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, 11-10-2009: Tori Amos, Bon Jovi, The Jackson 5, The Kinks Top new album this week is a "seasonal" not Christmas album from Tori Amos, Midwinter Graces. It has workings of a couple of actual Christmas songs, like "Star of Wonder" with other old winter songs and original compositions.
The Jackson 5 I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters appears to contain at least five unreleased original songs recorded by the early Jackson 5, as well as various alternate takes and a Stevie Wonder cover ("Buttercup"). I'm at least somewhat interested in Ray Davies & the Crouch End Festival Chorus The Kinks Choral Collection. It has orchestral arrangements of Kinks classics, including "Waterloo Sunset" and Celluloid Heroes."
