On Thursday, January 25, the Kelly Writers House will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Jack Kerouac's with a marathon reading of the full text of the book.

It's been a week or so now since the Philadelphia Film Festival ended, and maybe now you're looking for another festival to go to. Or maybe you're tired of hearing how great recent, distant music fests like SXSW were. Well, fear not, bored fellow city-goer! The third Thrilladelphia Music Festival is here! It starts tonight and goes through next Saturday with indie-rock shows featuring over 60 bands at most of the regular local venues, including The M-Room, The Khyber, the North Star Bar, and the First Unitarian Church, among others. You may not have heard of a lot of the bands playing, but they're local and they're playing for cheap, so you should support them. Still not sure whether you'll like it? Well, you can check out songs by some of the bands by downloading free MP3s at the bottom of this page. That link is to WXPN's website; the local radio station is supporting the festival with plenty of air-time and a live broadcast from the final event. Also on that XPN page is a handy PDF with a schedule for the whole festival. Well, almost the whole festival; some of the performers and locations are a secret, only to be announced at select events. For the location and performers of tonight's secret show, you'll need to e-mail rsvp AT figureheadproductions DOT com. Space is limited and it's first-come-first-served, so hop to it.

We at Phillyist like editors. In fact, some of us are editors. So we're pretty excited about the Editors show this Saturday night at the Troc. The Editors are the big news out of the UK these days. They already toured with Franz Ferdinand last year, getting people all across the UK and Europe worked up about the cool New Wave sound on their chart-climbing debut album, The Back Room, so now they've decided to come to the US and get us all worked up here.
