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.

The evenings grow chill again, the mornings thick with dew and fog, and a massive harvest moon loomed in the sky last night. We don’t have to tell Bruce it’s autumn, he’s already been told. He reflects upon this annual turn of the seasons in this week’s episode of our weekly alt-accordion broadcast. If […]…

A month ago I alerted your regular Accordion Noir host Bruce Triggs that “Weird Al” Yankovic had just released a new polka medley to celebrate the ten-year anniversary 🗓️ of the release of his “Mandatory Fun” album, and maybe ours would be the kind of speciality radio program that might air it! Bruce doesn’t do […]…

4M ago

—

(Note: despite the obvious superficial similarities in names and appearances, phonographs and gramophones are different things. One is the horned music player that plays from wax cylinders, and the other is the horned music player that plays from flat records. Like mixing up a VHS and a Betamax — very different!) Not content to rest […]…
