I went to a Cake show about five years ago, got into a fight with security, waited outside the back door and shook John McCrae's hand before he got into an early 90s Honda Accord. With nothing else to do after that, I hitched a ride with a Mexican and a man with a gray pony tail. We popped a bunch of Xanax, made a quick stop at a crack house, and parted ways a couple miles from my home. I g...

Sounds Academy in Toronto, Ontario Photos and Review by: Pete NemaCake Paper LionsSeptember 25, 2008 Full Photo Set (8 photos) For me, Paper Lions were the big surprise of Virgin Festival this year. I realize it's not even a month later, but I wanted to get out and see them again. And since they were paired with Cake, one of my favourite bands from the 90's, it just seemed right.Paper LionsMuc...

>>>>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...

Many have mentioned the ability of a good cover to enhance, or even change completely our perception of that song. Sometimes the novelty of hearing a familiar song done radically different is very satisfying. Sometimes not.Well this track by Cake is not radically different, but it is more grounded in rocknroll. And love that trumpet.

This is a particularly striking cover because I'm sure we all think of this song so much as a feminist anthem. Hearing it done by a male vocalist in this musical setting really knocks me out. The minimalist accompaniment and funky bass line really serve up the lyrics. The way the guitar duets with the singer near the end really sends me. Then that trumpet bridge into the ride out. Beautiful!
