Accordion Noir radio playlist 2017-12-20: Solstice Noir

AccNoir 2017-12-20

As you just saw, ten years ago we did a Christmas music special in December… and some traditions it makes sense to perpetuate.  (When else would you suggest we run an episode of Christmas music?)  So here’s our broadcast from this week, which you can listen to online as an audio stream.  And to enhance your seasonal buzz, you can play along at home by reading the playlist, so you’ll know what you’re hearing.
