I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Jam of the Year The debut album for OK Go hit stores 9-17-2002. I don't have this bad boy yet. I've only heard but one song from this outfit.
However, "Get Over It" sounds like a sure nominee for Jam of the Year. Before you make out the words, the record will wallop your ass. It's the sweetest hard pop record in a while. Your classic power pop bands, early Who or Kinks or Clash would have any one been proud to have written this song. Hell, the Ramones would have killed for this good a melody. Hard and smooth, with just the right little seasoning of harsh distortion. Just right. Hard telling what it will do in the market, but all cool rockin' dudes MUST hear this.
The lyrics really top this off. Close examination reveals a bracingly fresh, harsh rebuke of every kind of weepy liberal whiny butt going.
Oh your wounds are full of salt.
Everything's a stress and what's more,
well it's all somebody's fault.
Hey! Get over it!
Makes you sick, makes you ill,
makes you cheat, slipping change from the till.
