Accordion Noir radio playlist: 2011-04-29: Almost May Day

AccNoir 2011-04-29

From ten years ago (give or take a few weeks, which as the blurb below reveals, was very in keeping with our somewhat lackadaisical podcast updating schedule at that time — by which standard we’re actually ahead of the curve now!), here’s episode 229 of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir program.  At its original online home it logged some 5053 listens, and  you can continue enjoying it as digital audio today courtesy of the Internet Archive.  Here’s its playlist:

AccNoir-2011-04-27, Almost May Day (now that it’s June)

(great deals on apologies here at Accordion Noir for how behind we’ve been on putting these shows up [ten years ago]. I’m afraid we’re faced with a deluge to catch up now. It’s been busy, but Rowan’s back from Europe and Bruce’s kids are out of town, so we should be posting like mad and overwhelming our podcast listeners. Save these up for a rainy day if you like.)

(also, sorry about the distortion on this show. The sound-levels weren’t working properly, or I wasn’t working them right. Either way, sorry.)

* Artist – Song – Album (year) – Where are they from? – Contact info if we’ve got it.
* I couldn’t resist the bit of Quentin Crisp from the tail end of our preceding Soundscapes show. If you want more, search for “In any way that required effort or style,” or some such. I hadn’t heard that in years. I think it’s from here: http://www.morgan-fisher.com/discogpages_e/miniatures.html
