We’ve all come to love those befuddling, obscure album referencing reviews from the folks at Pitchfork – you know the ones that reference things like 1980s Italian New Wave B-Sides. Well come this April those very same folks will branch out by launching their very own online music channel aptly named Pitchfork.tv – and insult your music knowledge on a whole new level.
The site promises to “bring you closer to the artists you love, through original mini-documentaries, secret rooftop and basement sessions, full concerts, exclusive interviews, and the most carefully curated selection of music videos online” – just don’t let on your a jamband fan, you may be block from their Beta site.
