5 Songs To Fuel Your Dissatisfaction

Amid the campaign chaos, the idea of 30 Days, 30 Songs arose to combat Donald Trump's election. After the results on November 8th that many of us were dreading, 30 Days, 30 Songs turned into 1,000 Days, 1,000 Songs. Our First 100 Days is a partner with this project. Websites such as these give us plenty of music to be dissatisfied to, and here are a few of the best.

1. Million Dollar Loan-Death Cab For Cutie

The first song featured on 1,000 Songs, 1,000 Days' playlist, Death Cab For Cutie's video features "Donald Trump" building walls, giving speeches, while being dragged over the "small loan" he was given from his father.


2. Interesting Drug (Morrissey cover)-OK Go

Originally by Morrissey and released in 1989, OK Go released this cover on January 18th, two days before Trump's inauguration.

3. I Give You Power-Arcade Fire ft. Mavis Staples

Shortly following OK Go, Arcade Fire released their newest single featuring Mavis Staples the day before Trump's inaguration with the statement, "It's never been more important that we stick together and take care of each other."

4. This Is Not America-David Bowie

Though this song wasn't released in response to Trump's inauguration (not even close, it was released in 1985), 30 Days, 30 Songs put it on their playlist anyway.

5. Mississippi Goddamn-Nina Simone

Another song written long before the election, yet still applicable; "Mississippi Goddamn" is considered to be one of Nina Simone's most famous political songs.

If you're still looking for more music to inspire your next protest (or are looking for some sick burns against Trump), check out 30 Days, 30 Songs' Spotify playlist.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
