Accordion Noir playlist 2018-08-15: Almost Kimmo

AccNoir 2018-08-15

What precisely is the theme of this week’s episode of Accordion Noir Radio?  I’m going to level with you: often the theme is an afterthought.  Sometimes an overarching thread of commonality arises and emerges after the episode is broadcast, but more often than not no such thing occurs, and all we can say for certain is that we have another outstanding mix of alt-accordion music in several different genres representing several different musical traditions… isn’t that enough for you vultures?  I certainly hope so!

In any case, you can enjoy listening to tonight’s episode online courtesy of the Internet Archive.  If you need a compelling argument motivating you to click on that link, none more eloquent can be made than is presented by the episode’s playlist, below:
