Donald Trump might be a fat-headed, pea-brained moron. An odious, hate-spewing fuckwit. A pus-filled boil on the arse of politics. Still, without his election we wouldn't have had the fruits of Our First 100 Days - most notably Angel Olsen's 'Fly On Your Wall', which kicked the project off and subsequently found its way onto Phases.
And now, at what I and millions of others sincerely hope is the end of his presidency, he's inspired her into action again - this time in the form of a collaboration with Cass McCombs that also features Noam Chomsky. 'Don't (Just) Vote' is an unlikely alliance, to be sure, but perhaps no stranger than, say, the pairing of Steve Davis and Kavus Torabi, or Karen O and Willie Nelson teaming up to cover Queen & David Bowie's 'Under Pressure'. At least Trump can't take the credit for either of those.
