The value of random music picks on the web is directly proportional to the number of available gigabytes on Napster. The chances that you will go buy a CD based solely on my recommendation are slim so all you can do is take my word for it. Since Napster is starting to suck, so will this post.

The Watchmen have been touring Canada for years. In 1998 they released Silent Radar and I saw them at The Barn a year later. This is a fantastic album. The Watchmen walk that fine line between critically credible and radio friendly, ala Counting Crows. If you see the Silent Radar in bargain bin at a second hand music store buy it and listen to Brighter Hell in the dark with headphones.
