Cake

Hat:
I like Fashion Nugget, it has some brilliant tracks. Italian Leather Sofa, I Will Survive, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps, and even The Distance managed to survive massive radio overplay for me.

Apart from that, Cake don't do a lot for me, although I distinctly remember Motorcade having a few decent tracks, but the rest of the albums always seemed a little mediocre.

One thing that I thought was really weird, was I was sitting around listening to Fashion Nugget, and reading "The World According to Garp" and it seemed like the book was synching up with the album.  I think that was mostly because during the scene where Garp's wife bites off that other dudes knob while they're driving, "Stickshifts and Safety Belts" was playing, because that seemed hilarious at the time.

It's a horrible drug that kills people.

BillyEchapa:
Cake's former drummer, Todd Roper (who is solid), has been playing with several SF area bands/artists lately that have just put out albums that will probably fly below the Pitchfork trendar, but are absolutely fantastic:

Sensations (http://www.listentomyshapes.com) - a side project of Mother Hips' guitarist Greg Loiacono

Etienne de Rocher (http://www.etiennederocher.com) funky pop/folk

Both are well, well worth checking out.

--- Quote from: Moiche ---Sheep go to heaven is still good for a nostalgic listen.  And the ladies seem to like the cover of "I will survive" for reasons not immediately apparent.  Otherwise, *yawn*.

I love their cover of "I Will Survive!" It's brilliant because it is so deliciously ironic. It's supposed to be this loud passionate song about self-confidence and standing up for yourself.. and they just sing it so monotonously and bland. It's awesome.

Merkava:
I find Cake boring. They have a couple of good songs, but I just don't really care that much about them. Now, EATING cake is another story.
