"Parliament Funkadelic ft. George Clinton" is... an interesting way to bill him/them haha.
I tend to shy away from some of the biggest festivals because they'll have 3-4 bands playing at the same time and I end up missing half the acts I was interested in. This one doesn't seem too overwhelming though. I'd be psyched for Godspeed and to a lesser extent Code Orange. The Bronx is fun live, I'd try to catch them if you can (although I prefer them live when they perform as Mariachi El Bronx! ) _________________ 51 Washington, D.C. albums!

Ha! That does sound more fun. They might do it! Especially if I know Riot Fest!
I'll have to look into Code Orange. Never even heard of 'em. What songs or record should I start with?!
Speaking only for myself, as a soon-to-be decrepit old geezer I'd obviously have to see Ride, Nothing, Warpaint, the Breeders, Steve Ignorant, Kim Gordon, and The Cure of course. Probably also Flogging Molly, the Black Angels... and I guess Fake Names too, just in case there anybody I know from my previous life in DC shows up. And of course I'd have to go see the Aquadolls, because regardless of what they sound like, they're just my kinda gals.
Finally, I'd probably want to see Drain, Braid, Bearings and Plosivs, if only to get some ideas on what to do the next time my kitchen sink gets clogged up and I can't find a plumber.

"This is album is just GREAT. Great. No other words. I love hearing this album song to song, as it reminds me of a great sound that hasn't been tapped for 25 years. Did I mention it sounds GREAT!! Best Kim has sounded!!" -BEA user Jaymantheman
Why didn't anyone tell me?!?! 😜 > How on earth did I not hear about one of the best Indie Rock bands of the 90s releasing a killer comeback album just a few years back in 2018. Hmmmm.... 🤔 Maybe it's not Dihansse's fault. Maybe I'm just getting old!!!
Anyways, if you're a fan of The Breeders earlier works this is sure to butter your buns!
AND, I have a serious question. Which album do YOU prefer: The Pod or Last Splash?! Or are they both Essential to The '90s Indie Rock Canon?!
Solid set of headliners and artists I’d want to see all the way down the bill. _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.

It's probably more of a "half-serious question," but if it's The '90s Indie Rock Canon, Last Splash is clearly the essential Breeders album. Pod has the better album cover, and at the time I was more excited to hear it because the Pixies were still together and I hadn't also gotten spoiled by the short-lived "shoegaze era," but that said... going by my own personal tune-memory capacity brain test, I can only remember two of the original songs from Pod ("Doe" and "Fortunately Gone"), but eight from Last Splash (counting "Roi" as one). So it just has better songs on it, in my personal shrinky-dink opinion.
As for All Nerve, it's better than the other two post-2000 Breeders albums, which is impressive in itself (given the usual trajectory for 90s bands who are still making records), but while it starts out great it kind of peters out towards the end. Worth a listen, though!
