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, 11-14-2006: Yusuf Islam, Tenacious D, The Game Steven Demetre Georgiou alias Cat Stevens alias Yusuf Islam has a new album, decades after turning away from music for religion. An Other Cup contains a cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." In fairness, he hasn't publicly supported vigilante fatwa death sentences against authors with whom he disagrees- not lately. But perhaps it's best that you buy the album anyway, just to keep him happy. Heck, it might even be a good record.
Beyond that, The Game has his second album Doctor's Advocate. He had beef with his former employer 50 Cent, so he doesn't have the services of Dre- the only possible point of musical interest. Apparently "former assistant thug" is considered a musical credential. I'm sure it'll be a huge hit, cause he's legit. The Game is from da street!
Not necessarily sounding like anything of likely lasting value, but at least hopefully containing some spark of with, Tenacious D has their second album, the soundtrack album for their new movie The Pick of Destiny.
