I was searching the Web for some scary accordion images to mark my fav holiday and I came across this fabulous blog created by accordion player Dallas Vietty. I also came across the above image of Dracula rocking the squeezebox. Sweet!

I lost myself in his blog for over an hour–one fabulous accordion click after another. Check out “Music News from Around the Web,” and you can link to an interview with Yann Tiersen, one of my favorite musicians best known for composing the soundtracks to Amelie and Goodbye Lenin–fabulous flicks, the both of them. And definitely check out the music tab at the top, where you can hear videos of Dallas himself playing everything from French accordion music to gypsy jazz and samba. Prima!

Not the worst way to spend the night before Halloween, seeing as how I’m trapped at home recovering from the creeping crud (aka never-ending sinus infection). Alas, I better put on some polka music before I really start to feel sorry for myself and the fact that halloween is passing me by this year. Had I been out among the masses this weekend, I believe I would have dressed up as Joan from Mad Men during this great scene, which featured the accordion front and center.

Enjoy your halloween festivities, and be sure to tip the accordion player.
