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 October 4, 2005 Woo doggies, but it's hardcore grrrrrrrrrl power this week in new releases. For starters, Sinead O'Connor has an album of reggae covers called Throw Down Your Arms recorded with Sly and Robbie. Sinead's obviously a high album to hear. The wicked Monkey flings poo in my ear to mock my devotion to Sinead. Still, this is sounding like a pretty good album.
Yet even higher to hear than Sinead, Fiona Apple and her new Extraordinary Machine. I get murky with the back story, but she recorded a whole album by this name and discarded it. This has been one of the top listening items of the year, the reason God made P2P- and I'll be right curious to see what she thinks is better than what she's tossed aside. It appears to have recordings of maybe half the songs from the bootleg. In any case, this is her third album, and first in about six years.
Liable to get lost in the shuffle, Liz Phair also has a new album this week, Somebody's Miracle.
Also in way of girl power, a Melissa Etheridge Greatest Hits: The Road Less Traveled.
The most powerful girl though, the greatest diva in the world, Celine Dion has a new album, On Ne Change Pas.
Looming over all the girl power though, Rhino has a fancy box set of 60s girl group stuff, One Kiss Can Lead to Another: Girl Group Sounds Lost and Found with the Shirelles and Motown and such- but no Phil Spector stuff. That's a whole separate universe though, and this just looks like the stuff. You want to get a young girl off of ignorant Ashlee Simpson and Britney albums and listening to real music? Here's the Christmas present.
Representing for the testosterone wielders, note new compilations from Frank Sinatra and Snoop Dogg. Frank Sinatra/Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra have The Essential Frank Sinatra with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Priority is puting out The Best of Snoop Dogg.
Reverend Horton Heat has a Christmas album We Three Kings, which led me to arbitrarily throw in a link for the great Roches album of the same name.
