Evening all,
Hope your week’s going well….on the show we’ve got the fantastic Scars on 45! Playing three acoustic tracks and having a chat. They’re playing their new single so if you like it and want to bag it for yourself go to:

One major dark cloud’s been hanging over me (well, more than one but we’ll stick to the musical point…) – the really sad news of Trish Keenan passing away. I’ve loved Broadcast from the moment I first heard their music and have since collected all their releases – one of the very few bands in that category. Their sound was quite different to everything I’d previously enjoyed. I have many happy memories of dancing along in the kitchen to tracks from ‘The Book Lovers’ and ‘Extended Play’ and being mesmorised by the band at a gig in Birmingham. Trish honestly inspired me – to the point where I briefly plucked up courage to sing in my own band. I’ll miss her dearly.
Cue the music….on Wed 19th Jan:

Patrick Wolf – Time of my life (ceephax remix) (no, not the dirty dancing song!)

Get in touch if you’re in a band/you’re an artist with music you’d like me to play: laura.rawlings@bcbradio.co.uk – we love to hear from you!
Well put. It was only about 2 years ago that I started to listen to loads of Broadcast, having previously only heard the Extended Play EP. I was immediately minded to think of your own music and the positive influence Trish Keenan had had on your singing voice. It’s a pity Broadcast aren’t on Spotify. I only have 2 of their albums and would like to hear more. I feel a trip to Jumbo coming on…
I dare say this will interest you both: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2011/01/16/broadcast-black-session-la-maison-de-la-radio-paris-france/
