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.

Tender Buttons is a top 10 album of the 00s for me.

I tended to love the EPs more than the LPs but The Future Crayon is an essential collection too, interesting 'b-sides' etc. I will probably give the Witch Cults LP some more time.

Geeta linked to the Wire interview Trish did in 2009 which is v interesting:

Ha Ha Sound forever and ever and ever. I've spent weeks listening to it.

Nice interview. Anyone who mentions Mort Garson and Alan Garner mere sentences apart is my kind of person.

Listening to Tender Buttons interspersed with various other tracks on Youtube now. Like NickB, Tender Buttons is my favourite (though I love Ha Ha Sound too, it doesn't get enough love) but I was looking forward to hearing where they'd go next. So sad.

It's desperately sad.

They were probably the one remaining band I've liked consistently since the mid-90s. Though they almost lost me with Tender Buttons, they more than won me back with the Focus Group stuff. And yeah I agree about the EPs - I was moved to make my own pre-Future Crayon CDR of those tracks for car listening back in the day.

I'm kind of freaked out to think that after waiting for 14 years or so, I saw what must have been her 2nd last performance. Allegedly 24 hours before early H1N1 symptoms arose. Could never have known that something awful awaited when she finally made it to the antipodes... :(

This is very sad, I discovered them through the Focus Group disc and I have been following them closely ever since.

:(

stevem pointed me in their direction with the 2nd post on this thread. like with all my favorite artists, there are bouts where i hardly listen to anything else. ha ha sound is how i like my pop. but tender buttons with its monochromatic coating is where i love to get lost in. all their output's great though...

Wow, really unfortunate and sad.

i'm still just stunned by this. words fail.

^^

RIP Trish and thanks for the tremendous music
