OK, so I don't know much about them, but I know someone who LOVES them. I'm wondering if they have any rare stuff out there that I could get my hands on for a x-mas present for this person.

    they're the ones who did a really cool cover of I Will Survive in the late 90's.

    No - it was "he" that went the distance. "He" also went for speed. "She" was all alone...all alone...in her time of need.

    Check your facts man. Gloria Gaynor totally ripped them off. Don't be fooled just because her "original" version came out 20 years earlier.

    Well, I did find a tour poster I can get. I found a sweatshirt, but it's the wrong size.

    Shit band from Sacramento. For those who live(d) there, LGS was 100 times better without getting the necessary recognition.

    Lol, that made me laugh so hard. Maybe because that song brings me back to middle school. I bought that CD for my friends 12th birthday.

    That's about the right age to appreciate cake as musicians

    Well, I like Cake well enough, and to the previous poster, I also did not feel any love for Pressure Chief, it was the different types of percussion on Comfort Eagle that made that one good.

    At Edgefest a couple of years back, I saw Cake. The concert was on Canada Day, and the lead singer was trying to get people to sing along to The Distance, but no one was into it. Sooooo, he made a comment along the lines of 'No wonder its so easy for us Americans to walk all over you'. On Canada Day. In front of 10,000 Canadians. As you can imagine, the storm of sand-filled pop bottles that hit the stage ended their set pretty quickly. One hit the keyboard and fucked it up, and on that note the singer called the crowd a bunch of assholes, gave them the finger, and walked off stage. The only act remaining that night was Nickelback. Talk about a bunch of bullshit right there.

    Cake are a god awful band. I remember seeing the video for "Going the distance"(or whatever the name of that shit song is)......and thinking that this band will go nowhere...how they are popular is beyond me.

    I never really got into any of their stuff... i found the music was a bit boring and repetitive for my taste.

    This song made me laugh really hard the first time I heard it ... I've known quite a few people who fit this profile ....

    Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly.
    How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzi?
    And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
    Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?

    Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs,
    Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.
    And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t-shirt
    That proves you were there,
    That you heard of them first?

    How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
    How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
    How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
    Ah, tell me.

    How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
    The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
    And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,
    One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
    And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
    As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
    And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
    As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.

    Aging black leather and hospital bills,
    Tattoo removal and dozens of pills.
    Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments,
    But rock on completely with some brand new components.

    How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
    How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?
    How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

    Excess ain't rebellion.
    You're drinking what they're selling.
    Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.
    Your chaos won't convert them.
    They're so happy to rebuild it.
    You'll never really kill it.
    Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.
    You're drinking what they're selling.
    Excess ain't rebellion.
    You're drinking,
    You're drinking,
    You're drinking what they're selling.
