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.

New album releases, week of 6-15-2004 One obvious important new album release this week that will, as the ubiquitous ads say "stimulate blood flow to that special area": The Beastie Boys have their first new album in about six years, To the 5 Boroughs.
Springsteen's Missus has an album this week, Patti Scialfa's 23rd Street Lullaby.
Phish has a final album, boo hoo. It's called Undermind. Has this band ever written even ONE memorable song?
Blue Note has what sounds like an interesting series of "Blue Note plays" albums this week, including volumes for Burt Bacharach, Stevie Wonder and the Beatles. Unfortunately there's no information at Amazon for exactly WHO at Blue Note is playing what.
Capitol's new album Ultra-Lounge: Cocktails With Cole Porter includes contributions from Sarah Vaughn, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington among others. That does sound intoxicating.
Shifting downmarket for our closing, note this week a 2 disc ZZ Top best of on Rhino, Rancho Texicano: The Very Best of ZZ Top. That should be enough ZZ to satisfy any but the most depraved.
