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.
Links
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 CD Album Releases, 7-1-2008: G-Unit, Vanessa Hudgens, My Chemical Romance, Star-Spangled Songs This has to be about the least interesting batch of new releases of the year to date. The main big release is the five years in the making sophomore album by 50 Cent protege G-Unit. Right from the title, T.O.S.: Terminate on Sight indicates the mindless and musicless thug posturing of the long played out gangsta rap nonsense.
My Chemical Romance has a live CD/DVD combo The Black Parade Is Dead!. One might find them (or their fan base) kinda cheesy, but at least a couple of these songs are pretty good - if you can separate them in your mind from the goth shtick.
This Vanessa Hudgens chick was an early star of the Disney High School Musical franchise. Identified is her second album. She's got a big tour and a couple of movies coming out this year, so there's some expectation that she's gonna blow up big. We'll see about all that.
For your 4th of July consideration, Star-Spangled Songs: America's Greatest Hits sounds kinda groovy. The two discs include a George Cohan medley, John Philip Sousa, "America" from West Side Story, and "The Yellow Rose of Texas."
