions that are not busy being squeezed are busy mouldering.

Today needs more accordion.

In case you missed it live on the air, you can enjoy last night’s episode of Accordion Noir that Bruce cooked up for you (in a no doubt black mood) by downloading a recording courtesy of the Internet Archive.  Here is its playlist:

Though we go on the radio but once a week (it’s clearly not frequently enough, the longer we run this program, the larger our backlog of “to-play” music becomes), you can hear from us more often over social media, where you can feel the pulse of Accordion Twitter through our RTs at @AccordionNoir and @AccordionBruce. Alternately, you could join the picture party through our Instagram account @Accordionnoirfest, and for everyone else there’s always our Facebook groups for Accordion Noir fans, the Accordion Noir Festival, and the Vancouver Squeezebox Circle.

It’s no coincidence we’ve never felt so old before — our 10th anniversary is nigh upon us! In a week and a day we’re holding a commemorative concert in celebration of the occasion! We should, uh, post more about it here very, very soon! But if you’re too far away to attend, you can at least send us a cover recording of our theme song to help join in and play a part in the festivities. Consider it!

København update:

Busker in front of the 7-11 was playing “My Heart Will Go On” on his accordion yesterday. Today he was playing “Hurt”
