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 Album Releases, Week of 12-20-2005 As you might expect, it's slim pickings for new music the week of Christmas. Top pick amongst cool people seems to be Ryan Adams new 29 album. It's noteworthy as his third full fledged new album release of 2005, though I can't speak to the quality of any of it.
Mary J Blige is back with The Breakthrough, said to represent a more mature outlook, and "coming from a better place" as one reviewer says it.
Also, Jamie Foxx has a new album this week called Unpredictable. He certainly did good work playing Ray Charles, but I don't know that this means he has anything at all to say as a songwriter or singer in his own right. I'm pretty skeptical, but this album is currently #8 at Amazon.
Here's the complete list of this week's major new album releases, courtesy AMG:
Ryan Adams 29 Lost Highway Alternative Country, Singer/Songwriter, Americana, Adult Alternative Pop/Rock
Mary J. Blige The Breakthrough Geffen Contemporary R&B, Urban
