There are a ton of shows we want to catch this week, most of them fall on Tuesday night - so we'll be consulting the magic 8 ball and various street psychics on what show to go to. Let's get to it, shall we?

We hope you had a good time at Movable Hype 6.0 last night, which also served as a third birthday party for Gothamist (we really turn three next week, but details!). Thank you (and "Oh, hello!") to hosts Nick Kroll and John Mulaney, and thank you to the great lineup of bands, Burnside Project, Metal Hearts, and Slowlands. And big thank yous to Amelia and Loreal for making us wonderful birthday cakes. We enjoyed a chocolate skyline from Loreal's chocolate (with some coffee!) cake and Amelia's "Jerry Orbach Goes Undercover as a Panda" cake was almost not eaten because we wanted to preserve it.

Tonight is the night, come celebrate Gothamist's 3rd Birthday at our Movable Hype 6.0 show. Important details are:

Now that you're finished pretending you care about football, it's time for the music version of Monday-morning quarterbacking: What are you going to do with your week? To the videotape....

We're excited to announce the next show in the Movable Hype series, which also happens to be our 3rd Birthday Party. So buy a ticket and bring us presents, here are the details:

Much to do this weekend. Much to do.

The Thrills have a great new album, Let's Bottle Bohemia (I hear a bit more pop and less California country), and are stopping by Irving Plaza tonight. The much-buzzed-about and Mercury Prize-nominated band The Zutons are opening the show. If your wallet is a little light these days, don't fret. The Thrills are playing at Tower Records at 4th and Broadway tonight at 6pm.

Before digging into this week's shows, and since more than a few of you might care, Gothamist should point out that Franz Ferdinand tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon. The show is on September 9th at the Roseland Ballroom, which is universally regarded to be one of the worst music venues on the planet. But if anybody could make a trip to that craphole worthwhile, it's Franz Ferdinand. Yes, believe the hype. Those guys put on a great show. Don't dawdle. Their last few NYC shows sold out.
