Pitchfork.tv beta launched the other day

They're trying to create their own web-based TV station that actually features music and interviews with artists instead of shows about a skinny white skateboarder and his comically obese bodyguard

The layout kind of sucks and there's no way to randomize the music videos just yet, but I like the way they're going with content. I also don't like how fullscreen mode doesn't list an album/artist/show name when it changes video, but it is beta and hopefully they'll make some changes.

There's original shows, live content, and music videos. Focus is, as you'd expect, on independent stuff.

    This is pretty cool stuff.

    but i must admit, I am obsessed with many shows mtv airs (super sweet 16, true life, human giant, jackass, made, ANTM reruns, etc etc). I am part of the problem.

    What does that have to do with it? It's not like you're paying for it now.

    Most of it is already on youtube

    the advantage here is that it's in a centralized place which plays featured and exclusive content on a daily basis and you don't have to go searching for it

    It's like a tv channel more than a big repository of potentially shitty videos

    Oh, before I forget, Kanye did NOT rip off Justice, or vice versa, both videos are directed by Jonas & François and So Me, which is a member of the Ed Banger crew.

    yeah, but rob's an idiot though, he's one of these crystal/energy healer faith people.

    Who would have thought that a guy who rides skateboards, swears like a sailor, and has a big black bodyguard could let someone rip him off like that. Fuckin' DUMB

    I wish they didn't take MuchMusic away from me

    I haven't seen a music video in years!

    The lead singer from CSS is cute. Considering they're Brasileiros, I'm guessing she's from Sao Palo, because they have the biggest Japanese population and she looks a little asian.

    Also, Battles FTW. There's something about that Jazz that I can't get enough of.
