Get Well Soon, Dan Treacy!

Incredibly sad news in the UK today: Television Personalities frontman Dan Treacy is in a coma after surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain. Treacy is an underground icon — MGMT honored him with “Song For Dan Treacy” on last year’s TVP-inspired Congratulations and his shambling, part-sarcastic/part-heartbroken approach to pop has been cited as an influence by countless contemporary indie bands. Three years ago, Douglas Wolk wrote this excellent summary of the band’s career. We at eMusic send our thoughts and good wishes out to Dan for a speedy recovery.
