Eh, I saw them on the Showroom tour; ultimately I was able to muster more enthusiasm for the tree ceremony than I was for most of the material from that album. And Cake could have all the room in the world for jamming, but unless it's 'Jolene' you're never going to see them play a song for more than four minutes. Nothing wrong with it, but for me Cake is one of those band whose albums got incrementally less satisfying from first to last.
I wonder if they're gonna do the tree thing at Sasquatch. Hope not; I'd hate to see Cake go down as the most hated set since the Flaming Lips in 2011.

Cake already was the most hated set.

Hmmm, well that sucks that they don't jam it out when they ought to, but I completely disagree with their albums getting incrementally less satisfying, and even if they do the tree thing -- which thy probably will -- I will love that shit just like I loved the Flaming Lips in 2011.

Cake already was the most hated set. I've wanted Cake at Sasquatch for so long that I was willing to accept cake.

Akron/Family - Love is Simple
This is the only record I've listened to today. Over and over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over again. I just keep flippin' these damn things. Sometimes I go in backwards order. Sometimes I'll listen to side 1 and then side 4 and it's like I'm warping through time. Sometimes I spin the needle in reverse and hear Satan. This isn't my usual style (listening to the same record all day, not time warps and Satan - those definitely are my style); I think the last time I listened to only one record for an entire day was the day In Rainbows was released.
Badchoices- you were asking for an Akron/Family recommendation. Definitely choose this one if you can find it.

Just for fun, ranked from best to worst:
S/T Split EP S/T II Love is Simple Set Em Wild, Set Em Free Meek Warrior
Tempted to throw that Best of Seth compilation on there somewhere but I have no idea where I'd put it.

Gramma's Boyfriend - The Human Eye I would have never expected anyone to have heard of this on here and I think you would be the person I'd have been the least likely to guess if I tried. How'd you come across it?

I was listening to this album today. It left a pretty good first impression.

Unfortunately I don't think anything will ever measure up to Cloud Chasers for me, but it's pretty decent for sure.

Gramma's Boyfriend - The Human Eye I would have never expected anyone to have heard of this on here and I think you would be the person I'd have been the least likely to guess if I tried. How'd you come across it? I would have never known about that album if it wasn't for a record club that I was in. Graveface Records (out of Savannah, GA) have a records club where you pay a fee and you get everything they put out for the next 10 releases. I did two different rounds with them and thought I was done. I received a package from them recently by surprise and The Human Eye was in it. I can't say that I love/like everything that I have received from Graveface but it is fun getting albums that I would never have heard otherwise. How do you know that band? Edit: Regarding the Cloud Cult discussion, Happy Hippo all the way!

They're a local band from Minneapolis and they opened for a show I saw one time. Haley Bonar is pretty famous around here for her solo stuff so they're relatively well known around here but mostly just as a curiosity. I wouldn't say I'm really a fan but it was enjoyable enough stuff.
