Cake

1) I think Cake is (are) under appreciated as interpreters of others' work. They reimagine War Pigs not too differently, but instead of sludge we get a crystallized sound and a bass that's nervous and edgy creating a tension not found in Sabbath's version. 2) I wonder why I can open my DVD player from across the room using my remote? 3) REM's new cd disappoints only in so far as their attempt to come full circle misses the mark. Its great. Loud, crunchy rocknroll c

Do you believe in the one big sign? The double-wide shine on the boot heels of your prime There's no need to ask directions if you ever lose your mind We're behind you, we're behind you, and let us please remind you We can send a car to find you if you ever lose your way we are building a religion. If these are not some of the best lyricists in this world, then I am missing something about the english language.

My husband worked 104 hours last week and he worked 94 hours this week. He is on-call today (this means he went to work early this morning and comes home tomorrow afternoon.) He was on-call last Friday and SUnday and today, Saturday. He has to take a big work test next Saturday. Next Sunday will be his first day off in 20 days. Worked three weekends in a row. Feeling bitter and resentful. When I think of my husband I always think of this song.....

This song never fails to get me out of any funk I might be in.

I went to the UST at Constitution Hall in D.C. on Monday night. Since it was anchored by Cake (one of my favorite bands), it was a great show. I discovered a couple new artists - Brazilian Girls was one of the opening acts, and they definitely piqued my interest with their strong beats, eclectic influences, and lead singer's mastery of, apparently, five different languages. It was a better show than the last Cake show I went to - a New Year's Eve show last year in Milwa... MORE

Whether you're pushing for a big deadline or getting psyched for a big race...this is your song. It has been my psych up theme song this past month.

I've liked these cats for a long while now, so I'm biased fo sho. But I have to admit to getting a huge kick out of this album. There's something about a slightly nerd rock crew like Cake covering Barry White that makes me giggle. Scratch and sniff liner notes are cool too. They note that they were made from recycled paper and vegetable dye, which is cool, but it would have been nicer to do away with the jewel case entirely. A small thing. Very Fun album. Here's a ...

My step father is dying. Some of the people in my life are aware of the fact. Most of you don't know. He has about 1 week left. But hope is eternal and he keeps pushing back the boundaries of when he should die and has us all thinking he can live on forever even though it is bound to happen that he will falter and leave us. It is a sad time. Often I look at him and I am left without words, I don't know what to say. I want to tell him how much I have grown to respect an... MORE

This little ditty sums up a day in the car with my sexy man. Off to Asheville - through the mountains...Peace

THE DRUMS POUND against the night air, your mind, body and soul plead, beg and bite against the restraint you fight to exert. Will you win?
