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 Albums, 12-12-2006: Fantasia Barrino, Taylor Hicks, Sonic Youth How weak are the new releases this week? They're so weak that the American Idols Fantasia and Taylor Hicks are the best bets. Ms Barrino's second album is the eponymous Fantasia. Likewise furthering the American Idol reputation for utter lack of creativity, the season five weiner's album is titled Taylor Hicks.
Ah, but it gets worse -a new Sonic Youth album Destroyed Room: B-Sides and Rarities. There have been few less worthy bands than Sonic Youth ever get as big a critical reputation as this one- and that was 20 years ago when they were in their prime. However, there seem to be people who pride themselves greatly on their ability to talk themselves into liking utterly unlistenable crap. Personally, I'd listen to William Hung before I'd put on Sonic Youth. But if you're one of those folks who gain a sense of intellectual or spiritual superiority from listening to the most aggressively tuneless, dissonant caterwauling you can find, a collection of Sonic Youth B-sides should be just the thing. Enjoy.
