Pitchfork.tv, “the first-ever music video channel dedicated to documenting independent music as it happens… the online channel will 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,” launches today.

Radiohead – Bangers & Mash (BoA Pavilion, Boston, MA 6-5-2006)
Meanwhile, in New York, Stereogum’s Scott Lapatine is sitting in his lair plotting an inevitable response to P4K’s new media launch. The project is called Videogum.com, little is known about this new venture, except that it could be an independent, more Pitckfork.tv-like version of their YouTube identity of the same name.
Taking a look through their YouTube Videogum page, it doesn’t look anywhere as near as impressive as Pitchfork.tv, with some videos wearing less than 500 views. Only time can tell where ‘Gum go with this under-wraps-project. Until then, be the first to find out about Videogum by disclosing your email address here.

I’m a fan of p4ktv already.
how do they get people to do this stuff for them? like did they PAY radiohead?
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.
But i love the whole concept. Stereogum has nothing on pitchfork
What came first? the Video or the Blogger?
So true, where the fuck is Pitchfork’s roots nowadays? In their pockets..
Sucks to see Stereogum going that way too.
And the Pitchfork Dynasty grows once more…
I think its fantastic! Why should they limit their potential when they can be revolutionary?
Way to go Pitchfork!
