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 10-26-2004 Ew-wee, but just the titles listing for this Sony 4 CD set Doctors, Professors, Kings and Queens: The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans really makes me feel all tingly. I will avoid sexual metaphors unbecoming a candidate for high public office, but suffice it to say that this one's going to be a must-have pick o' the month or year.
This set aspires to cover the whole history of recorded music from New Orleans. To that end, it's got lots of famous recordings from Louis Armstrong to Fats Domino to Dr John and Professor Longhair.
What sends the blood flowing to special places though, is the bunch of lesser known groups and recordings representing hidden treasures calling my name.
Of likely interest to dirty, smelly hippies, Rhino has a new 12 CD Grateful Dead set Beyond Description (1973-1989). This set seeks to be a comprehensive collection of all their releases from those years.
Speaking of dirty, smelly hippies, Willie Nelson has a new album, It Always Will Be. Along with originals, this includes songs by Lucinda Williams and Toby Keith among others. The Amazon review sure makes it sound promising.
In the range of the actively annoying, Michael McDonald has a "new" album, Motown Two. Michael McDonald really is a pretty good singer, but not just one but now a second collection of Motown covers shows a true and total lack of imagination.
