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

@toddsundsted
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:
I set fly traps ✨🪰
Source for that #polkamania engraving from the 1840s original wave of transcontinental #polka popularity

🪗 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 🪗
