480. "Hell Is Around The Corner" Tricky

"Hell Is Around The Corner"
Tricky

1995

I don't know what the hell the deal is with that video up there. Maybe this is a really popular song in the foot fetish community.
One of my favorite things about this song is that it uses the same background as a Portishead song that we'll see later in the countdown, and that came out a year earlier. Tricky didn't care that the audience for the two records was probably 98 % identical, Tricky said fuck it, my song is better, I'll use them damn spooky strings anyway.
He wasn't quite right, but still.
That's good hustle, Tricky!
