Artist Lounge: Cake
Cake Albums
View Albums >Cake Biography
Cake's colorful cross-genre take on 1990s alt-rock produced a couple of radio hits (including a cover of Donna Summer's "I Will Survive"), and filled a void on the charts left by Camper Van Beethoven and They Might Be Giants. The Bay Area ensemble's infusing of rock with jazz, lounge, funk, country, and hip-hop was accomplished with equal parts irony and true reverence for those disparate styles.

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.... MORE

4My 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........ MORE

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 Milwau... MORE

2I'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... MORE

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?

Yehaw! Yah, you betcha! Went in today for my second rabies shot! Not so bad. Just one shot in the arm, not the 2 additional ones in the ass. Yesterday when bat extraction expert #2 came by the apt. - he found no bat in the cracks between the window molding and wall... hmmmm. .. I haven't seen the bat in the apt. - so where the f*ck did he go? I haven't heard him in the wall either. So - I'm thinking he got out. Found a narrow passage way in athe walls that led to the out...
