73. Arthur Russell, You Did It Yourself
This was the lead single off the latest posthumous album/compilation/whatever and swiftly became a favourite; guitar pop run through Basic Channel's mixing desk. That bass isn't far off that big, dubby lead in Lyot Rmx which opened the list.

Probably my most played track this year. The mix is ridiculous. That gated sound on the reverb - drip echo? delay? tremolo? -the underwater bass tone and the massive sense of space feel like a rain storm inside a subway tunnel

76. R.L. Burnside, Let My Baby Ride
There's a clip of R.L. where he says rather than calling 911 if you get into trouble, he's always found it quicker to draw for .357...
Sounds like something you'd hear on The Sopranos and I wouldn't be surprised if he did a have a tune or two on there. There's a bizarre interlude in Holy Motors with Denis Lavant doing an accordion cover which I didn't realise was a cover until I read it in the comments somewhere.
Banger.

77. The Fall, Frightened
I'd considered going with the Peel version of Blindness, but my gut chose this.
Strange when MES died. People talked about it seeming as though he'd go on forever, but now he's been gone a while I've this eerie feeling he was never really there in the first place. He's just a voice. A voice I increasingly struggle to match to a body.

79. Nada, Senza un Perche
Heard this in The Young Pope a while back. I've no idea what's being sung, but kind of prefer it that way. The lyrics are probably pretty standard and it's nice to be able to focus purely on the voice as instrument.
This is another I struggle to listen just once.

Keef is a genius producer IMO. Or just utterly eccentric, hard to tell the difference.

82. Bay B Kane, Unfolding Perspective
Hurtling into the night; flying over cities, down motorways. There's a scene in Mason & Dixon where Dixon's taught to ride the ley lines and take flight and a bunch of them go night flying across England. This is the soundtrack to that flight.

Beast of Burden
This is one of my favorites, that K.I.D one as well which I had completely forgotten about.
Is somebody putting this together as a playlist? I always like to hear how they fit together, what the sequence or scope sounds like.
