Written by Al Barger
Published March 29, 2006

Fans, you're in luck this week if you're into the likes of Ghostface Killah or Rob Zombie. If you're into actual MUSIC though, there's nothing this week looking like it'd be worth listening to. Don't bother.

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.
