New Broadcast (RIP Trish Keenan Jan 2011)

There's a whole series of videos on YouTube with broadcast times and the things that inspired them. Ditto Stereolab.

i love those

this is really great and includes an especially amazing version of the song Lights Out which was originally only on the Work Non Work comp.

whoaaaaaaaaa

Damn, that guitar on Lights Out sounds so rusty! Shades of Roland S Howard.

Miss Trish. Broadcast came to Vancouver on halloween for two shows. On the Tender Buttons tour I was dressed up as an old man with spray painted grey hair, big onion cutting glasses and was wearing a sweater. With my then ex. Asked Trish for her autograph and against the club lights she asked what I was and said I looked "green". Classic band, thanks for sharing that great link piscesx

I've got no idea when this demo was recorded, she sounds so young though!

James Cargill Mixtape for Radio 3's Late Junction.

(listening now, apologies if it's bobbins)

(she was talking on the previous programme about there being a debut Children of Alice lp in the works)

(starts about 32m in)

recommend the duke of burgundy score to fellow broadcast fans

hits on the same kind of motifs as berberian sound studio, another peter greenaway film

Oh man, thanks so much! This is great.

Peter Strickland directed this & Berberian, not Peter Greenaway

Yeah Cat's Eyes are great aren't they, very Broadcast. Heard a Kermode radio show last week where he says that the director of Duke.. told Cat's Eyes he wanted the soundtrack to sound like Morricone's Belly Of The Black Tarantula score and John Barry's Octopussy score.

yesss thank you

Thanks Neil, I seem to confuse them

And yeah Pisces, Rachel's tracks with cats eyes can heavily recall broadcast, just a shame how uneven their last album was

nae bother, sorry for pedantry, and I can see why you might get them confused!

:) all good mate

Hit me up if you wanna hear mother is the Milky Way ep

Love her ^

Lake Ruth just put out a new album, Birds of America.

It's very good, and I'd highly recommend it, and their previous one, to any Broadcast fan.

I really like that Lake Ruth album, it's very breezy. And yet it still ultimately just makes me listen to Broadcast again.

thanks for that :)

i went out for breakfast in a diner in a small city in the midwest recently and the server was wearing a broadcast t-shirt, which i thought was rather unlikely. he likewise thought it was unlikely that anyone would recognize it.

So great! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing Willem, it's great.

^ Nice! That school's just up the road, sort of.

I've been listening to a lot of Broadcast since the 2000's album poll rollout.
This morning, while listening to the local college radio station, the bass and drums intro of "See Emily Play" came on, and I found myself thinking "awesome, they're playing Broadcast... what album is this from, though?" Then Syd Barrett's vocals came in.

The Noise Made By People is 20 years old. Nice piece here in Stereogum;

I've been thinking a lot about the fact that we lost Trish to the H1N1 pandemic. Not a coronavirus, but I hope our leading lights are staying safe. There's not a month goes by that I don't wonder what we lost from her work to come.

I've been playing a lot of my favourite records for comfort over the last few days and Broadcast have been right up there. Work & Non Work and The Noise Made By People are the ones I went for first and they just sounded as perfect as ever.

Here's a mix I made in tribute to Broadcast a few years back:

Just came to post that! One of my favorite things ever.

Happy belated birthday, Trish.

After listening to that I was led back to some of Neanderthal’s recordings. Good stuff.

Miss her presence in the world.

me too

I wonder if the last Broadcast songs will ever be released? there were some really good songs played live towards the end that aren't on any of the records

eg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRnDmDC2tVk

it would be pretty special if there was enough for a final album, feels like a "new" release would also be a nice occasion for a really big celebration of her life and art

I was particularly intrigued by the "what you want is not what you need" song from that same show. (Now popularly known as Dulcimer Jam) It was only upon seeking news of possible new recordings that I heard that something had gone awry on her homeward journey. :(
