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, 12-9-2008: Brandy, Pavement, Twilight Soundtrack The only thing even vaguely interesting looking as we hit the music dog days of December is the new album from Brandy Rayana Norwood. After a couple of listens, I'd say Human is OK - at least minimally listenable, which is probably a better than average review from me for this kind of teen radio fare. I'd rather listen to her than Mariah Carey, anyway.
Other than that, I'm just not seeing a thing new worth talking about.
