New Broadcast (RIP Trish Keenan Jan 2011)

Was just listening to HA HA sound and my god, what a perfect album. Trish Keenan's got to be one of my all-time favourite singers. Her voice is just so beautifully simple. I wish all the recent Kate-Bush wannabe songstresses (Florence, Marina, Ellie Goulding, etc) would learn from her and understand that you don't have to do add unnecessary quirks to your voice to make your music "interesting", it just makes it annoying.

someone on the broadcast forum has re-upped all the radio mixes. which is nice.

magic eye says YES

:(

Good luck Trish. Sorry to hear this. Wonderful band.

^^ otm

get well soon plz trish

Hoping the life support is inaccurate, nobody's confirmed that yet have they? And the FB mention seems to have been removed (unless I'm looking at the wrong page)?

this and the jay reatard tribute are makin it a sad indie day :(

best wishes and prayers for trish.

Wow, this is bad to read about. I hope she recovers.

Oh shit, I came here hoping for some news about the new album. Wasn't expecting this. Terrible.

Christ, must've been just the other week I was listening to an interview with Trish where she mentioned how much she was looking forward to visiting Australia. I really hope she pulls through.

Trish has passed away.

OH FUCK

oh my god.

I can't really take this in. I guess with the news only emerging the other day a few weeks on that was not a good sign but this is devastating.

:-( horrible news

omg :( RIP

blueski otm. So sad. RIP Trish.

We're saying goodbye
We're waving our hands
The waves and the tide
Move the grains of sand

Oh jeez, that's terrible. When I saw the thread revive I assumed they must have some new material. Really wad'nt expecting this.

Clutching at straws here, but has this been confirmed by Warp or someone yet?

I mean, this is a joke isn't it? ;_;

i haven't seen it confirmed. just lots of tweets .

Oh no. Awful, just awful.

Sadly it is true.

i went by andrew hung of fuck buttons tweet and figured he'd be in the know - he didn't quote a source but the sparseness of his message just seemed like a reaction to direct confirmation. it does seem to have snowballed from there tho so i'm sorry to have passed it on without that confirmation.

Well, that's just a pile of awful fucking shit then. Thanks Jamie. RIP Trish. xp

Oh man! I didn't see this thread yesterday so this is a total shock - though I'm sure it must be even for those who knew she was ill. RIP and thanks for the music. :(

Confirmation: http://warp.net/records/broadcast/a-statement

Awful awful news.

fuck. RIP. :(

Oh God. Really shocked by this news. Thoughts go to friends and family. RIP.

how the fuck do people die of pneumonia in 2010??? idgi

She apparently caught H1N1 in December and the pneumonia developed out of that. Get your shots people. R.I.P.

RIP

You would be surprised how easy it is. Your immune system doesn't even have to be weak or compromised in some way. xxp

RIP, I love Broadcast.

Terrible news, terrible and shocking. RIP.

xp yeah a friend's 21yr old sibling, fit and healthy, passed away from the same causes.

RIP - love her voice and she seemed like a stand-up character from what I could gather

You would be surprised how easy it is. Your immune system doesn't even have to be weak or compromised in some way.

Rep. Giffords is another example -- one of the chief concerns of the doctors this week was that she not end up developing pneumonia, which is why they've left in the breathing tube so long.

Very, very sad to hear this. Only saw them once with Languis some years ago here in Costa Mesa -- wonderful performances from both.

RIP

Oh my god this is so sad. I kind of got into Broadcast through a weird way last year with that Focus Group record then went back and heard Tender Buttonns which I absolutely loved.

Yeah, Tender Buttons was their peak imo, but nevertheless I was *really* keen to hear what they would do next.
