When are you launching your channel BV

10.0!

JET!

Oh this is gonna be some shit. They got some real professionals working on this thing. Case in point the Black Mountain/Bon Iver show at Glasslands 2 weeks ago. They had 3 nyu looking people filming the show and one dork recording from the board on his laptop. The kid upstairs was falling asleep while filming and one of the guys downstairs on the floor kept getting in Steve's face which was annoying him greatly.
I should expect nothng less from Shitfork though.

I remember back when Beirut played the Brooklyn Masonic Temple they said they were filming for pitchfork and it never showed up on the website so it may have been for this too

is it just me, or has pitchfork really devolved over the past couple of years? The news items are really schmaltzy and fawning.

I do remember when pitchfork was actually edgy--like with the first ryan adams interview in 03 (i think).

Waiting for the Pitchfork Festival annoucement honestly. (Lollapalooza and Virgin as well).

Do you think Intonation is done forever?

i always will have love for pitchfork. they started something that has been taken on by so many people. They put on an amazing festival with amazing bands at such a great cost. If they can do it these other monster festivals can figure it out as well.

There better not be any PJs (Pitchfork Jockeys). I don't want to see some fake hipster introducing clips. I hope it stays pure and true to its purpose. Otherwise it will just turn into MTV.

Hey, Anon 3:06, I don't have any connection with Pitchfork or any of the guys working at the Black Mountain Glasslands show. But I was recording there too that night.

I can't speak for the guys running the cameras, because I didn't have any interaction with them at all. But the guy who was running "from the board onto his laptop" was doing far more than that. He had 8 different microphones set up around the venue, with about half of them on stage. He ran those feeds into the board, and also I believe took feed from the individual band microphones. He ran all of his separate channels through 2 digital workstations, and captured the whole thing with ProTools on this laptop. The guy knew what he was doing.

say what you will about pitchfork (not that we all don't already), but this could be really cool.

i've been meaning to see both that g.g. alin documentary and the pixies reunion documentary-- and now i get to see them for free.

also missed the bon iver/black mountain show-- and sounds like they did a good job taping it.

so lets wait and see.

ok, fine.

7.8

paging Matt Pinfield, Dave Kendall, Jesse Camp and that Lewis douche

I miss Kevin Seal. Pitchwho?

LEWIS LARGENT

let's get RANDY OF THE REDWOODS UP IN THIS BITCH

but will there be video of Beth-Ditto?

yup she will be eating out Tim Harrington

Will it only be a matter of time before they stop airing music and start showing dating games and reality programming? That seems to be the trend with music channels.

RADIOHEAD FILM EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE FOR PITCHFORK.TV
M83 CHIP IN "GRAVEYARD GIRL" VIDEO PREMIERE

It's the final countdown. Monday, April 7 sees the much anticipated launch of Pitchfork.tv, Pitchfork's rebuttal to the age-old complaint, "There's nothing on." Launching with hours of on-demand music content by the artists we love, we should recall two important facts about April 7. The day marks the birth date of Francis Ford Coppola and the end of prohibition. A day destined for the launch of a new way to view music and indie films and worthy of a toast, so grab some bubbly and hook up the speakers.

Earlier this week we gave you a rough idea of what you can expect to find at Pitchfork.tv, and we've got even more goodies up our sleeves. Today, we're overcome with happiness to announce that Radiohead-- yes, Radiohead-- will be joining the new site's Monday lineup with a special performance of In Rainbows [CD2] banger "Bangers & Mash," which the band recorded exclusively for the launch of Pitchfork.tv. Shot on Wednesday (as in two days ago!) in Nigel Godrich's basement studio, this utterly kick-ass performance will serve as the site's first-ever music video.

Monday will also see Pitchfork.tv hosting the world premiere of M83's new "Graveyard Girl" music video-- the first from their forthcoming Saturdays = Youth LP.

When you're done with the pretty, mosey over to one of the sweatiest, grimiest, hellbent-for-destruction shows we've seen in a while with Jay Reatard on "Pitchfork Live," as he rips through his whole set in Cake Shop's NYC basement at breakneck speed. For more basement action, Juan Pieczanski cordially invited Liars to come play some tunes (including the third ever live performance of "The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack") for our series "Juan's Basement," and have a chat in his back yard.

For more good time story telling, we trekked to Philly to film "Daytripping" and some noise making, bike riding and firework popping with the men of Man Man. And for an even deeper look into the world behind the music, we present the first full-length film in our "One Week Only" series, loudQUIETloud, the behind-the-scenes documentary of the Pixies 2004 reunion tour. Go grab a snack, pop the player over to fullscreen mode, and get ready for some seriously smooth entertainment.

On the flip side of "One Week Only," Monday also sees the launch of the Pitchfork.tv music video library. It's eventually where that M83 video will end up, along with an archive of the videos we love from the likes of Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Sleater-Kinney, Panda Bear, Battles, Dinosaur Jr., Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Arcade Fire, !!!, Madvillain, Spoon, Beta Band, Wolf Parade, Air, Mudhoney, Band of Horses, Prefuse 73... you get the idea.
