Trish Keenan, lead singer of electronic-psych band ''Broadcast'', died recently after contracting swine flu while on tour of Australia. She was only 42. It's a terrible loss of a great talent. I'm surprised Broadcast aren't here. They are at least prog related in my opinion.

Thanks for posting this. I am just a casual fan of Broadcast, but the news hit me hard because I have respect for what they do. I am a fan of the kind of experimental electronic music that comes from Warp Records artists, Broadcast included. I would like to add "Echo's Answer" as a nice tune to remember Trish by.... |

Yes, it was tremendously sad to hear this. I quite liked Broadcast, Tender Buttons in particular (though stating such things when someone has just died seems awfully irrelevant). Anyway, a sad loss. -------------

| I just ordered "Tender Buttons" CD. Is it bad that it took an artist's death to jolt me into acquiring their music? |

I think its ok to state such things. Our relation to Trish is through her music. I dug up my Broadcast CD's and listened to them for the first time in a couple of years the day after she died. Got most of their albums and some early, excellent singles/EP's. Her death is a tragic loss. I didn't know her of course, but reading interviews and about the band was always intriguing and filled with obscure references of everything from Czech new wave films to Delia Derbyshire. A pure joy for a movie/art/music-lover like myself, always hunting for popcultural treasures of the past, She had great musical knowledge and a was into early electronic and library music, and obscure psychedelia etc... I used to listen to Look Outside (from The Noise Made By People) over and over, enjoying what must be one of popmusic's longest cresendos. I've started doing this again this last week. (It's like the smart pop version of Shadow of the Hierophant) I ordered Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age from 2009. It sounds fantastic on the youtube clips I found. More loose, experimental and artsy but still some kind of popmusic: |

She was not old too to rock'n'roll but too young to die
