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 CD Album Releases, 12-16-2008: Randy Travis, Keyshia Cole, Jamie Foxx, Heavy D Not much in the new album releases a week before Christmas. Jamie Foxx has now a third album. He played Ray Charles in a movie a few years ago, so he's a singer now. Whatever.
I listened to the Keyshia Cole A Different Me album, her third. It sounds like generic r&b. I couldn't tell this from a thousand other acts. The most noteworthy thing is that she managed to make the lead single "Playa Cards Right" a duet with Tupac, who's been dead for a dozen years now. The word "graverobbing" springs to mind. She's pretty cute, though.
Way the best musical thing I would recommend this week is a DVD from Randy Travis, Christmas on the Pecos. It's live footage, and I was particularly impressed with his performance of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." He also performs part of this in the Carlsbad Caverns, which certainly gives him and his choir some resonance. His first song in the cavern is "Rock of Ages." Very nice little Christmas video.
