(More Panic! than juggling, but had I gone the other way Felovis would have been a shoe-in.) Bruce is never afraid to spontaneously curate an episode on a capricious theme someone has quietly designated in a calendar, unknown to the general public. This episode of our weekly accordion music program coincided with the general seasonal […]

You never have to wonder whether we live in the world, because every week things take place in the world and often they directly or indirectly inform the theme of the content we feature on our weekly alt-accordion broadcast. If our programming ever stops being informed by what’s taking place on Planet Earth that week, […]

There are simply no words. If our alt-accordion project of the past 20 years could be said to have a guiding saint, Guy Klucevsek would be it, a man with the chops to play anything and with the musical inclination to follow where those chops led him — everywhere! The first time we were called […]

We’re about a month and change off from our national holiday here in the Great White North, and yet for reasons known only to himself (still haven’t had a chance to survey the scope of the loss from Guy Klucevsek’s recent death) Bruce has opted to make this week’s program of CFRO’s hour-long Accordion Noir […]

The clouds have parted, the sun is shining and Bruce is feeling under the weather and Rob Reich, famously of the Tin Hat Trio among other ensembles, has died. Sometimes springtime is callous like that. But we baked in a little memorial tribute to him in this week’s episode of our regular broadcast, plus nods […]

Greetings, folks, here’s the latest episode of CFRO’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast, sharing the greatest squeezebox music to be found anywhere… this week, shining the spotlight very narrowly on songs containing the words “May”, “Midnight” or “Garden” in them. Why? I guess sometimes your host Bruce gives a program its title as an afterthought, […]

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away… I jest, there is no Star Wars connection to last night’s episode of CFRO’s weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast. It’s just our standard good, clean mix of squeezebox musics in a wide variety of styles from all over the world! If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly […]

This week’s episode of CFRO’s hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast shone the spotlight on (mostly) women accordionists selling music on the Bandcamp platform — as today is Bandcamp Friday, their best shot at actually getting paid for selling music recordings online all month!

You can’t fool us! Alt-accordion fans are always in pursuit of the new big thing, and so for last night’s episode of our weekly Accordion Noir broadcast, Bruce has put together a program of tunes looking at “artists with new music and upcoming projects”. I guess that means that everyone in this week’s episode is […]

Many things are afoot, and your host Bruce is up to a lot in a turbulent and inconstant world, but ultimately it all filters through his squeezy brain and gets interpreted in accordion music playlist form. This week is no exception! If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to the episode’s […]

Bruce is feeling the imminent change of the season in his squeeze-bones, and hopefully with it… a lot of other change coming, too, for the better! If you are interested in getting a finer-grained understanding of how he’s doing, there’s no better way than carefully listening to this hour of accordion music he’s plotted out […]

Bruce is on the road tonight, wearing a rut in that long trail entre la jeunesse et la sagesse, but though he can’t be in the CFRO radio studios airing our weekly squeezebox music broadcast this week he can at least use the information superhighway to pipe the episode to us via his parent’s bathroom, […]

Look out, Nazis! Bruce is in a real antifa mood this week, so if that’s going to hurt your feels… well, you’re probably better off unsubscribing and finding another podcast, I bet Joe Rogan will have a suitable guest this week. But if you are energized a bit at the prospect of Americans resisting the […]

Photo by David DG Jones Last winter we kept making new episodes of our weekly alt-accordion radio program, but they weren’t getting shared with our podcast subscribers because our host, the Internet Archive, was paralysed for a long time after a heinous hack. Since then we have been sharing the missing episodes with you as […]

It’s that time of year again, when lovers’ thoughts turn to accordions! Well… OK, maybe when accordionists’ thoughts turn to love. In any case, this week’s fresh episode of our hour-long alt-squeezebox broadcast is full of squeezy love songs, so we cover both possibilities. If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you […]
