Blog! Some weblogs have names like 'The Adventures of Accordian Guy in the 21st Century' and can't hope to live up to their name. And then there are weblogs called Joey deVilla's 'The Adventures of Accordian Guy in the 21st Century' which are exactly that. This is a rich concoction of off-beat musicality and the usual bloginalia (I hereby copyright that word, although feel free to use it yourself). Don't miss the exhaustive and exhausting record of every New Year's Eve in Joey's recent history: "I was staying in a short-term-rental apartment near Prague's Old Town and enjoying my vacation. Some very drunk Swedes kept me in beer and sausages (the only items on the menu) at one of the Czech beer halls one night, while at the bartender at the James Joyce stood with me on the bar and did a rousing version of the Proclaimers' 500 Miles. At several pubs, the accordion once again proved its worth as a machine for turning music into free beer and strangers into drinking buddies at several fine local pubs"
