After the tragic death of Trish Keenan in 2011, I immediately thought of putting together a retrospective highlighting the best song's from Broadcast's brilliant career. Jams like "Echo's Answer" and "Oh How I Miss You" are some of my favorite songs, like, ever, so the list would've been a joy to assemble, right?It turns out, it was really hard to listen to Broadcast records after Keenan's death; how her voice suddenly sounding so haunted, so tragic. That reaction was surely personal —having interviewed Keenan mere months before her death, and seen what turned out to be Broadcast's last-ever show— but I just couldn't bring myself to going through all those records.
But with plenty of time passed, and Broadcast's final album —nearly completed before Keenan's death, currently being finished by James Cargill— possibly out before the end of 2012, it felt like time to finally pay song-by-song tribute to Broadcast's impressive body-of-work.
So, here, then, my friends, are ten tunes shining bright from the back-catalog: the 10 Best Broadcast Songs...
