Accordion Noir radio playlist 2012-11-21: Rowan at the Helm!

From ten years ago, here’s episode 312 of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, squeezing the wildest alt-accordion musics from all around the globe out onto the airwaves.  Looking at the playlist and the episode title, I, your humble author [Rowan] must conclude that this was one of those weeks that, for whatever reason, the regular host Bruce was unavailable to hold down live on the air.  No worries, I didn’t live far from the station!  I had also run out of my personal stash of accordion music, but from the looks of things I leaned heavily on my wife’s iTunes library to provide the free reed tunes in this week’s broadcast.  If you missed it the first time around (or could simply benefit from a refresher), please feel welcome to enjoy listening to it again as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive.  Here’s its playlist:
