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 11-22-2005 Ray Davies has a five song EP Thanksgiving Day, in anticipation of his first solo album coming in February.
Enya's first album in five years is Amarantine, and it's currently #3 at Amazon.
Billy Joel's new My Lives is a box set of rarities, plus a DVD. Particularly, it includes a bunch of material from early bands he was in before he hit.
Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert actually features a lot of brand new songs rather than being a rehash best-of. It also is said to be considerably more serious driven, guitar playing music, reflecting a lot of jamming time with Buddy Guy, BB King, Herbie Hancock and other such folk. Sounds like the singer-songwriter is butching up a bit.
Their crappy A Bigger Bang album from a few weeks ago already long forgotten, the Stones have unleashed another album, Rarities 1971-2003. Looks like another stupid cash in for idiots who'll buy absolutely any worthless thing with the words "Rolling Stones" on the cover. There don't seem to be more than a couple of actual unreleased songs, just more crappy live re-hashes of the hits.
Creed singer Scott Stapp has a solo album out now, The Great Divide.
