Accordion Noir radio playlist 2017-01-11: SOCAN You See?

AccNoir 2017-01-11

Starting with last week’s episode, we get to combine two flavours of delivering radio episodes to you: all of the contemporary episodes we’ve been serving up as digital audio streams, while all of the historical, archival shows have been provided as downloadable MP3s. For the first time, we offer both simultaneously! You can enjoy our January 11, 2017 radio episode as an audio stream or, for the benefit of our friends on mobile devices, as a downloadable MP3. In the long run, what this means is that we’ll be able to fire up the podcast engine again and begin automatically serving up new episodes to you as they happen, rather than our having to get your attention on a week by week basis and lure you on over to the audio link. Sorry, this is a bit of wonky insider baseball to lead the post off with, but what it amounts to is a return to being able to deliver more accordion music to more people more reliably, for longer! We’ll once again be able to measure our online listenership in thousands rather than dozens. But baby steps.

It was a fun episode with a distinctly Canadian bent. Regular host Bruce was joined by his behind-the-scenes colleague (and, for the duration of his broken shoulder, chauffeur) Rowan, and we delivered an episode full of Canadian squeezebox. We’ll return our focus to the rest of the world this week! (Our focus: it excludes squeezebox music played on other planets, apparently. Hey, that rules out a lot!) Playlist follows:

Bruce demonstrates just how DJing with a broken shoulder is done on tonight’s episode of Accordion Noir radio 📻 … a technique you can also observe in action among superstar DJs everywhere without any such excuse.
