Happy birthday to Neil Diamond. He's 73. Have a favorite song? I'd have to go with "Cracklin' Rosie." You are welcome to say "Sweet Caroline," but perhaps that song could use some rest. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/neil-diamond/2005/spokane-arena-spokane-wa-bddad7a.html

www.last.fm It is my understanding that I was not alone. My excuse for posting a photo of that album cover for the umpteenth time? I never tire or seeing it, and assume at least a few Slice Blog readers feel the same way. If you…
www.mycomicshop.com I need to speak to the SR's headline writers. Remind them to be aiming for thrilling.
You hear some stations you might not ordinarily check out. That must be how, years ago, I came across this Christian pop song. I liked it then. I like it now. www.musicstack.com What have you discovered when you set the radio tuner to bounce from…
