Fog (Again)

Dave Matthews once said about Radiohead:
"[Radiohead's music] can take you down a quiet street before it drops a beautiful musical bomb on you. It can build to where you think the whole thing will crumble beneath its own weight - and then Thom Yorke will sing some melody that just cuts your heart out of your chest. There's a point on the album Kid A where I start feeling claustrophobic, stuck in a barbed-wire jungle - and then I suddenly fall out and I'm sitting by a pool with birds singing. Radiohead can do all of these things in a moment, and it drives me fucking crazy." (thanks meg)

I have two suggestions from them:
1. listen to "Let Down" (Ok Computer) really loud, over and over again.
2. listen to "Fog (Again)" [Live], well, just listen to it, it's pretty incredible. It's off the Com Lag: 2+2=5 [EP], and you can download it on iTunes...There's something about the short sad songs with a slightly upbeat guitar riff or piano beat that really get me (e.g. Dear Chicago - Ryan Adams).
