Not the desert Entrée, the band. I have always had a hard time putting a genre to Cake as they are so very inconsistent. While this is what I enjoy the most about them I find I like to put things in categories so not having a good one for Cake perturbs me slightly. They get bundled in with Alternative most of the time which is just a way to describe bands that don't fit into a good solid genre like Blues, or Thrash Metal, you know the standards lol. I got to thinking about this as I was listening to their version of Short Skirt, Long Jacket on their B Sides cd. They use the faster style that is popular with some of their earlier tunes like The Distance, and while it is still a good song I much prefer the more subtle original release as I feel it gives it the right feel.
