“Our First 100 Days” is an anti-President Donald Trump project. The good folks behind the “30 Days, 30 Songs” anti-Trump campaign during the election have teamed up with Secretly Group for “Our First 100 Days.” They plan to release a new song every day during the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. The latest addition is from Julien Baker, who shares “Good News (Piano Version).” As the title suggests, it’s a new, piano-backed version of her song “Good News.” The original appeared on her Sprained Ankle debut album from 2015. Listen below.

Baker recently released a new 7-inch via her new label Matador and shared both the A-side, “Funeral Pyre,” and the B-side, “Distant Solar System.” Read our 2016 interview with Baker and our 2015 Artist Survey interview with her.

“Our First 100 Days” launched on inauguration day with a new Angel Olsen song, “Fly on Your Wall.” Since then there have been songs by PWR BTTM (“Vacation”), Animal Collective’s Avey Tare (“Visit the Dojo,” a demo from his Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks project), Jason Molina (the previously unreleased “Royko”), Women (“Group Transport Hall (Alternate Version)”), Suuns (“Native Tongue”), Tilman Robinson and Luke Howard (“Requiem for 2016”), Meat Wave (“Dogs At Night”), S. Carey (“Come to Me”), Entrance (“Not Gonna Say Your Name (A Cappella Mix)”), Joan of Arc (“Vampire E.R.”), Peter Silberman of The Antlers (covering The Flaming Lips’ “Feeling Yourself Disintegrate”), Toro Y Moi (“Omaha”), Bill Fay (“Shame”), Helado Negro (“Levantar Las Piernas (2012 Demo)”), Bowerbirds (“Sweet Hereafter”), Califone (“Comedy”), Ryley Walker (“The Great & Undecided (Alt Version)”), Hurray For the Riff Raff (“Everybody Knows”), Jessica Lea Mayfield (“The World Won’t Stop (Demo)”), Tim Heidecker (“Trump Talkin’ Nukes”), Adam Torres (“Dreamers in America”), Cross Record (“Sharpness”), Tara Jane O’Neil (“Ballad of El Goodo”), The Range (“Retune (Redone)”), DRINKS (“I Am a Miserable Pig”), A Place to Bury Strangers (“Everyone’s the Same”), Surfer Blood (“Bacon Frying”), Mind Over Mirrors (“Sky Colorer”), Dntel feat.
