It seems that Weird Al is conspicuously missing from this list.

Great post Logan.

You’d better include some Decemberists.

I think something may be wrong with the Arcade Fire song on the radio blog. I can listen to everything except that song.

Pearl Jam’s “Bugs” gets my vote for most bizarre accordion song.

Probably off Logan’s radar but the best accordian music around is Buckwheat Zydeco. He owns it!

Try it now, NFlanders. Weird — for some reason changing the filename finally worked. I don’t know what the problem was.

Thanks for the accordion songs shout-outs. See what I mean? Accordions are everywhere!

The Decemberists! I forgot about them. I’m relatively new to the Decemberists, and I forgot that their first two albums have accordions. I’ve been listening to Picaresque, which doesn’t seem to have any. My list is already made, but maybe I can include a Decemberists track as a bonus.

And I don’t have that Pearl Jam song (or any Buckwheat Zydeco — you got me there, chronicler!), but since I’m in a bonus song mood, I’ll put ‘em up if you email me.

Accordians can also be heard in practically any song by Weird Al Yankovic.

Hmm… Yankovic became popular in the early eighties, and now kids who liked his music then are old enough to start their own bands. Coincidence?

So Logan, can we expect any Gogol Bordello?

chronicler, as long as they’re not protected, just send them as attachments to the email address linked to by my name below this comment. If you have any problems or issues, email about those and we’ll see what we can do. I’ve done this sort of thing a lot — we can probably figure something out.

Bob, the only clue I can give you is for you to start wearing purple for me now!
