Accordion Noir: Playlist: Episode 2: December 8, 2006
CFRO Co-op Radio in Vancouver, BC, Canada
102.7 FM 2-3 AM (ugh!)
http://www.coopradio.org/ for web-streaming worldwide.

1. Gubbish (California?) – Notations in Tonation (2004) – Crack in Space
2. 17 Hippies (Berlin) – Berlin-Style (1999) – Der Zug um 7.40 Uhr (and) Der Song von Mandelay
3. Rowan plays – Kalashnikov – Rowan did not play this on the soundtrack of the film Undergroud, but it sounds like a good movie.
4. The Gay (Vancouver locals) – You Know the Rules (2003) – Opulent Canine

Rowan informed me that this show was posted as five minutes long. So here's the whole thing. With sailor talk, and a dirty song at the end.

At the end, we play the wrong Mid-eastern track, and the metal show Into The Pit follows us with the Melvins, but keeps the Indonesian accordion going too. Roar.

Rowan and Bruce spread rumors and play only CD's we got this week, because the mixer hook-up for the lap-top with its 3500 song library is broken! That's why we need your donations! Glad we got a lot of new stuff to play. Rowan got a free ticket to They Might Be Giants and took notes.

This is a very short podcast!

We've already been asked once not to break records on the air. We're all about juvenilia here, but maybe we give in too easily to the mainstream fear of schmaltz?

Let us know what you think.

Oh! That's the Stairway to Motzart Polka, by the Serfs. Awesome dudes: http://localmotives.org/?date=2004-11-26

Accordion Noir: Playlist: Nov 2, 2008, Taste of Co-op, yakkin' with Accordion Noir!

Just a little special we got to do where all the shows on the station come on and chat with Marc Lindey from the Gospel Train. We were preceded by The F Word, ("Feminist," Sat 8-9 AM,) and followed by the Persian show Pazhvak (Mon 9-10 PM). We hope to have them on to talk about Iranian/Persian accordions, cool!

Please support www.AccordionNoir.org and www.CoopRadio.org Tell them we sent you.

It's fundraiser time again! And in fear that people are sick of accordions, we're disguising a special episode of our show under the happy rubric of the ukulele to sneak some support we might not otherwise earn. Whoo-hoo! Should be great fun.

We are apparently one of the best online fund-raisers for our station, setting up those monthly donations really add up! That's so cool. We're proud to be able to help keep our little station that can alive.

This is where we get to say, "Please support ethical and unusual media by becoming a member of Co-op Radio," because we love you.
