Also in this episode: a 1952 🥁 polka parody that sounds like they stole ’s style before Al was born 🪗

And Nick from who’s trenchant essay “Polka Might Actually Die” raised hackles and inspired a million bands to join the great rising of the 2030s

Realizing I have six hours of potential tunes and interview material in my playlist for tonight’s one-hour @accordionnoir radio episode 🧐

Dawns on me I could hold off on interview until next week and make it a two episode series 🗓️

Suddenly lessening the difficulty of editing today 🤩

I really don't have a lot of classic music

Whoopee John and Li'l Wally missed the CD re-issue era 🪗🚫💿

@AccordionBruce
Great chat with Nick Smyth 🪗 🎸 from this morning

His closing comments introducing their "Vicky's Polka" will break everybody's hearts 🪗💔

Might send some fans out to the local Legion halls or convince them to start a band 🤘🏽

Thinking about before I interview Nick from

Imagine if had not released any of his satirical polka medleys over the last 40 years 🪗🤔

Would white Americans have heard any other polkas? 🤷🏽

It might have been a clean slate for some norteño star to cross-over if not for him extending its “white and nerdy” shelf-life 🧳

The was a dad joke in the 80s when Al strapped it on as armor

Is it a great-grandad joke because he was good at telling it?

“La Polkamanie, La Frotteska” one of a series of lithographs from the 1840s from the original European “polkamania” dance fad. Shows a pair of bedraggled dancers in  fancy male and female dress, moving tiredly off the dance floor in disarray.

JD absolutely jamming OUT on his acoustic, making a full-on rock and roll grimace towards the camera.a shot of The Longest Johns (with Adam Chance instead of Robbie) on stage singing to the audience. The band are to the left of frame, from behind, facing out over the crowd to the right. The crowd are holding up phones and other sources of light. The whole picture is cast in a cool blue light.A second photo of the banding singing to the audience, who are holding up their phones. Same framing as previous, band shot from behind, lined up along the stage to the left, while the audience face on from the right, holding up phones as sources of light. In this one, the audience are bathed in a warmer, orange/red glow.A photo from the back of the stage, of TLJ, Sean Dagher, and The Dreadnoughts all lined up along the stage, with the audience behind them. The bands are in silhouette and hard to easily discern, but the audience behind them are lit in a cold blue light, creating an interesting contrast.

Huge thanks to Ouzora64 (on Insta) for this outstanding shot! If you get a chance to sing with Sean Dagher, Adam Chance (of Home Free), The Dreadnoughts, and a sold out LPR, New York crowd? You snap that off!

A stunning warm, orange-toned photograph through the crowd of The Longest Johns on stage, joined by Adam Chance from Home Free, Sean Dagher, and The Dreadnoughts. JD has his right arm draped round Rich's shoulder, and Sean's hand is raised in the air holding a mug.

@mikwee @SallyStrange

I really want to interview Leroy from the Dreadnoughts and again to talk about polka

I interviewed Al and asked about his Accordions which was really interesting and fun

But when I interviewed his drummer Bermuda Schwartz, I mentioned and he admitted he didn’t know anything about it really and just took his cues from Al

Leroy from ’ point is that Al doesn’t play community dance music

He puts on a great show for his fans to watch

So apparently the guy from #TheDreadnoughts thinks #WeirdAl killed #polka?
I looked at some of the bands he listed as "real good polka", and they're just not very fun. Weird Al is.

On this show I play a song by The Dreadnoughts; is this asshole the asshole? we are limping this middle school experience to the finish line; parenting is made up of a series of stupid details that shouldn’t be necessary; Buc-ees is madness; hating on big stores is a sport of the childless; I just can’t hate on Costco; AFL round one! the Rube Goldberg machine that gets footy on my TV is ridiculous; Android has removed the ability to navigate app data folders; Australian syntax is really its own thing.
