Since breaking on to the music scene in the early nineties, CAKE has not only survived, but thrived in a tumultuous industry where major labels have continued to merge themselves out of existence, indies are regaining power, and the average band's life span is a meager two albums. CAKE's distinctive brand of music has transcended scene and genre alike for over a decade, garnering the band several platinum records and a dedicated following. The band now brings forth a unique collection of "b-sides and rarities", their first release since 2004’s studio album "Pressure Chief". Songs on the album were originally sung by legendary singers such as Frank Sinatra, Barry White, Buck Owens, George Jones, Ozzy Osborne, and Kenny Rogers. The band has used these songs to find new creative elements within themselves, producing eloquently accomplished tracks that simultaneously maintain the band's own unique stamp. CAKE's "b-sides and rarities" comes complete with a collectible "scratch and sniff" CD package and features re-mixed and re-mastered tracks, plus an exclusive live bonus track of "War Pigs" with Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips.
Life got you a little down? Those Relationship woes seem to be stuck in park? Not sure where one life chapter ends and the next begins?
Here is to the pioneers before us and to those still ahead-to subway performers and cardboard ballerinas-to Fab 5 Freddy and his golden universe and Eddie Murphy's leather -to scrunched side pony's and sweatshirts off the shoulder-to Kangaroos and Adidas-to bucket hats and L.L. Cool J pleading "I need a Girl"-to simply dancing when you don't need a reason-
The Sort of-Kind of Plot-Four egocentric friends who run a neighborhood Irish pub in Philadelphia try to find their way through the adult world of work and relationships. Unfortunately, their warped views and precarious judgments often lead them to trouble, creating a myriad of uncomfortable situations that usually only get worse before they get better.
Described as a “romantic musical” told through numerous Beatles songs performed by the characters, Across The Universe is a love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock ‘n roll, the film moves from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam. The star-crossed lovers, Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with Dr. Robert (Bono) and Mr. Kite (Eddie Izzard) as their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy against all odds to find their own way back to each other.
It can be all so simple really...
Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the co#k, the pu#sy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
They may be British, they may whine alot, and yes Glorified Snobs-but would you want it any other way?
After some minor research into the depths of Eddie Vedder's wine pallet, I found an interview he did about a year ago explaining his taste of wine. The only clear and defined answer is of course his first.
Every home had one, now it's but a glimpse of basement back rooms and a place to set the t.v. in the garage, and so it is...
