Accordion Noir radio playlist 2007-12-14: Bruce’s faves of 2007

AccNoir 2007-12-14

And we’re back with further selections from the Accordion Noir Classic vaults, 10 years ago.  This here is episode number 55 — following Rowan’s songs-of-the-year the previous week, Bruce picked his favorite tunes we’d aired during our first year.  (Bruce would switch format in subsequent years, making his annual best-of reflecting music released that year… but here at least, for the first time around, he stuck with the program.)  Little did Bruce realise that we’d end up hosting his beloved Iva Nova at our festival nine years down the line!

At its original online home, this episode of Accordion Noir Radio was downloaded 14308 times (you see where Rowan’s inferiority complex comes from, his picks a full seven times less popular!), and you can continue enjoying listening to it (leaving Rowan’s episode in the dust) at its new online home at the Internet Archive.  Here, to further enhance your enjoyment, is its playlist:
