I haven't been involved in the cake planning, so I can't say for sure. But I do know it's being made by Peg Hambright (Magpies), so it'll be a real cake, a real good cake, not one a them mushy, pasty Kroger cakes.

Cake? Their new CD is horrible. I hear there is one in the mailbox of a 'Blabber somewhere West of Shannondale.

Oh, Scary. This statement only proves that your poor little ears have become so full of wax (and so damaged from your trying to dig out the wax with your car keys (yes, I know you have fancy cars and am so very, very impressed)) that you can no longer hear correctly. We shall have to take up a collection to get you your first Miracle Ear...

Martini, how daft can you possibly be?

Tell you what, I'll put my ears against your ears in a little battle. We will each pick from a selection of new released singles as to how each will do. Choices will be: No chart, Top 40, Top 20, Top 10 or Number uno.

Are you game?

let's make this good. After a three month period the winner gets to write your "music" column for an entire month. Deal?

My daftness knows no limits. Case in point: I'm continuing this conversation.

Ah. I see once again you've equated commercial success with goodness. Will the new Cake CD (called Comfort Eagle) spawn any chart hits? No, probably not. But it is a very, very, very good CD nonetheless.

Are you game?

Nope. Mostly because I know you'd manipulate every last nuance of every last word simply to weasel out of it. Frankly, I can find more fulfilling ways to spend time.

Send me some interesting, well-written copy and you could write it this week. But in this case, I get to decide what's "good." Sorry.

Smart choice on your part. You would have lost the contest within two weeks.

However, if you or anyone on your staff would like to test their music savy the rules (which are concrete and can't be manipulated) are:

1. As ranked by industry journal Radio and Records.
2. The list of songs is picked from the new releases for the chosen format.
3. Picks must be made prior to 12 noon for the Monday week of adds to format.
4. Tracking will be by RRonline.com.

As for Cake, their single "Short Skit, Long Jacket" went for adds and barely got any. According to both SoundScan and BDS their last outing was less than favorable.

Psst! Adrienne! Take the bet, stipulate some entertaining penalty for missed deadlines, and then predict that "Kajagoogoo: Retrospective '82-'85" will sweep the charts.

Bring it on bowling pin boy. ....sigh......

Think it over, I have ample time to write so how the hell could I miss a deadline? Shit, I would have the entire four guest shots written in under thirty minutes.
