Question four: What did I love but not include, and why? That one's easy. LCD Soundsystem, because the Soulwax song is basically them anyway. Boredoms, because the two songs they released this year are 23 and 20 minutes long. Stereolab, because the best song on their album was a 2003 single.

Question five: What is the ghost presence here? That's easy, too: The late British DJ John Peel, the greatest nonmusician in the history of the music I love and sort of my idol, in part because he was totally open-eared right up to the end of his life. His voice is heard just for a moment at the beginning of the Mountain Goats song (it was recorded for his radio show), and the song (and the year) would be incomplete without it. A lot of musicians I know believed that, no matter what other successes they had, getting played on Peel's show meant they'd done something really worthwhile. I hope he would've liked this mix.
