Accordion Noir radio playlist 2020-12-02: 14th Anniversary Show

It’s a birthday cake, shaped like a button accordion. Presumably its flavour is somewhere between the two.

Last night’s hour-long episode of Accordion Noir radio is now up and available to be enjoyed by online listeners as well! It marks 14 wild years of weekly broadcasts since our first unlikely hour on the radio in the middle of the night, yow! Bruce would like to stress that you could do your favorite musician a solid favour by buying their music for Christmas, especially from Bandcamp, specifically this Friday, when they waive their cut of the fee. All of the tracks in this episode are available for sale through that avenue. (If you’d like to give some other musical presents this holiday season, we’ve got you covered.)

Bruce adds: This is a particularly wonderful set of tunes. Bandcamp is rich with great accordion music as more and more bands move there. Get some of that tomorrow, Dec, 2 on Bandcamp friday when 100% of profits go to artists!

If your Apple or Android podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to its availability yet, you can enjoy listening to this week’s episode as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:
