Music for a not-so-better tomorrow.

There’s really no need to comment on the elections; so many others out there more politically savvy than I, or at least with bigger mouths (or keyboards, as it were), already have. I do have to say though, while not surprised with either the presidential or local Utah elections, I was certainly taken aback by the Republican party extending its majority in both the Senate and House. That’s all that I will say… However, if I were to make a mix-tape today, this is what would be on it:
