Description:

I suppose this is as good a place as any to talk about the show in general. Here's the thing: When you knowingly overpay for a new year's "event" show, you really oughtn't have any lingering ripped-off feelings afterwards. Somehow, whatever Milwaukee radio station put this show together managed to cause just that, however. Most of what was advertised for the show simply wasn't there. The first opening act, the Scarring Party, actually played a "pre-party" before the main show. The complimentary hors d'oeurves apparently didn't last until showtime. We'd read about tarot card readers somewhere, which didn't happen. The midnight champagne toast was apparently just for the band, who used the stroke of 2007 as an opportunity for an unannounced ten-minute break in their set. And, of course, cocktails were almost $8 at the bar. I guess what I'm saying is, if your MOR radio station wants to put on a show like this and not come through, fine, but please don't have your stupid morning zoo crew DJ's spend fully a half an hour on stage doing their schtick. I'd have gladly chipped in an extra $5 to not sit through that idiocy, which is the biggest reason I don't listen to the radio as it is. That said, please enjoy this cover of Bread's "The Guitar Man."

Cake is one of the best bands ever. I saw them play on 12/6/07 in Providence and it was a great show. John is the shit. It was amazing to see Vince rock a few trumpet solos from songs I love like "Frank Sinatra" "Italian Leather Sofa" and "Mexico"

Wow. I find that hard to believe. I saw them at University of Tennessee last year, and they were absolutely amazing. I guess, like everyone, they have on and off nights.

John McCrea is a guy who a lot of people find it easy to misunderstand...I didn't like the concert I went to a couple years ago, but Cake has always had good music through their CD's.
