This week's list starts with a festival of a very special name: The Klit animation festival. Yes chuckle all you want, but klit actually means tangled together, and the point is to feature short animation films. Animation films are a booming art in the Netherlands, so it's definitely worth checking out: Takes place Saturday the 15th; starts at 2pm and if you stay til the afterparty.. it goes until 2am. Tickets are €10 and for venue info, check out their site.

Meanwhile if it is music you seek on Saturday Night, perhaps classical is your thing. At the Concertgebouw they've got the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra playing Beethoven and Debussy. Tickets for regular people go for €33, BUT, those younger than 27 can get in for €7.50 - what a deal!

Elsewhere on Sunday the 16th, the Hip-Hop Essentials party is taking place at the gorgeous TropenMuseum . It will include an exibition on the history of hip-hop as well as live performances by many old and new school national hip-hop groups. Tickets cost €7.50. Directions on the site.

But maybe you're not a hip-hop person.. you're more into old school hardcore kick-you-in-the-face music. For that you've got legendary Sick of It All at the Melkweg, sunday night at 7:30pm. Tickets are €16 euro plus membership. Moshpit is optional.

Lastly if you're really a unique person, next tuesday the 18th, the North Netherlands orchestra will be playing tunes by Pink Floyd. It's called Echoes of Pink Floyd, it starts at 8:15pm, costs €29.50, and takes place at the spacious Heineken Music Hall.
