On Mr Mastodon Farm

Fri, August 1, 2008 - 6:55 PM PST

So I cannot say why, but as Linda was ordering a pizza over the phone just now, I became overwhelmed by the lyrics of Cake's "Mr Mastodon Farm". I began to sing it. I was actually doing a pretty good job at it, if I don't say so myself. Linda, however, she didn't care for it.

She has bad taste sometimes. It's really too bad.

The thing is, I don't think she's ever actually heard the song before. You have right? You know that it's magical. She swore that she didn't like it - never liked it - and would never like it - but again, she had never even heard it before. This really bothered me.

So I'm playing it now in the living room. Linda is in the bedroom. She probably can't hear it. Which means she still hasn't heard it.

It's a good song though.

I've been to plenty of concerts in my day, including Cake. I still insist that it was the best show that I ever went to. Just awesome.

I haven't heard any of their albums since "Comfort Eagle". I don't know why I haven't picked any of their stuff up since then because I really like that album.

I think that's enough rambling about Cake.
