NOPE.
I AM OUT OF MONEY FOR ROCK I SPENT IT ALL ON A CAMERA AND VINTAGE PIANIST BOOKING ADVERTISEMENTS
But seriously, even though I missed some good stuff from the last three months, 2006 is going to end on a major whimper. It started out fairly great, but the close was to be everything: namely, Interpol and Arcade Fire. Nothing is going to make up for their absence. The God of Rock and Roll saw this year's too-bright glory, pulled up to its house in his hella-viscious '73 Plymouth Duster, and broke its kneecaps with a car-jack, because there wasn't a tire-iron in the trunk for no apparent reason.
