Ok, my friends have been hearing me repeatedly mention this band. I love Cake. Not the dessert, but the band. Really I do. You can thank my brother and mother for picking up the CD, Fashion Nugget at record store. I picked up two used Mercury Program CDs. I'll write on them later.
But seriously, this band is awesome. I've been listening to this and metal, and Mercury Program for a weeks-- with some folk thrown in for good measure. Yeah, I like many musicial styles. :)
Now, let me try to describe their music. Their vocalist sounds like Elvis Costello, John Lennon, and various other bands. Then you hear lyrics that make you laugh, and make you think. Which I happen to love. Some examples, "sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell"
with a delightful tune in the background, then "I had a match, she had a ligght-er" talking about Mexico. This band is great. I listen to "The Distance" in the morning when getting ready, and then my day goes a little bit better with that smile and laugh at the beginning of my day. They are hard to describe, so listen to "Friend is a Four Letter Word," "Satan is my Motor," "Stickshifts and Safteybelts," "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" and various others. I have a long list of great songs by them. Funny how they all make me laugh, but yet they are all so true, wit, gotta love it.

But this band took me by surprise when I realized I was, well... addicted. Happily addicted. They bring some humor back into music, even though this album was produced a while back, it still remains new in music today. Pretty awesome. 
They do this indie rock hip-hop, with sarcasm and randomness. Which is great.

Which is great.They most definitely have their own style, and have that alternative rock feel that the ninties were so famous for, and that is part of what makes them so great-- seeing that style of music is what I grew up listening to, along with large variety of stuff.
So check them out, you won't regret it, and you will probably get a laugh out of it.
