Who doesn't love cartoons? We know we do. We particularly love rare and vintage toons. On the other hand, we're not a big fan of doctors and medicine, but we're still pretty jazzed about The Cartoon Medicine Show, a little event going down at the Mütter Museum Thursday and Friday night this week. The museum will be open for special evening hours beginning at 5:30PM, with a reduced entrance fee, and the screenings will begin at 8PM. Featured will be "a rich sampling of rarely screened animated medical cartoons from the 1920s to the 1960s," consisting of 10 to 15 shorts "by animators both obscure and well known, including Walt Disney, Friz Freleng, Zack Schwartz, Walter Lantz, and Shamus Culhane." A couple of medical historians will even be on hand to provide expert commentary, and that's bound to be interesting. This definitely sounds like a fun time! Plus, if you're into that kind of thing, you can stroll the museum before hand and check out all the creepy oddities they have on display.

Holy Collision of Local Novelty Acts, Batman: Puppet Karaoke + Dirty Diamond = well, we don't know what it equals, but having seen both shows separately, we're sure it will be wonderfully weird and frightening. 9PM at The M-Room (15 W. Girard). $5

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.

Crazy indie band Of Montreal (portrait at left) is at the Starlight Ballroom tonight with Philly locals The Lilys (who are out behind their new album, Everything Wrong is Imaginary), and The M's, and you might want to stop by. Of Montreal is in fact not from Montreal at all; the singer, lead guitarist, and creator of the band, Kevin Barnes, is actually from Athens, GA. The name comes from the fact that when Barnes started the band, he was just coming off of a break-up with a woman from Montreal. Despite that sad origin story, Of Montreal's latest album, The Sunlandic Twins, is a ton of pleasant, silly, harmonic fun in the form of 13 regular tracks and four bonus tracks. Barnes produced, arranged, composed, engineered, and mixed this album, as well as playing most of the instruments...so he's certainly the one to blame if you don't like it! Although we can't imagine why you wouldn't. Of Montreal's music is a tasty combo of '80s new wave, '60s pop, and recent indie rock flavors, and it's definitely worth tasting.
