Four Formed Macrowaves

Das Magische Band

Fascinating German technology documentary from 1959 by Ferdinand Khittl, discovering the very foundations of electronic music? Check out the part from about 8:15 on. Very forward graphics and sounds. I copied some stills from the film below: 

Songs of Mystery

I have been really impressed with the collection of songs on the mix Trish made for a friend called "Trish's Mind-Bending Motorway Mix." Story & zip here:

There are two mystery songs, tracks 3 & 14 that nobody yet has been able to name. I am hoping somebody out there in the winternet can put an end to this mystery and crack the case, because damn.....this one is tasty:

track #3

  03 Track 03 by JakeMc

i'd love to track down a physical copy of whomever's record this would be on.


UPDATE: Ok, it's been solved, this song is by a Malaysian group Truck. Song is called "Earth Song" from their 1972 debut album Surprise! Surprise!

Oh How We'll Miss You - Trish Keenan

Heartbroken by the news on January 14th, 2011 of the passing of Trish Keenan of Broadcast due to pneumonia that she evidently contracted during a flight layover from Australia to the U.K. Broadcast is my favorite band of the past 10 years and Trish my favorite vocalist. She was only 42 and had so much more to teach the world through her unique and unconventional music. The saddest part about this event to me was the suddenness by which it happened. Also, the fact that this tragedy happened because Trish was traveling across the world, doing what she loved. I think we all took Broadcast for granted. I thought I'd grow old with them. Then one day, this great thing the world had was swept away. I am only slightly eased by the fact that Trish left so much behind for future generations to discover and enjoy. She will live on in this way.

My heart goes out to James and her close friends and family.

I thought the only way I could contribute to this progeny was by creating a page that culled together every favorite visual item Broadcast-related that was out there on the web, for easy access. Professional music videos, interviews, and some of the better footages of them playing live. There are countless footages of them playing live out there, some of them sound terrible, so I'm only looking for what I consider to be the best. More will be added as I find them. So here it is in no particular order:

1. "The Be Colony" from the album Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age (2009)

2. "I See, So I See So" from the album Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age (2009)

              






3. "Winter Now" live performance on a defunct CBC programme called "Zed." Rumor has it that they also played "Pendulum" on the same show. Surely that footage must be out there! Song from the album Haha Sound (2003.)

4. "Come on Let's Go" from the album The Noise Made By People (2000)

5. "Paper Cuts" from the album The Noise Made By People (2000)
