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 CD Album Releases, 1-6-2009: Miles Davis Kind of Blue Box Set, Celine Dion, ABBA There seems to be downright NOTHIN' of interest in the range of new albums this first week of the new year. I didn't see so much as one real new album from anyone whom I even vaguely recognized by name. NOTHING.
Tell you how thin it's running: The most interesting music release is a Celine Dion DVD. It is somewhere near 3 1/2 hours, and all in French. Never listened to her in French. Maybe she sucks less in French.
One thing that does sound pretty sweet is the 50th anniversary super deluxe re-issue of Miles Davis Kind of Blue, which may be (and deservedly) the most famous jazz album ever made. I mean, just look at this picture of all the stuff spread out. It's listed as 4 discs, but there seem to be specifically three CDs, one vinyl album and some kind of DVD. There seem to be exactly four new tracks here, and multiple takes to make three discs. Plus of course there's a bunch of books and photos and such. Looks pretty sweet - except for the utterly ridiculous $70 price tag - especially for material that should by any rights long since be absolutely public domain.
