Brit-hop? Bass wank? Frankenfiddle? Whatevah...just go listen! ;-)

Day in a life, life in a day
too poor to get out of my own way
stuck in this box I call my skull
I text the guy to see what to sell
Coke, dope, and weed
that's what I need
to get me back to where I been
Help me forget reality
because this is one big con
Is this all it's gonna be?
Is there nothing left to see?
Is there no-one left to be?
And then you die, man what a con

Locked in a billet of racists with faces of hatred. Never given space to exist in these places. Everybody looking for the easy way out. Well I can tell you you can scream and you can shout but nobody ever yet got out of here living. Give in to the pressure drop of one day given. Never was told that it would get this bad and I never even knew of all the choice we never had.

Day in a life, life in a day
too poor to get out of my own way
stuck in this box I call my skull
I text the guy to see what to sell
Coke, dope, and weed
that's what I need
to get me back to where I been
Help me forget reality
because this is one big con

 

We've been stitched up, we've been led on
Then I woke up, it's one big con
We've been stitched up, we've been led on
Man, this is one big con
Is this all it's gonna be?
Is there nothing left to see?
Is there no-one left to be?
Man, this is one big con

With a beer and a bong, worship what's on the telly or streaming pod-cast. Curry and chips flow past your numb lips as the pictures go grinding along. A day in the life is a life in a day, too poor to be living too well. You'll call or you'll text for what you need next, safe in your box where you’ll stay. One day they will come to carry you on to heaven, or hell's brimstone: to hang with the host, or slowly spit-roast, or find it was just a big con.

For those of you new to Kicksville, here's how this whole "Season" thing works:

Think of it like a TV series. You can watch the episodes each week for free, and at the end of the season, you can buy a DVD with all the shows plus some bonus shite.

 

With our "Season" releases, you can download a new song each week for free (yes - free!), and at the end of the season, you can buy a DVD/CD with all the music plus videos, liner notes, each single's artwork, and so on.

Pretty simple, right? Right. So, catch up on any Seasons you've missed (the links are over there on the left), and stay tuned for more....

So, yeah...you've got until May 17 to cast your vote in the Madison Area Music Awards.... We've been nominated in a number of categories: Electronic Performer, World Album (Season 4), Electronic Song (Happy Charlie), and Blues Song (Going Where I've Been).
 
If you're not a member, it's only $5 to join, and the money goes to fund school music programs. And no, you don't have to live in Madison....

So, get thee to The MAMAs website and vote - the kids win, no matter who gets an award....
