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 5-16-2006 The nation rejoices: The Raconteurs Broken Boy Soldiers is out today. A grateful nation gives thanks for a new album from Jack White and pals. "Steady As She Goes" will give you the real guitar rock you need, and make you forget about some crappy Pearl Jam nonsense.
T-Bone Burnett gives us The True False Identity. He really seems like more of a supporting player rather than any visionary songwriter or musician in his own regard. He's been involved with some very good records- but I can't remember much from any record of his.
Hoobastank have a new product, Every Man for Himself. They're following up a big hit and this is one of the most prominent new releases of the week, so I ought to say something about them. But they're so nothing and bland that I can't even conjure up decent mockery. You win this round, Hoobastank.
