Sometimes a song just is catchy and gets stuck in your head. Then sometimes another song is just as catchy and gets stuck in your head too. Then another. Then you realize… These catchy songs stuck in your head all come from the same artist!

This happened to me with Tokyo Police Club, a cool indie rock band out of Ontario, Canada. First, I heard “Nature of the Experiment.” Then “Cheer It On.” Then “Be Good.” Then I bought their A Lesson In Crime EP. Then I heard “Your English Is Good” and “Tessellate” and bought their first full-length album, Elephant Shell. They continue to impress and I look forward to their next album. Great little guitar riffs, interesting lyrics, fun, upbeat stuff that makes you just want to keep on listening.

They’re playing a couple of shows at the 2010 Winter Olympics in February and will be making an appearance on the second day at Coachella, which I will definitely be attending. I liked the Coachella lineup at first glance and was on the fence about making the trip, but when I saw that Tokyo Police Club was playing, that sealed the deal! Whether you see them live, download some singles, or buy an album, definitely check them out.

What’s UP Juneau!? I AM! That’s WHAT!

CAKE. New Year’s Eve. The Moore Theatre. Seattle. Full moon. Blue moon. Lunar eclipse. What more could you want!?

CAKE put on an awesome show, playing brand new material and of course revisiting classics like Sheep Go To Heaven, Italian Leather Sofa, and Jolene. CAKE doesn’t use setlists for their concerts – they “wing it” the show, making up the set as they go along. I was personally hoping to hear my favorite CAKE song, Stickshifts & Safetybelts, but that didn’t happen… Next time.

As it got closer to midnight and 2010, screens on either side of the stage showed the countdown. CAKE finished their set and left the stage shortly before 12:00am and returned as the countdown hit 00:00:00 and began playing Auld Lang Syne to usher in the New Year.

All in all, it was the perfect end to 2009 and the perfect start to 2010. I had been wanting to see CAKE play live for a long time and this was a great introduction to their live shows. I look forward to catching them again sometime. If they’re in your area, check them out!

Obligatory bad cell phone photos:
