lyrics

Ah, say what you will, but I’d rather let them eat cake first
There’s no debate how I came to negate the first verse for this drivel
Wait! Just let me swivel and try another tact for a while

Rumours of my demise have been greatly compromised and suppressed by those in the news
Hey, if they won’t report on it, they must have been bought, no?
What about Hillary’s lies, or Debbie’s surprise that we found out about their attempt to circumvent Sanders?
They sure seem bitter, so they’ll ask Jack at Twitter to silence the debate for a while,
Create a distraction and mass media inaction ensues
Of course there’s remorse, but I’d rather this discourse took on a happy ending, wouldn’t you?

Let them eat cake

Well, in the end I guess it’s just a word, just a promise, just a token point of view
But heck, I’m not Katy Perry, so I can’t expect Kingsmill to want to play me, at least any time soon
Let him mull over his taxpayer funded job description before he pulls the trigger for subscription to change

Let them eat cake

Hmm, I think we’ve been here before so maybe this time I’m just let the folklore speak for itself

Let them eat cake

Dan Webb Melbourne, Australia

Exploring the avant-garde while retaining a pop sensibility, his music is as enjoyable as it is thought-provoking. ... more

Only Love From Now On
by Carmen Villain

I stumbled across Carmen's music purely by chance recently. She won me over instantly. Beautiful, abstract, ambient, textural work. Take a dive into her world, you won't regret it. Dan Webb

Deerhoof vs. Evil
by Deerhoof

About a decade ago I bought Deerhoof's entire back catalogue 20 seconds into hearing "Secret Mobilization" for the first time. I've remained a huge fan ever since. Dan Webb

The Algorithm Smiles Upon You
by Move 78

A modern jazz album for modern times from this Berlin-based outfit. Relaxed instrumentals, with a humorous yet relatable title to boot. What's not to love? Dan Webb
