Cake - The Distance

This is the song that introduced most of us to Cake. I loved this song and listened to it often, but for some unexplainable reason I always assumed they were a one-hit-wonder band. It wasn’t until years later I actually checked them out and learned I love all their songs. And I do mean all of them - that’s rare.

Directed in 1996 by Mark Kohr. Kohr is probably best known for the 9 Green Day videos he directed in the 1990s. He also directed Primus’ My Name Is Mud - which would have been on this site if Universal wasn’t forbidding embedding (can someone tell me what these Music companies are possibly thinking by doing that?)

    Isn’t it obvious? Now that MTV, BET, MuchMusic, etc. don’t show music videos, the only way to show these videos (videos designed to promote artists and sell music) is on the net. However, since this would be a move that would MAKE SENSE, music companies must do the opposite. And then scratch their collective heads and say downloading music is killing the music biz, just like they warned us that MTV/music videos would kill the radio, and that mix tapes would stop people from buying cassettes. Giant companies ALWAYS know what’s going on with the public, especially when it comes to using new technology to reach that public.
