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 album releases, week of 6-22-04 This looks like an above average week for new albums.
Top likely pick: Brian Wilson has a new album out on Rhino, Gettin' in Over My Head. His last album was pretty disappointing, but this is BRIAN WILSON, so that alone rates a careful listen.
The appeal of their last album escaped me, but Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was the consensus Blogcritics pick for album of the year. This week they are releasing the follow up, A Ghost Is Born. I've never known of this band actually being popular, but note that this album is currently #1 at Amazon.
There's a new release of Elvis Presley's Sun sessions, Elvis at Sun, which have been described as "brand new remasterings that are sometimes startling in their clarity." This sounds promising, as I for one have never been satisfied technically with previous CD releases of this key material.
Also, the words "Spider Man" apparently have some magical incantation powers that cause people to helplessly reach for their wallets for no obvious reason. The Danny Elfman produced soundtrack for Spidey 2 is out this week. Uncontrollable urge... Must buy...
