The closest I’ve had to that was upstairs neighbors who listened to accordion music until around 3am every night. They didn’t last there very long.

I wanted to post a comic that addresses this idea, but when I went looking for the one I remembered, I found there were way too many accordion comic strips out there.

It’s a horrifying story, but the headline sounds like something out of ‘The Day Today’.

But, seriously, what a shame. Hard to imagine such a mix of wonderful music and idiots.

There’s plenty of it in Lesotho…on the other hand, in Lesotho it’s not at all uncommon to see male cops in uniform on the beat holding hands affectionately with other cops. Thugs too - male hand-holding is really normalized there.

F’real, Famo music is one thing I miss a lot about Lesotho. I wrote a novel, “Trashed/Forsaken” about the rest, especially the music - DJing there and playing guitar in a bar band were fantastic fun. One important detail about Famo is that all the bass guitarists seem to have learned from New Order and Joy Division records; they only play the top strings and frets, and very melodically.

My accordion rule is “use an accordion, go to jail.”
Also see, in the anti-drug PSA voice, “this is your brain on an accordion.”
