Music so good it’s practically OBSCENE courtesy of Martin Green, accordionist for LAU. Last night I got a hold of the collaboration album between Martin and Eliza Carthy, the english fiddler. It is good. It is better than good. It’s so good it’ll strip the bark off of dogs and put socks on your feet just so it can blow them off again. You have no idea just how awesome it is. Just tune in today from 12-2pm EST.

Martin Green? Hell yes.

Tuesday from 12-2pm is the new time slot for theBIRN’s very own all-accordion show! The adrenaline is running high around here, but not as fast as you should be. The Accordions Can Smell Your Fear and there is no escape.

This Monday night from 9-11pm, come join us as we listen to some of the most amazing accordion songs ever written. Don’t worry, it’s completely safe. Nothing could go wro…

 OH GOD DON’T GO IN THAT ROOM!

The Accordions are here. The Accordions can still smell your fear. Don’t even think of not tuning in tonight from 9-11pm EST.

In this show’s ongoing search to find the greatest accordionists of all time, I have decided to dedicate this entire show to songs by Richard Galliano. If you are unaware who he is, you can read more about him here on his website or tune in to the show at 9pm EST on BIRN Channel 1 and educate your ears. The first hour will be the entire Passatori album, featuring I Solisti Dell’Orchestra, followed by songs from his Luz Negra and Solo albums.

For a quick look at the master, you can also watch some of the various videos of his music hosted on youtube before you tune in.

 

 Tonight it’s a gypsy mix of new and past favorites. I’ve recently come across a new band, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen. Their outlandish take on gypsy-flavored cabaret will have you entranced, amused, appalled or all three. For the rest of the night expect the likes of the Fishtank Ensemble, Fulgerica and the Mahala Gypsies, and Kal. Prepare yourself, because tonight the Accordions Can Smell Fear. 

Tonight on Accordions Can Smell Fear from 9-11pm, we have another show sponsored by world’s greatest BIRN fan from Argentina, Bruno Ramari. Thanks to him, this show is going to feature music from Chango Spasiuk, Raul Barboza, Antonio Tarrago Ros and many more favorites from the southern continent. You never know what you’re going to hear, but I can guarantee that it’s going to be damn good. So tune in now and listen in!

It’s no wonder why Argentina is shaped like a leg. It kicks serious butt.

or “Selts” if you’re from Boston. Tonight on Accordions can smell fear it’s invasion of the Celts! there’s TONS of music including a whole lotta LAU.. So tune in and check out the Accordions Can Smell Fear page to the left. Our wonderful web team has posted a picture of our absent DJ Phil Mehan (but he is here in spirit)

This Michelle philling in for Phil Mehan on Accordions Can Smell Fear. He’s deserted us for a couple weeks to go to the west coast, but we forgive him…sorta. There’s loads of awesome music so tune in!!

It’s a latin invasion on Accordions Can Smell Fear! That means a most excellent selection of music from groups like Los Palmeras, Degrade, Anibal Troilo, Grupo Cali and many more. And by the second half of the show you’ll be listening to more tangos than you can shake a stick at. Many thanks go out to Bruno Ramari from Argentina who sent me the music to make this show possible!
