General Music Discussion

Anyone know any cool sounding accordion music?

I always thought it sounded cool in like bands.

LIke Gogol bordello.

I want something like that or this. (Ignore the weeabooness)

Is there a spesific genere of fast badass sounding accordion?

Cuz if there is pwease point me in that direction! >_<

This isn't as fast as you probably want, but Yann Tiersen has some **beast** fine accordion music.  La Valse Des Monstres

There's some good fast stuff in klezmer and bastardizations thereof.

Guignol  Of course, the only track I can find on youtube is their slowest track, blah.

I was going to suggest Emir Kusturica and the No Smoking Orchestra, which is a gypsy punk sort of thing, but then remembered they don't really use accordion.

There was also this Japanese street band I can't remember the name of.

The accordian may not be the feature instrument, but holy crap this song is so much fun!

Drinking is good for you!

Now you are a gun train!

Drinking is good for you!

Here comes the woman laser!

Drinking is good for you!

And you will feel awesome!

(ok, no, those are the exact lyrics, but it sure as hell sounds like it)
