Oh my god. I've just realised in the song "Daria" by Cake, he's not singing

"I won't be soothed over like,
Smoothed over like milk,
Silk, a bedspread, or a quilt,
I sing on a cake,
Or a serene translucent lake."

He's singing ICING ON A CAKE. :doh:

I have tickets to the Del Mar music festival in a couple weeks that I mostly bought because Cake is gonna be there and they've been my second favorite band for the last fifteen years (first favorite I guess technically since Page isn't in BNL anymore). Found out a couple days ago I probably won't actually get to see them because the two artists my boyfriend wants to see are back to back, on the same stage, while Cake is gonna be on a different stage and quite neatly occupying the same timeslot as inconveniently as possible :sigh:

This post doesn't really have anything to do with anything aside from my general frustration at KABOO's scheduling and desire to vent

e: new page, nailed it

You could see Cake on your own, though I do understand their could be reasons you'd rather not do that. Just throwing it out there.

Oh for sure, but the intent of the tickets was as a together activity, not a, gently caress off and go see my band while you gently caress off and see your bands, activity. Ah well.

Just to throw a little gas on the fire:

Cake gives an absolutely fantastic live show (they did a 15 minute jam cover of War Pigs at one show). They are by far my favorite band and the fact you are skipping them tells me this guy is super cereal The One for you.

Well, so long as they don't pull a BNL and McCrea fucks off in 2019 I'll be okay (ask me about getting talked out of my tickets to one of BNL's last shows before they went public with the split please don't actually ask me)

Edit:

Also Emil's Song in nier automata has lyrics.

I thought it was just scatting or lyrics in that fake dead language from Nier.

Galaxy brain: Knowing that there are many arguments to suggest that "Frankenstein" is a perfectly reasonable name to call the Monster.

A story about a man whose penis begins to speak, lectures him at length about his mistreatment of it, and then proceeds to destroy everything he loves before spending some one on one time with an old sailor at sea before disappearing into the ocean.



Wait, did I just turn the story into a metaphor for repressed homosexuality?

In researching my retort about Elizabeth bring wrecked by Frankenstein's monster on her wedding night, I learned that Mary Shelly was only 18 when she wrote the story and 20 when it was published. Didn't know that!

Mary Shelly wrote the story while getting high on laudanum with Percy Bysshe Shelly, Lord Byron, and Lord Byron's dealer who was probably in love with Lord Byron. So maybe.

Well they had to stay inside because it was The Year Without a Summer and the weather was poo poo.

Also Lord Byron made up a story about a vampire that seduces chicks before murdering them and just happens to have the exact same name as the villain from a story that one of his exes wrote. A villain that was very transparently based on Byron.

Then his doctor/possible boy toy wrote it down and fleshed it out a bit resulting in the first piece of vampire fiction, at least in English, and at very least the first example of a vampire that's a suave aristocrat.

So a bunch of young people loving around Europe and getting bored from being cooped up inside all the time resulted in two mega influential works of horror fiction.

It's hard to hear it as "fuss and fight" even when I try. But I trust you're right.

I also didn't realize this was a cover, and the lyric is a bit clearer in the original.

Maybe Massive Attack thought it actually was "fussy fart." :v:
