With the 22nd annual Edgefest approaching this Sunday, we started to get a little cultural vertigo looking at the lineup: Garbage, Cake, Evanescence? The Black Keys are the big draw, sure, but it brought us back into that late ’90s vortex, where the pants were wide and pop music was at its cavity-tingling peak.
As we steadied ourselves on a stack of Now That’s What I Call Music! CDs, we started coming up with suggestions for next year’s fest, based solely on the most ludicrous decade-appropriate pairings we could think of, and our desire to actually see them happen.
