Cake is Yum

Cake is Yum, yes indeed

But I'm referring to the American band "Cake"

Cake has been around since we were just tiny babies or even before that when you were just little... well since i just had dinner i will let you finish that sentence.

I would be quite surprised if the fact that any of you haven't heard of them as they are quite famous with their unusual music style of somewhat alternative rock combined with Jazz.

If I'm completely honest (no offense to brass playing person) i can often find brass somewhat annoying and somewhat screechy, but in the cake albums i have fallen somewhat in love with the Trumpet with its simplicity but moves the song into the 3rd dimension.

Another reason i really like Cake are they way their songs sound so simple but when you listen there are really tricky guitar rifts (sounds tricky, i wouldn't know a clue) that really power the songs along.

But i must say one of the best reasons i like this band apart from the great songs like Daria, I Will Survive (Great cover) & Wheels. Is the fact that most of the band sound out of time when in fact they are not, its really just a Mind F*%$.

Heres the link for my favourite of their songs at the moment Wheels, although the song is good, the music video leaves a lot to be desired

  3. Just to clear it up, Cake is American not Canadian.
