I keep trying to ride IWD all through March, so my latest #StupidAccordionTrick is, from 1999, #GoodbyeEarl as made famous by the #DixieChicks.

For this week's #StupidAccordionTrick, here's something a little more romantic than the song I shared for Valentine's day earlier this month - #BrandiCarlile's #TheStory. (sorry about the clams in the solo!)

For this week's #StupidAccordionTrick -- RIP to Catherine O'Hara, who famously lip-synched to this calypso standard while possessed in a kitchy retro moment of indulgence in Beetlejuice.

And one final #StupidAccordionTrick for 2025, to ring out the stupid old year and ring in the stupid new year, here's my very unlikely squeezy take on #KoolAndTheGang's 1980 occasion-agnostic groove #Celebration. Come on!

As part of my #RemembranceDay duties, I have diligently recorded an antiwar song for last week's #StupidAccordionTrick: #ElvisCostello's 1984 #Shipbuilding, a look at the Falklands War.

RIP #MarkVolman! I never had much occasion to tap this classic tune prior, but now for this week my #StupidAccordionTrick will be sending him off with #TheTurtles' 1967 #HappyTogether

This week's #StupidAccordionTrick was one of my wife's favourite #TomTHall songs, #ILove, covered on the occasion of her birthday!

We do #Pride in August here in Vancouver, so for this week's #StupidAccordionTrick I've gone back to 1984 to accordionise #BronskiBeat's anthem of queer youth alienation, #SmalltownBoy. Recorded well after midnight, the entire performance is a kind of fugue state.
