Please find attached this week’s fresh episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, where we share the greatest variety of squeezebox music from all over the planet! If I was challenged to interpret the theme of the Octoberpus I would decline… I know Bruce well enough at this point. I just […]

As the summer winds down (any minute now, right?) and we begin pointing toward the holiday season, here’s the first holiday for the music makers and music lovers in your life: Bandcamp Friday! We’ve covered the topic many times, but to reiterate: streaming music pays performers a pittance, and the Bandcamp platform — one Friday […]

What you do in September is your own business, but you’d better hurry it up if you hope to be done with it before October! Here’s our final episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir radio program for that month, a nice mix with a focus on a couple of local performances […]

Another week, another episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, featuring some of the greatest squeezebox music ever recorded, in any style, from all over the surface of the planet Earth. I don’t perceive an obvious theme looking over the songs in this week’s episode, nothing that necessarily resonates with the […]

A year and a half ago, Bruce’s oldschool alt-accordion idol Miss Murgatroid was involved in the making of a movie, A Kaddish for Bernie Madoff.

“Heat” is the musical theme that Bruce was working with when plotting out last night’s hour-long episode of CFRO’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast! I looked for images of the hot wax apparatus used to effect reed repairs inside the instrument, but it looks like they’re trade secrets. Rest assured the playlist is lively and diverse, […]

Hello and greetings from Squeezebox HQ! This is last night’s episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, featuring some of the newest, grooviest free reed music from anywhere (and everywhere) on the planet! I can’t look into his heart, and the context provided by the DJ-provided playlist title is lean, but […]

Big, messy evictions from the streets and sidewalks took place just outside of our parent broadcaster, CFRO Co-Op Community Radio, this week. You may have heard about it. It is also Bruce’s neighbourhood, and clearly it was on his mind while programming this week’s slate of squeezy tunes for our weekly radio program. If your Apple or Android (or plain old […]

As is often the case, I don’t perceive an underlying theme to our episode broadcast last night over CFRO Co-Op Community Radio: it’s what I like to gloss over as our standard melange of music in a wide variety of styles performed on different kinds of squeezeboxes, all over the planet! That tired old cliche! […]
