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 6-7-2005 Praises be to the God of your choice, this week we get a new White Stripes album, Get Behind Me Satan. After the Elephant opus, and Jack White's contribution to Loretta Lynn's awesome Grammy winning Van Lear Rose, it is clear that this is Jack White's world, and we are priveleged merely to live in it. This is currently the #2 album at Amazon.
Coldplay also drops their X&Y album. This is supposed to be the Big Statement that breaks them through to being the baddest band on the planet or something. It's the #1 album at Amazon, in any case.
Black Eyed Peas have a new album out, Monkey Business. Somehow they've gotten to be a big act. I guess they look cool and all, but do they have even ONE real song somewhere?
Paul Anka has a new album Rock Swings, on which he covers songs including "Smells Like Teen Spirit" "Eyes Without a Face" and "Wonderwall." I would scoff, but years later I'm still jammin' on Pat Boone's classic In a Metal Mood.
Highly rated countryish songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman has a new album out this week, Look.
Junior Brown has a best-of album. It doesn't have everything on it that I'd like, but that'd end up basically being a boxed set of everything he's recorded. If you don't have "Highway Patrol" or "My Wife Thinks You're Dead," then you need this.
Could Ringo Starr's new Choose Love album actually be worthwhile? Stranger things have happened.
Finally, I would be remiss if I did not note a new album from old hero Graham Parker. I haven't been bowled over by anything he's done recently, but this guy wrote "Don't Ask Me Questions" and "Stick to Me," so he rates a listen- though the album title doesn't fill me with enthusiasm: Songs of No Consequence.
