This past week I've only been listening to two artists; Rufus Wainwright and Radiohead. The former because I saw him in concert and the latter because of their new material. To be honest I was never really on the Radiohead bandwagon, I think I just missed that phase. But last year I got Thom Yorkes solo album and it was easily one of my albums of 2006. That made me listen to more of Radioheads stuff. Sure most of it is depressing, but I don't find it tiring or irritating, as a lot of 'depressing' music can be. The new one is really good, but I keep going back to an older song called "Fog Again". It's so pretty.

Rufus needs no introduction or explanation but if you happen to be a lurker who has never listened to him , WHY!? You should start listening now.
His voice is incredible and will challenge everything you think you know, or have ever heard. He's a genius.
