Local rock fans might notice a dearth of rocktastic options in this week's Critics' Picks, but don't you worry--consider this a week of quiet reflection and moderation before next weekend's overwhelming music and booze smorgasbord (the best kind!). With an evening of film and tunes centered around the locally-made Make-Out With Violence launching the festival Wednesday night at The Belcourt, Tuesday is your last chance to replenish your fluids, get in some quality time with your cat (Doug will miss me so!), catch up on back episodes of Mad Men and stock up on the sleep that is sure to be in short supply over the weekend as you buzz around the city in an attempt to catch the cream of a crop featuring over 200 bands. And don't forget to pick up some Advil--you'll need it.
