I guess there’s been so much AI in the discourse lately, Bruce apparently generated this week’s Accordion Noir broadcast playlist using the assistance of an algorithm. But I understand it had been trained on his curation, so the mentality guiding the trajectory of this musical journey was that of a Virtual Bruce, if you will.  […]

So… our podcast schedule got disrupted by the Internet Archive hack late last year, and we never quite got caught up. But we can get closer. Here, today, I can share with you our incredible episode from the night before Halloween, 2024, our final broadcast before the world as we knew it ended. Yes: by […]

New week, new episode of the weekly Accordion Noir alt-squeezebox broadcast! New year, new edition of the Accordion Babes pin-up calendar! For the first episode of our program in the new calendar year, we shone the spotlight on the crop of talented babes populating the popular calendar/album this year, including an interview with local Accordion […]

As part of a Christmas miracle (sorry, I made that joke in the last write-up too, didn’t I?), this week’s episode of CFRO’s weekly Accordion Noir alt-squeezebox broadcast is somehow available online even before it airs on the radio. It absolutely is programmed with an eye to a seasonal sub-theme in the music selections, though […]

(This would have made for excellent cover art as well, but I opted to do the right thing and respect the stated copyright terms.) As you may recall, Bruce and I started the Accordion Noir broadcast way back in December of 2006 (18 years ago, yow! Bruce, we didn’t even observe the occasion, it got […]

In addition to sharing episodes of our alt-squeezebox broadcast from ten years ago and from a month ago, once in a while these days we also have the pleasure of sharing with you episodes of our weekly radio program from the same week in which it actually aired.  It’s a bit like living in the […]

A lot of ground work was required, but we are just about ready to unleash the motherlode of missing episodes dating to the Internet Archive disruption earlier this autumn. Hopefully we will have a chance to share them all and get caught up before the end of this year! Here is a recording of a […]

Apologies for the ongoing delays in getting our recent episodes online for the enjoyment of our podcast listeners! Here’s this week’s episode — it’s far from the first time we were shills for Bandcamp Friday, and hopefully it won’t be the last! We like the idea of recording artists getting a fair(er) shake at the […]

Better late than never, your squeezy host Bruce was very up front about the theme of this delayed October episode of our weekly program: other than containing accordion music, the only criterion was that it was made of up songs that he enjoyed. (I don’t imagine he programs many episodes filled with accordion music that […]

A few weeks ago, our podcast host at the Internet Archive went offline following a big hack. Since there, we’ve necessarily experienced a month of delays before being able to get the weekly episodes of our hour-long accordion music broadcast to you folks out there in cyberspace. (Hey, it’s not like we missed anything important, […]
