The inauguration soundtrack

You'll hear a lot during the coverage of which artists are playing as a part of the official inauguration festivities. But I couldn't help but salivate over how many great shows there are bound to be on the stages of Washington, DC starting Sunday.

The 9:30 Club, one of DC's prime live music spots, has Moby DJ-ing an inauguration opening show Sunday night. Monday the Beastie Boys and Sheryl Crow are strange-bedfellows headliners. And Michael Franti and Talin Kweli anchor the inauguration nigth celebration. Now that's a show to catch.

Over at Eighteenth Street Lounge, home to Thievery Corporation and the transglobal underground sound, Nickodemus, one of my favorite DJs and Turntables on the Hudson host, leads a raft of DJs in the celebration.

Man, I want to be in DC...
