I’ve never really mentioned Neil Diamond on this site before, and that’s partly with good reason. Singalongs to “Sweet Caroline” bother me to no end. That’s a small part of the problem. I do have some admiration for what the guy does though, and with all of its Neil Diamond quirks, the comedy “Saving Silverman” is still pretty funny to me. Whether it’s a good joke at or about or with him, Diamond remains a good sport, and for that I don’t entirely dislike him. So I take this moment to wish him the best as he’s just announced he will be getting married. He’ll no longer be a “Solitary Man”. He’s turned on his “Hearlight” and is saying “Hello Again” to the prospect of marriage. There’s about 10 more song title jokes I can make, but for now I’ll spare all of you the additional puns. No Neil in today’s Pick Your Poison, but there’s plenty of other good music for you to enjoy. That includes tracks from Abstract Artimus, Carter Tanton, Family Lumber, Goddamn Electric Bill (covering Metric), The Supreme Dicks and Wires Under Tension. In the Soundcloud section, Tokyo Police Club’s covers project comes to an end with their amusing cover of Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.”, and you can also hear a new song from Yuck as well.
