Like, how bout this LF, you asked in another thread about where to begin with the Decemberists...there's a pretty cut-and-dry answer to that question. The same logic doesn't apply for CAKE. It's all good. They are all accessible alternative rock tunes that are easy and fun to jump into.
I agree 100% - Cake has not put out a bad album at all. I celebrate their entire catalog

fashion nugget was one of my favorite albums of the 90's...is the new album any good? (perhaps i should read this thread )
Just saw Cake in Boca Raton, Florida as part of their Evening with Cake Tour. It was fantastic, small crowd, sounded great, played a good mix of new and old. They played Sheep go to Heaven, Short Skirt Long Jacket and Going the Distance. The new album is pretty good, but I guess you can say all there albums sound the same since the lead singer has such a monotone. Their sound reminds me of Beck with a touch of Flaming Lips.

That's great! Glad you had fun at the circus. Hmm, Beck with a touch of Flaming Lips? Interesting. Never made that connection. I dig it. I'd like to add a dash of alt-country early Wilco with a splash of Beastie Boys rhyme-time.

I was there!!!!
Great show!!!!
and your observation about beck/flaming lips is so true....
I love how well the new album blends with the others.
Federal Funding, Racecar YaYas, Teenage Pregnancy, Up So Close, Perhaps x3, Take it all Away, Sad Songs & Waltzes, Ruby Dont take Your Love to Town, Mahna Mahna, Whats Now is Now, She'll Hang the Baskets(great underrated song), Mustache Man Wasted, Conroy, You Part the Waters, Daria, ShortSkirt/LongJacket, Nugget
That's today's mix.
I have also realized that there's a distinct absence of "Ok", "Alright", "Oh no", "Ho" and "Oh yeah" from John McCrea on the new album. That's my favorite part of these songs! You guys know what I'm talking about, right?

Oh man I love those!!! Always felt like a live tune because of it... I can not believe I still have not gotten the album... :shock:
Fashion Nugget is my fav, don't mind the new one though, think it's pretty good! Does anyone know if they ever came to Australia?? Or ever coming??

According to setlist.fm they played a festival in Brisbane in 1997. Not sure if they've ever gone back since. They really should do an Aussie tour after promoting Showroom of Compassion in the US.
Question for you guys:
Better instrumental: Teenage Pregnancy from the new album OR Conroy from B-sides and Rarities
Both are complex and rich in my opinion, but the nod goes to TP.

Been through once and I have to say it's so nice to have some new Cake to listen too... Really love Long Time, Italian Guy the first time through and FF Teenage Pregnancy really is AMAZING and interesting... I'll have to give it a few more goes to give an opinion on your question.
Yeah I agree TP is just a smidgen better but i like both. 1997!!!! Wow, I would have been 13!! I think I remember them playing on an Aussie show called Recovery now I think about it. That would have been good to see but I was into harder stuff when I was that age, thanks to a metal head older brother.

Awesome show, I was there too. He talks a lot, but it was kinda fun (except that tree thing took waaay too long!)
For those of you with a 3D TV. This looks really cool actually.

Great band and great live but they dont mix up their sets. I just saw them two consecutive nights and the second night was almost identical to the first only two different songs, also the stage banter was exactly word for word the same. So unless you want to pay for the same show multiple times dont see them more than once on a tour

Agreed. HOWEVER, I've seen them 3 times in the last 3 years and the setlists varied considerably. And as for the stage banter, I think it all depends because I saw them in a park in Lowell last year during a torrential rain and lightning storm and they were talking about all kinds of different stuff I'd never heard in all my years of seeing these guys. That show was memorable to say the least. They dedicated it to the guy who was electrocuted onstage at Woodstock.

my manager saw them last night at the keswick and won't shut up about how good they were.
yeah before this most recent two night stand i had saw them three other times and got three completely different shows which was why i thought it would be a good idea to see them two shows in a row when the opportunity presented itself. And not to take away from the performance which was excellent both nights, the variety was just very dissapointing.it was just a total bummer to see the same show twice and i want to give people a heads up in case they were thinking about going more than once on the same tour like i did
