This Ordinary Life

Now I enjoy my music. Music makes you smile on your darkest days and gives you perspectives on situations you never knew existed. Cleaning toilets, running up muddy vales and mundane chores suddenly become enjoyable, life's tragedies a bit more manageable. It’s like magic.

I am not too picky about genre. However, there are certain bands that shine out above the rest. Cake is definitely one of these.

Your day is crap and you need a boost? Listen to "Sheep go to Heaven". Your day is slow? Listen to “The Distance”. Cake pretty much have a pick-up song for every downer.

The only shame is that I once saw Cake in concert at the Shepherds Bush Empire and the lead singer was an arrogant w@nker. Sadly, artistic brilliance isn't equivalent to social grace.

But in the case of Cake, the quality of their music more than makes up for it...
