AccNoir-2009-12-21, Concertina Noir!

(This post is out of order, but I wanted to get the Winter-wonder-show last week out early. I wasn't drunk or anything here, I don't know why I sound like it.)

In the consumerist vein, pick up Accordion Babes Pin-up Calendars to support Accordion Noir and Co-op Radio for the new year! Spartacus Books, Highlife Records, or Co-op Books!
Accordion Noir shirts are cool winter fashion too, available at Spartacus or from us.

Support Accordion Noir, we love our supporters!

We've got Accordion Noir T-shirts! With a swell colour antique accordion and Flutina Girl image, and on the back our moto: "Ruthlessly pursuing the idea that the accordion is just another instrument."
Shirts are $20 here in Vancouver. Tentatively $25 mail-order. We may adjust that as we see how much postage costs. We'll get some pictures up on our Squeezebox Circle site as soon as I take some. More info: accordion.noir@gmail.com

We also have the 2010 Accordion Babes Pinup Calendar!
Women posing with their sexy accordions. What’s this mean for the world?
Saucy, Sexy, Campy, Suggestive? We might be the only Canadian source, and they sold out last year, so get ‘em quick for all your squeezy friends.
Another fundraiser for Co-op Radio, includes a cool CD of accordion music made by these women and their bands. $20 / $25 with postage to wherever you are.

Again, our new "One Less Guitar" sticker is available for $2 (or $8 for five) as a fund-raiser for Co-op Radio and Accordion Noir! Email: accordion.noir@gmail.com

Come to the Vancouver Squeezebox Circle, the first Thursday of every month, at Spartacus Books! www.SqueezeboxCircle.org

This is where we love to say: Please support ethical and fabulous media by becoming a member of Co-op Radio, because we love our little radio-station, and it loves us all back.

CFRO Co-op Radio in Vancouver, BC, Canada
102.7 FM 9:30-10:30 PM
http://www.coopradio.org/ to support us worldwide.

Please bask in the green glory of www.AccordionNoir.org and click on the subtle "Donate" link on top to share funds with Accordion Noir's beloved Co-op Radio. Thanks to donors and Co-op Radio Members, we are great-full!

Co-op Radio is almost completely sponsored by listeners, no huge government or corporate funds. Each show asks its supporters to kick in to keep the whole affair on the air. Our show needs to earn $700 a year for our share of CFRO's budget. Get an online membership at www.CoopRadio.org, and tell them Accordion Noir sent you. Please email us if you donate too, so we make sure squeezeboxes get credit!

If you make a donation, you will win a prize! (Let us know you donated and we'll haggle.)

That's how we keep Accordion Noir, and CFRO, on the air.
Thank you, we hope you're having fun!
