Trish's Mind Bending Motorway Mix

this is an extra special post that was featured yesterday on the previously mentioned Root Blog. i'm more or less copying the entire post but feel that this should be shared.

as you may or may not know Trish Keenan of Broadcast passed away last friday January 14th, 2011 from complications with pneumonia. an extremely sad loss. Broadcast's "Haha Sound" will always be a favorite LP of mine. Broadcast's recent short LP with the Focus Group was a teaser for great things to come. this however is a mixtape that Trish made for a friend before their last Australian tour.

From the Broadcast message board :

“Before she went to Australia Trish sent me a mix CD of bonkers pop music she compiled, I never thanked her. Its called Mind Bending Motorway Mix and I want to share it with you, please pass the link on, share it far and wide, its a little tribute to a (as a friend referred to her today) exhilarating woman, we’re all thinking about you James.”
