“Going The Distance” is my favorite Cake song, but I like this video.

Side note: I can’t believe it didn’t occur to me until just now that there are probably parallels to be made between Cake and Beck.

Another smart video from Alanis Morisette. Back when Jagged Little Pill first came out, I was something like a sophomore in college, and I (like a lot of guys, I think) had a kind of reflexive negative reaction especially to “You Oughta Know.” I tuned her out for quite a while, but I finally softened up and listened a bit more closely. Oddly enough, it was her episode of “Behind The Music” that fully turned me around. I haven’t really sought out collecting any of her music, but I now really admire the intelligence behind her stuff.

That’s one of my favorite Cake songs ever. That’s the first time I’ve seen the video, though, and it was definitely amusing.

I also really enjoyed the Alanis song. Every once in a while she pops back up on the radio and I remember how much I’ve liked her music. Good lyrics.

I found myself trying to figure out all the locations in the Cake video. I did recognize some SF scenes (Pier 39 was obvious)… I’m sure some of it was filmed in Sac as well.

Try it now. I can’t believe it went away between last night and this morning.

It says the cake video is no longer available for me.
