Still betting on joint global #Polka / #Accordion revivals when the accordion turns 200 in 2029 and #Polkamania sweeps the globe on its own bicentennial return in the 2030s

Then maybe we’ll get some think pieces to sort it out

My wild prediction is for a grand third #polka revival to sweep the globe at the same time

First #Polkamania 1820s, second Polkamania 1930s, third Polkamania 2030s 🎉

That might naturally coincide with an #accordion upheaval and i got to tell #WeirdAl he predicted it

Fruit-fly 🍌 infestation combined with incessant ear-worm replays of #WeirdAlYankovic’s latest single #PolkaMania may be a sign of #AI or alien life trying to make contact

Or it could be from interviewing #WeirdAl 🪗 for this week’s episode of @accordionnoir radio about his #Polka career 1830s–2030s

The podcast is up to stream or download with an annotated playlist featuring links 🔗 videos and witty 1840’s French “Polkamanie” engravings at:

Accordion Noir radio playlist 2024-08-28: Polkamania (1824-2024) with “Weird Al” Yankovic

A month ago I alerted your regular Accordion Noir host Bruce Triggs that “Weird Al” Yankovic had just released a new polka medley to celebrate the ten-year anniversary 🗓️ of the release…

🪗 The 1840s predated the global popularity of the #Accordion because the new instruments were still too expensive for most people until The Franco Prussian War in the 1870s smashed the French economy and brought the prices down 💀

I may play it this week if I swipe it off YouTube

I recently asked for an interview with #WeirdAlYankovic to talk about #Polka and his new #PolkaMania single for @accordionnoir radio, so I could wait to play it if he responds

Maybe I could hit up #TheLindaLindas to ask about working with #WeirdAl and recording his I think distorted
#accordion?

That could be fun

@meganL
This is super helpful because I’m about to hit #WeirdAl up for an interview to talk about #polka and his relationship with it, because of his #polkamania single that just came out

So this is great background

@inkican
I may mention this if I get to interview #WeirdAl about his new #polkamania single

The original “polkamania” (they called it that) was a global dance fad in the 1830s

The Beer Barrel #polka (“Roll Out the Barrel”🍻) saved the recording industry during the Depression in the 1930s

I’m predicting a bicentennial revival in the 2030s

I’ve got a list of things to ask him though 🪗
