It's a Pretty Cake, But Do I HAVE To Eat It?

Cake. The Band. Walked into somewhere recently and was reminded how much of a love-hate relationship I have with these guys. Musically, tight as hell, but with such a toxic degree of hipster cynicism that it’s no surprise I haven’t listened to them in years.
