i have had a recent renaissance with Cake's music. i had Fashion Nugget in high school. i bought Prolonging the Magic while in college. i remember Comfort Eagle coming out and listening to it at the listening station at Hasting's thinking, "this sounds too familiar to their old stuff," so i pretty much ignored what they were doing. their new album, Pressure Chief, came out recently and my friend has been talking about them, so i got interested again. a couple of weeks ago i bought Comfort Eagle. at first i thought it was alright and i really liked the song, Meanwhile, Rick James....., but now after listening to it some more i like it. i guess i had it in the category with Weezer's Green Album, but it has a little more depth and range than that. after buying CE, i revisited a tv performance they did recently of No Phone and it just stuck in my head, so i bought Pressure Chief. it has a lot more synths. i'm thinking Cake and Grandaddy would make good touring partners. so i don't put Cake in the category of say a Radiohead, but they do have their place in my music collection. sort of fun, witty, intelligent........and great use of the Vibra Slap and quirky percussion, which i love...........and they do some really great covers so this last week i've tried to find online communities for their fans and i had a hard time. their website is very bare, just like their artwork. anywho, i did find some sites if anyone else is interested. http://cake.ography.co.uk/ http://p072.ezboard.com/bcake www.cakemusic.com the vibra slap [/img]http://www.lpmusic.com/Product_Showcase/Sound_Effects/images/lp_ vibraslaps_II.jpg[/img] _________________ I am Torgo.

I've only heard 'Fashion Nugget' and the last time I listened to that was when I was randomly popping in CDs from my Dad's album collection about 2 or 3 or 4 years ago ... I remember liking it, though. _________________ If the end of the world has proper noodles I'll probably be okay with it. |

No really, I do. i actually don't so much. i like interesting artwork and lyrics in the booklet. it is sorta funny though. their new video is even similiar to their last video. has anyone heard Motorcade of Generosity? that's all i missing of their albums. _________________ I am Torgo.

Especially Fashion Nugget and Prolonging the Magic As far as individual songs, I'd recommend: The Distance Frank Sinatra I Will Survive Sheep Go To Heaven Never There When You Sleep Short Skirt/Long Jacket How Do You Afford Your Rock'N'Roll Lifestyle Those are all great songs. |

Meanwhile, Rick James...... is what brought me back to the band. i think it's one of their best songs. Commisioning a Symphony in C has also grown on me. so has anyone heard MOtorcade of Generosity? _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

I think most of them are singles, but I also think its a good range of songs to introduce someone to the band. |
