Cover art for Don't Let the Record Label Take You Out to Lunch lyrics by Jeffrey Lewis

It's a comment on the music industry. More specifically, record labels. I think it's a short list of the things Jeff's learned over the past few years that he thinks would be handy for people (not just new musicians) to remember.

It's also about not sacrificing your artistic integrity to make money. Too many people in the music industry and the media do that already.

There's one caveat though, like Jeff says: you need them more than they need you.
