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.

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 7-26-2005 Best likely new thing on which you might take a chance is Rockabilly Riot, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Sun Records from Brian Setzer. These are all covers apparently, but he's reached in deep enough that even I don't recognize even the titles of most of these songs. He's definitely the top guy around that could make something like this work. Not that he couldn't sing the notes or understand the feelings invoked, but really even Elvis Costello probably couldn't make this come out right. There's something about Setzer though that gives him some special believability, like he's channeling Elvis or Carl Perkins. Also, this album is already #9 at Amazon.
Record company dumbassery warning: The new Babyface album is copy protected. Thus, the record company is purposely selling a defective product designed not play in your computer at all perhaps, and certainly not to be ripped to mp3s for your iPod. He's not that good, anyway.
Alanis Morissette is now widely releasing Jagged Little Pill Acoustic, re-arrangements and new recordings of her entire breakthrough album on the tenth anniversary. This record previously available only at Starbucks.
