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.

India.Arie, Afroman, Thelonious Monk: New Album Releases, 6-27-2006 Best likely sounding all new release this week has to be India.Arie. She's about something. India.Arie Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship appears to be a breakup themed album.
Thelonious Monk The Complete 1957 Riverside Recordings contains two hours worth of Thelonious backed up by John Coltrane. A man needs to hear something like that.
Also, Rhino has a couple of groovy sounding collections. There's a CD of various old recordings of Burt Bacharach in What the World Needs Now Is Burt & Hal. Besides the obvious Dionne Warwick, this includes everyone from Ella Fitzgerald to Frankie Vallie.
Rhino has a new fat box set to file under "if you loved me, you'd buy me this." Rockin' Bones: 1950s Punk and Rockabilly anchors the more obvious raw stuff from Elvis and Jerry Lee and Buddy Holly and Link Wray among 101 songs, a third of which have apparently never been released on CD before.
