In which I link to a review of the new Cake album... and there's a grilled cheese reference.

I haven't been much of a Cake fan in the '00s, but they certainly did have their day in my music collection. And while the review I'm going to refer to in a second does not make me want to run out and pick up this new album, it did make about as funny and clever an analogy I've seen in some time. 


allmusic reviewer Mark Deming says:


…2011's Showroom Of Compassion, still finds John McCrea writing like he's tossing off random thoughts as he struggles not to be overwhelmed by the voices in his head, and singing as if he's waiting for that grilled cheese sandwich he ordered to finally show up.


From now on, I shall strive to enter blog posts as though I'm still waiting for my grilled cheese sandwich to show up.

  1. I love Cake, will always love them no matter what crap they put out. Really, they are the only original "different" band out there and are always striving to be so...I do also love grilled cheeses.
