The National Coalition for the Homeless uses a darkly ambient Radiohead snippet in this new PSA, titled "It Can Happen to Anyone," from the ad agency Knarf. The band donated the song for the ad—apparently the first time it's let any of its music be used in an ad of any kind. The track isn't exactly instantly recognizable as Radiohead, though it is dreamlike and menacing, like a prelude to a nightmare. What really caught my attention, however, was that the footage runs in reverse, heightening the sense of unease and dislocation.
