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, 10-4-2006: Lindsey Buckingham, Beck, The Killers, Sean Lennon Lindsey Buckingham's Under the Skin is listed as his first album in some 14 years. I'm not the world's biggest soft rock fan, but this guy made Rumours and Tusk and stuff, so maybe we ought to lend him an ear. I also note that by the cover photo, he's looking curiously like his hero Brian Wilson.
Beck has a new album, The Information . It is apparently very Beck-like. He had a good song once about ten years ago.
Sean Lennon has a new album called Friendly Fire. His brother is somewhat talented, and dad was really talented, so we should buy the boy's album out of a sense of loyalty or something.
