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, 12-5-2006: Gwen Stefani, Eminem Presents, Danny Elfman The biggest new pop record this week is the second solo album from Gwen Stefani, The Sweet Escape. She is known to be an Enemy of The People, but Gwen Stefani sure is cute.
Eminem Presents a half-assed album of various new guys, including gentlemen named Stat Quo, Ca$his and Bobby Creekwater. Apparently Mr Mathers had just enough to do with producing some of it to give him an excuse to have his name on it. Many Eminem fans being like "Stan," there'll probably be a couple million copies sold before anyone figures out it ain't an Eminem album.
There are several big movie soundtrack albums out this week, including a Danny Elfman score Charlotte's Web. There are also albums for Mel Gibson's Apocalypto and Dreamgirls.
