The Lonely Goatherd Blog And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats - Matthew 25:32
Up to the minute notes on the current state of free thinking and free living: Kentucky moonshine - original analysis and reporting from MoreThings, and all round pop culture museum of sight and sound - photo galleries, mp3 and video downloads.
Al Barger and MoreThings - getting people's goats since 1998.
Hostile bearers of unproven and mostly unlikely evil conspiracies tend to come across to me as hateful seekers after cheap self-aggrandizement for the sake of their supposed arcane knowledge rather than actual seekers after truth or the better benefit of the country. Conspiracy mongering doesn't get me hard.

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 1-17-2006: Nina Simone, Terence Trent D'Arby, Aaron Carter Not much in new music this week. Best bets are some Nina Simone re-masters, such as Forever Young, Gifted & Black: Songs of Freedom and Spirit.
Also noteworthy, Sony is releasing a "best of" compilation by the artist formerly known as Terence Trent D'Arby, Do You Love Me Like You Say: The Very Best of Terence Trent d'Arby. Sananda Matreiya's former life leaves a heller best-of collection- though it absolutely won't take the place of owning Terence Trent D'Arby's Vibrator. This would be a good start for a neophyte, though, and has a couple of sweet sounding rarities for the TTD OG.
Come Get It: The Very Best of Aaron Carter is out this week. He's got a right purty smile.
