So driving into work this morning, my favorite local radio station was having a discussion about mexico, it being May 5th and all. They discuss various songs concerning the matter, and secretly, I hoped they would play the one and only Cake song. I didnt expect much, its an obscure jam. But lo and behold, the opening nylon guitar riff exploded from my speakers….fantastic.
Such a confusing and heartbreaking tune. A timeless one for the ages. But I just realized, when things start getting weird, for the last few years I’ve said “well, fuck it, I’m going to Mexico.” And now with this frikkin swine flu, its just not in the cards. I need a new last resort getaway location, and an amazing cowboy ballad to go with it. Can someone write me a song about Cuba? Perhaps Macchu Piccu?
