1,000 Days, 1,000 Songs

Last updated

1,000 Days, 1,000 Songs (originally called 30 Days, 30 Songs, then 30 Days, 50 Songs) is a musical project launched on October 10, 2016, by Dave Eggers which was originally supposed to release one song per day from then until November 8, 2016, which is Election Day in the United States. Each of the songs is performed by one of 40 musicians or projects, and the songs all advocate against voting for Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. [1] [2] Eggers worked on the project with Jordan Kurland, the owner of Zeitgeist Artist Management. [3] [4] The two of them previously worked on two similar election-related projects, including the "90 Days, 90 Reasons" campaign in 2012. [5] Eggers originally got the idea for the project when attending a Trump rally in Sacramento, California in June 2016. [6] The first song in the project was "Million Dollar Loan" by Death Cab for Cutie.

"Million Dollar Loan" is a song by American indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie. It was released on October 10, 2016 as the first song in the Dave Eggers-headed project 30 Days, 30 Songs. Like the other songs in the project, the song lyrically takes aim at Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president in the country's 2016 election. The project aimed to release one song every day from October 10 until Election Day, all of which are, according to its website, "written and recorded by musicians for a Trump-free America." It is the band's first new song since the 2015 album Kintsugi.

Multiple songs, albums, bands and performances have referenced Donald Trump or his various brands, including Trump Tower, his TV show, his hotel chain, and his casinos. While recent songs refer to Trump's campaign, election, and tenure as President of the United States, more than 200 songs refer to Trump prior to his campaigns for president. Most earlier references to Trump in lyrics revolve around his status as a business tycoon, but then shifted toward a stance more critical of his politics as he attempted to attain public office. With his victory in the 2016 presidential election, Trump's prominence in hip-hop music has been likened to that of Ronald Reagan's in hardcore punk during the 1980s.
