Nothing is easy for poor Bruce, and the well-oiled operation of his getting these episodes out into the world and online is really starting to run up against rather more friction than we are accustomed to. (Maybe we shouldn’t have skimped on that bellows replacement after the first 500 thousand miles! Really it was just […]

Bruce’s technological issues we have recently reported on have only grown more acute as he attempts various remedies for his troubles, which have impacted our ability to get the program out to you, our faithful listeners, in a timely fashion. Here’s last week’s episode. If you know recent Apple hardware better than the bright bulbs […]

Something happened last night, and this week’s episode of our Accordion Noir broadcast failed to go out over the air in time to celebrate the occasion your host Bruce had planned for: the observance of the 17th anniversary (!?) of the first congregation of the Vancouver Squeezebox Circle, which has continued meeting up for the […]

Every week we share an hour (at least!) of accordion music in various styles representing different traditions from around the planet… and some of our episodes feature sub-themes that, sometimes retroactively, are surprisingly often informed by strange puns and wordplay. For this week’s program, host Bruce confides: This week’s theme is “Things with March in […]

Our Accordion Noir host Bruce Triggs is experiencing some kind of computer collapse (new computer, not old — so he can’t go forward and he can’t go back) in slow motion, making every episode he painstakingly splices together on it a kind of exquisite torment. (I would reach out to our listenership for help, but […]

Bruce maintains a peculiar kind of calendar, perhaps unique in the world, featuring the birthdays of many of the most renowned accordionists of all time. (Bruce thinks you can click this link to add his Accordion Holidays to your calendar.) That way, when it’s time for us to put together an episode of our weekly […]

Anyone can celebrate Valentine’s day by putting together a program of accordion love songs. But it takes our rare galaxy brain thinking to observe the date by memorializing South Africa’s recently-deceased Tony Cedras by putting together an African diaspora squeezebox playlist. You won’t get this content anywhere else. (Present company excepted.) If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) […]

We can’t take a bold principled stand every week… some weeks, we just play accordion music. (“Just”, as if that wasn’t enough!) This week’s theme is “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 14 songs that have four stars, from Bruce’s 26,000 track accordion library.” So please find an extra high-quality hour of our standard melange of varied squeezy musics, with a […]

Ordinarily this would be our monthly Bandcamp special, but something has come up that is even bigger than that. Please read on for Bruce’s statement on Palestine solidarity.

This week’s episode of Accordion Noir is out, featuring our trademark melange of free reed musics from different musical traditions representing far-flung and disparate cultures across the planet! It’s an excellent recipe and we see no reason to deviate from it.

Happy New Year! Last night’s episode of our weekly, hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast took a look at some of the latest accordion music to enter the Public Domain in the United States, hot squeezebox tunes from nearly a hundred years ago — which was a good era for accordions!

Sometimes you run out of accordion playlists before you run out of weeks in the year. In a pinch during holiday activities Bruce had to quickly produce some tunes for last night’s episode of our weekly program, so he reached into his “long, contemplative improvised works” file that has served him so well in his “drone” […]

In all the holiday excitement, Bruce failed to notice that he hadn’t sent me the playlist for this week’s episode of Accordion Noir, and I had failed to notice that I hadn’t posted the epiode yet! But no worries, we caught it in the nick of time. If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t […]

It’s December! There are many occasions to celebrate at this time of year (and the always-festive lucky number 13), but for purposes of last night’s episode of our weekly alt-accordion radio broadcast, we jumped on a few recent birthday observances in the accordion world. If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to […]
