Artist: CAKE

After a second, third and fourth batch of my Lemon Curd and Sour Cherry Bars I still had some lemon curd and cherries wasting away in the refrigerator. I figured it would just stay there until the day (yesterday) when all I had in the house to eat was gluten and I was so desperate for something, anything else that I'd grab the nearly moldy curd and shriveled cherries and shove them into my mouth. But Jacqueline made the waiting unnecessary when she posted this . Ahh, lemon curd and cherries squeezed between puffy cakes that Queen [...]

Cake : Stickshifts and Safetybelts [ purchase ] Rather than describe a mode of transportation or a destination, this 1996 song from Cake's Fashion Nugget highlights the narrator's frustration with the "stickshifts and safetybelts [and] bucket seats" that prevent proximity and therefore physical affection in vehicles. There's no layered meaning to be found in these lyrics—no stacked symbolism or clever extended metaphor—as will be found in most Cake songs. Instead, this is a straightforward plea: "I need you here with me, not way over in a bucket seat." [...]

Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Cake Video: 'Mustache Man (Wasted)' Highlight: "We knew from the outset that we wanted a video that was exciting and funny -- but also a bit unnerving," guitarist Xan McCurdy tells Spinner. "Alicia (J. Rose, our director) delivered that -- and more." Singer John McCrea adds, "We wanted a video that was both creepy AND life-affirming. I think we got more than we bargained for here."

New Jean Greasy is always a good thing. The NYC based lyricist is without a doubt one of the most prominent female MC's of the last decade and perhaps of all time. Today we get a leak titled "U & Me & Everyone We Know" off Grae's long awaited LP Cake or Death , due spring 2012. U & Me & Everyone We Know by Jeangreasy

Popular music and the way we consume has changed a great deal in the past 20 or so years. CAKE on the other hand exist in their own bubble continuing to pinch from seemingly dated influences and turning them into something all together more timeless. The Californians pull off every move from their personal playbook [...]

It's been a long year. Scratch that, it's been a veeerrrry long year. From social revolutions to the end of our occupation of Iraq, from the death of celebrities and dictators to a man who sneezes bullets and the mystery of planking, the world experienced a slew of emotions and all sorts of cultural and political upheaval in 2011. And that's not even counting the plethora of music news that had the blogosphere abuzz this year . So, as the question begs, what comes next? Well, 2012. If you were to believe certain [...]

This is a shot of my birthday cupcake baked by J-Fur. It was Lavendar infused cake, filled with homemade lemon curd and iced with Citrus-Lavendar icing. As one of the kids in my class would say "I have just one word for you. It was Marvelous." Hey, I didn't teach those guys how to count, I just multiply and divide with them. We drizzled the leftover lemon curd over Beecher's Cheddar Cheese for a beautiful sweet, salty, punch of a snack. I like my birthday music not like my cupcakes. That is [...]
