this sucks ;_;
was in berlin for a few months in fall 2005, no internet and no money to buy music. tender buttons was the last thing i put on my mp3 player before the trip. discovering that album and a new city at the same time was wonderful... and then they came through on tour! just perfect. fuck :(

wtf!
this is awful. Broadcast put out some of my favorite records of the 2000s, & the Focus Group collab last year was just as rewarding and promising as anything else in their remarkably consistent discog. just terrible..

of Montreal's reaction annoys me especially for whatever reason (it reeks of self-image promotion) but otherwise this tops the slew of deaths that affected me most lately. Even MJ's didn't entirely get me as much as it did the world - the guy seemed clearly past his prime, while Broadcast I was still waiting to release that classic album.

^ I can dig it. Too young, too arbitrary, too bright a future... I don't think any other 'popstar death' has affected me more deeply.

Unless its since been edited, I don't get this complaint. No less so than the Toro Y Moi talking about how big of an influence she was.

Not to get too nitpicky here about such a non-issue considering this thread, but how is of Montreal's thing worse than The Antlers... who actually linked to their cover of a Broadcast song? I mean, thats untimely self-promotion.
Anyway, back on topic, I happened to be meeting a friend near a record store today and had a few minutes to kill inside. Walked out with copies of The Noise Made By People and Work and Non-Work.

"If it was once written of Nico that her voice was so deadpan it could flatten a coffee jingle, Keenan was the polar opposite – her voice could make the speaking clock sound like your childhood best friend." Great article, Karen!

I haven't read my blogs recently, this has passed me by. This is so sad.
Only own the two last albums, I guess. And I really want all the others. Tender Buttons is such an appropriate name, I've never heard computer music sound so close to a hug and a roaring fire before. Listening to it seems like going to one of those empty but warm and inviting pubs with an old friend. I didn't even know Trish's name, I've never seen them live, I rarely read about them or anything but this feels like losing an old school buddy. The type you may have not spent a lot of time with an yet still ended up sharing a ton of secrets and in jokes with.
Tender Buttons and Haha sound really should be in everyone's collection, especially after how mental people went for The xx last year. And when I get a bit of money and sort my life out and can afford records again, I bet I will pick up their others and feel exactly the same way about them.

this sunday's Freak Zone (radio 6, sunday) is apparently a tribute - featured album is Noise Made By People and he'll be playing related tracks.
― koogs, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 11:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Those Bob Stanley and Andy Votel pieces are really pretty great.
Incidentally, the Motorway Mix also formed the basis for the pre-show soundtrack for those final dates. I distinctly remember the Harumi and Tangerine Peel tracks, at the very least, playing at high volume while they were merrily plugging in cables and erecting the projection screen, etc, on December 9th.

I was listening to Broadcast last night lying in bed. It stuck me that there is something very ghostly about more recent Broadcast, and now Trish Keenan is a ghostly electronic presence.

i was wondering if people were generally aware of the mother is a milky way tour lp from 2009? cos it certainly passed me by.it'a a lovely bucolic, valerie ahwow-ish twin of the witch cults record. less sound collage and spookiness but with the same faust-y all runing together quality, quite folky and at times jazz-y instrumentation . a tour release seems such an un-broacast thing but this was a real unlooked for joy to listen to.
― cw, Saturday, 12 February 2011 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I got that on tour...they did that with a few releases. I have the 3" Microtonics CD. Mother is the Milky Way reminded me of His Name is Alive, stuff like King of Sweet.

Tracklist update from another forum:
03. Truck, "Earth Song"14. Carl Erdmann, "Devil Worship"
That Koji Ueno song, apart from the vocals, could be lifted straight from a Broadcast album. Been playing this mindbending mix a lot, it's a gorgeous bubble to float around in.
