New Broadcast (RIP Trish Keenan Jan 2011)

ha. i just find it weird that people get excited to pay $30 (or whatever) for an album they already own, or could own for much cheaper.

I will be excited to buy the albums I've never owned! I've only ever had Tender Buttons. And... if I buy that on vinyl as well... just look away. Don't look at me.

Records are nice

people have too much money

Not that easily got, some going for $100.

Odd Nosdam, whose name has been on my all-time worst list for over a decade running just getting that out there, released an ep in tribute to Trish Keenan today.

Through the Broadcast facebook page:

Debut album from Children Of Alice, a collaborative project consisting of Broadcast’s James Cargill, frequent collaborator Roj Stevens and Julian House (Ghost Box Records, The Focus Group)

^ So stoked!

Oh, that's awesome. I'm so glad that they're progressing in some form.

No new material here, apparently, but good to have it all in one place and easy to get hold of.

Was just coming here to post this. So stoked! Children of Alice name is a tribute to Trish, apparently: http://www.factmag.com/2017/01/12/broadcasts-james-cargill-announces-debut-album-warp-children-alice/

super excited for this one - i haven't heard the cassette. is it similar to broadcast? or like recent ghost box stuff? or more ambient?

i was not that into the berberian sound studio. should i give it another try? what with its theme of fragmentation and disintegration, "investigate witch cults..." seemed like a more fitting end to the broadcast project

So, this is out...incredibly stoked to hear this record!

not crazy about this one ... yet

he sure does love the backward tape effect, though

my main complaint is that the tracks sounded the same but i only listened to this once, and in the car, which was probably not the best place to listen

Not crazy about it either initially. Clearly another evolution from the sound they were cultivating on Witch Cults and Mother Is The Milky Way. Loving tribute to Trish' interest in Alice In Wonderland and their hammer horror plunderphonics. Feels like a Focus Group record with the slapdash found sounds and absence of Trish.

witch cults was my favorite album of theirs so i don't mind the sound in theory but ...

I love Witch Cults but miss Trish

nah this is great, though probably best approached as a follow through from the last focus group lp than witch cults. Having said that, the last time i saw broadcast on the south bank, they sounded pretty much this way.

Thought I'd posted this record from last year here. Really great stuff with "strange sounds" by Phil Jenkins.

^ Awesome record. Best merger of pram/stereolab/broadcast/USA/white noise I've heard

Yeah I live for this stuff. Is there a Rolling (whatever) Thread we could come up with?

^ Not sure, but I'm 100% on board with that

Slightly random thought but ... whatever happened to Keith from Wurlitzer Jukebox?

Sounds like a proto Broadcast?

Great song. It seems it was sung by Michal Shapiro? Shame she only was on one Elephant's Memory album, because I love her voice. She's an artist now, but doesn't even mention the Midnight Cowboy success in her bio.

I think this is the song it reminds me of

I fucked that up (as usual). It's actually this one:

this must be intentional

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

Ross, if the offer still stands, I'm very interested in hearing it!
