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 11-9-2004 Looks like another week of thin gruel. Elton John does have a new album, though. Peachtree Road might be worth a listen. His recent albums have been pretty marginal, but this is the guy who wrote "Burn Down the Mission" and "Levon." Plus even just the titles of this have something of the weird creative flavor of classic era Elton.
I feel little but contempt for Shania Twain, as would any fan of country music. After maybe three albums, she's MORE than got enough HUGE STUPID (and I do NOT mean "stupid fresh") HITS for a greatest hits album, though.
What with the Ashlee Simpson nonsense, even Britney Spears might start sounding relatively good at this point. I swear I'd be buying her Greatest Hits: My Prerogative before I'd listen to Shania Twain.
I'd also probably rather hear Britney than another album of Linda Rondstadt's pointless covers of Broadway standards. However, Hummin' to Myself is out this week, if anyone is just dying to hear Linda sing "Miss Otis Regrets." At least she's not butchering Elvis Costello.
Soundtrack's out now to the Spongebob movie, featuring among others Wilco, Ween and Motorhead.
Note also a new second greatest hits volume from Toby Keith, featuring "The Angry American" and "Beer for My Horses." I don't care much for his music, but the mere mention of his name seems to inflame the pinkos. That alone makes his album worth a mention. Liberals, just THINK how Toby must be savoring last week's humiliating defeats for the Democrats. Just THINK of it. That bastard.
