Well, there certainly will be a lot of music in WASHINGTON DC this weekend, all of it thanks to DONALD TRUMP, and most of it in direct opposition to him... You can add CHRISETTE MICHELLE (unless QUESTLOVE intervenes) and TONY ORLANDO to the official inaugural roster... In counter-inaugural programming, SOLANGE and ESPERANZA SPALDING will headline the Peace Ball tonight at the NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE, while COMMON and the NATIONAL take the stage around the same time for the Show Up! concert at the 9:30 CLUB. JANELLE MONAE, MAXWELL and ANGELIQUE KIDJO top the list of performers for Saturday's Women's March on Washington (and the National and SLEATER-KINNEY will join SENS. AL FRANKEN, CORY BOOKER and others at the after-party). The BLACK CAT has TED LEO, WAXAHATCHEE, SADIE DUPUIS and more at its Friday night No Thanks party, and ANTIBALAS, KYP MALONE and NELS CLINE will head a long list of performers at Saturday's Anti-Ball benefiting PLANNED PARENTHOOD... For anyone scoring at home, the official inauguration performers have three GRAMMYS between them. The anti-inauguration performers announced so far own 17, plus an OSCAR... Oh, and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN played a 15-song acoustic set for PRESIDENT OBAMA in the EAST ROOM of the WHITE HOUSE last Thursday... In case you haven't seen it, here's ADAM GOPNIK's essay for the NEW YORKER on "The Music Donald Trump Can't Hear," which opens with one of the best attempts I've seen to explain the unprecedented musical war playing out this weekend and what it says about the 45th US president... WILLIAM ONYEABOR, the mysterious Nigerian musicmaker and businessman who died Monday, released a barrage of effervescent—and forward-looking—electronic records in the 1970s and '80s before giving up musicmaking in favor of GOD. He spent the rest of his life refusing to even talk about it. Records like "ATOMIC BOMB" and "BETTER CHANGE YOUR MIND" remain as danceable, and resonant, as ever, maybe more so in the peculiar climate of 2017. MIKE RUBIN got a rare, if short, interview with the man known as the Chief for this 2013 NEW YORK TIMES piece, and NOISEY's 30-minute documentary "FANTASTIC MAN" is as informative as circumstances allowed, and magical. ERIC WELLES-NYSTRÖM, PAUL DIDDY and YALE EVELEV of LUAKA BOP RECORDS, who needed a few miracles to get Onyeabor's music released in the US, offer a eulogy. RIP.
