War: what is it good for? If I told you “great accordion music”, you wouldn’t believe me, but now you don’t have to. Either way, I’d happily do away with accordion in a heartbeat if it also brought an end to war, but sadly it doesn’t work that way. In any case, Bruce found himself […]

Bruce has… a lot of accordion music. He has so much of it that if he so cared to, he could just cruise by the “B” section of his alphabetised song library, and come up with an entire episode of our program simply by selecting a consecutive subset of all the songs in his collection […]

Long time coming gathering works for another episode of drone, experimental and noisy squeezebox to stretch your listening ears! This is a fine set of tones indeed as we did four years in the past five now. And we hope to continue the tradition if we can keep gathering enough material: If you know any […]

Hey all! This week Accordion Noir co-host and podcast upload coordinator Rowan is globetrotting with his family in sunny Italy! Which we celebrate in tonight’s playlist with a set of mostly Italian tunes. (With a few “Romantic” ones by Canadians because that seemed enough of a connector.)

Here we go again! When live music venues shut down at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, we stepped up looking for ways to financially support our favorite (squeezebox) musicians deprived of performance income — and Bandcamp’s “we waive our cut of the revenues” Bandcamp Fridays made them the most efficient way to take money […]

Relax, everybody! The world, well, the world is still in turmoil but at least we can testify that it is full of accordion music, and if you can take a moment to listen to some of it you might have a chance to enjoy a moment of cosmic connection and unity with your fellow humanity, […]

Hello, everyone! Our host Bruce was required to rearrange the contents of his apartment this week, yielding this curious playlist of squeezy tunes about moving both stuff and things.  On the one hand, accordions are heavy. (On the bright side, Bruce doesn’t have a Cordovox collection instead!) If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly […]

If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions […]
