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, 7-18-2006 Not to put too fine a point on it, but when the best thing I come up with for the title listing of the week's new releases is Billy Ray Cyrus with Wanna Be Your Joe, that means it's thin pickins'. These Los Lonely Boys with their Sacred album are supposed to be big stuff, but I can't remember any of their supposed hits. Oh, and there's a new Alien Ant Farm album.
There's also a whole series of albums seemingly on both RCA and Sony called We Are the '80s. This week sees new album collections by such acts as Scandal, Bow Wow Wow, the Bangles, and of course Loverboy.
