There's something about Washington, D.C. that inspires unique music movements — be it the post-punk DIY scene propagated by Dischord Records, or the funk subgenre Go-Go that still thrives in our nation's capital — or at least in George Pelacanos' novels about the seedy side of the District of Columbia. If you need an introduction to this world , then stay tuned for this video that is in the works for Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown. "Party Roll" should indeed be a party, if only because George Clinton and the notorious former D.C. mayor Marion Barry are both set to make cameos.
