Cake
 

ey, my friend gave me a little cd he made with heaps of cake songs on it. great band. sum of my favourites are "friend is a four letter word" "cool blue reason" "mexico" and "i will survive". post away...

Cake is a cool unique band. ^^^Those are all good songs by the way. Some of my favorite songs are "The Distance", "No Phone", "Sheep Go To Heaven", "Italian Leather Sofa."

This band is one of my favorite. Their awesome live, if you're up for so deep cuts try "Ain't no good for you" "You part the water" "Hem of your garmet" and "Comfort Eagle." Those are a few of my favorite tracks from them, i'd put it on a mix (cake mix)

Have Your Cake And Eat It Too
 

I personally enjoy italian leather sofa

hehe cake mix

I think The Distance was their one hit wonder but I also liked No Phone...I was hoping to buy their new album: Short Skirt, Long Jacket.

Absolutly not. They've had tons of "hits" on the radio. Sheep go to Heaven, Never there, Short Skirt long Jacket.

Also SSLJ is off their 4th album, their new Album Pressure Cheif (which has No Phone) is not called SSLJ . (The 4th was called Comfort Eagle)

I don't know, I looked up one hit wonders and it has The Distance on the list but I really liked that song Short Skirt Long Jacket too.

(even if that has nothing to do with it being a hit)

Well I wouldn't count chart position as something being a hit.

right you are

Cake fans anyone?
 

Cake is an awesome band with a unique talent... has songs such as "Building a Religion" and the remake "I will survive" but not very popular... actually, i dont really know anyone except for 1 person who have even heard of them... anyone fans of them or even know them?:hphones:

Um im a super fan, and its not "building a religeon" its "comfort eagle". I've seen them 3 or 4 times. Amazing band, ill write more in 10 mins.

Ahhh Cake Are ****ing KICK ARSE WOOO

The guy who plays trumpet in that band is amazing. I was rather disappointed with their last CD having alot of machinery involved, but it was still good. And their last concert I went to this summer was on fire. They even brought out "Ruby sees all" from Motorcade of Generocity.

I haven't heard them mentioned once so far and was just wondering if anyone knows who they are. (yes, i know who they are...)

I got Comfort Eagle a year or, so ago. It's really catchy I like it.

Cake....Hmmmmm. I have "Fashion Nugget" and "Comfort Eagle" floating around somewhere. Not bad, but I find you've got to be in the right mood for a listen.

Especially chops

where is that quote from?

Some retard that decided to have a f*ckwit fest yesterday.

Gone now.

If you ever get to see this band live - DO!!

I like ice cream cake with the fudge crackle in the middle

Not bad, but not something I'm totally into as much as I probably should be. I enjoy them in small doses.

Cake is a great band. You'll never find a band that sounds like them. The combination of horns and normal band instruments (guitar, bass, drums), along with their lead singer's super unique voice and weirdass lyrics make them good. Check out the song "Friend Is A Four Letter Word", because it's spectacular.

Good song that is..I havent heard it in awhile..

Someone care to share?

Yep, Friend Is A Four Letter Word, Never There and Frank Sinatra are my favs.

Like the Flamming Lips with less recognition, Cake has arrived as elder statesmen ten years plus into their career.

The melodies are certainly great, but the backing harmonies that the crowd constantly sing in concert make every song for me. Not to mention that as Trumpeters go (and granted I don't know many), Vincent DiFiori (I could have spelled that wrong) is absolutely dynamite.

The lyrics too tend to be bare-boned and minimal, getting to the point rather than writing something to make the literary world take notice. And you can tell where the influence came from, when they cover Willie Nelsons' "sad songs and waltzes", its hard to tell when that starts becoming a Cake song.

I honestly don't think they ever had the recognition they deserved and you can never guess as to why with these types of things but I guess we should just consider ourselves lucky to be in league with great music.

I was learning Opera Singer on bass the other day.

I almost squirted soda from my nose when I read that. I find it hilarious!

I guess my mind is just extremely perverted
