2023 Charity Shop Purchases #48 - CAKE - Fashion Nugget
People often refer to me as a Fashion Nugget. So often, in fact, that most now abbreviate it and settle for calling me a Nugget.
I thought I may had already got Fashion Nugget the second album by CAKE (I'll come back to the capitals) from 1996 on the Capricorn label. A quick check of the data base confirmed that the only album of theirs that I had was its successor 1998's Prolonging the Magic and so it was duly purchased.
The fact that I have a CD single of the track The Distance and the song Frank Sinatra from a Sopranos soundtrack merely added to the confusion.
I think that Frank Sinatra merits a further appearance and I will also throw in their cover of Gloria Gaynor's epic I Will Survive
Band names in capitals? Just marginally less annoying that band names where the vowels have been removed.
"People often refer to me as a Fashion Nugget"..........it's that Jimmy Perez jacket

DeleteGreat album. I wasn't aware they insisted on capitals. I never comply with such nonsense.
ReplyDeleteSaid it before nearly every band that insist on capitals are brilliant. SWC.
ReplyDeleteA great album and no mistake. This used to live in my car 24/7 along with Eels' first album which I seem to remember buying around the same time?
ReplyDeleteYou have to love CAKE don't you?. Brilliant. For some head scratching reason they're miles under the radar of whoever/whatever passes as arbiters of the musical zeitgeist. Got a few albums by them but they seem not to have put anything out for a few years so perhaps they've split up. I can't abide the song I Will Survive no matter who sings it but if it's a great cover you're after look no further than their take on Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town
