What can I say? I have soft spot for classic R&B. Courtesy of Pitchfork.tv

It's True
Pitchfork.TV is simply fantastic. You really have to check it out. Nothing but music goodness all the time. This is bad for me though, because the last thing I needed was another time sink. But between all the music videos, cool music docs and exclusive performances on the site from bands like Radiohead, I can't stop myself from checking in each day to see what new things have shown up.
Really if you're one of those people who likes to sit around and say "remember when MTV actually played music?" then you have no business not visiting the site immediately!
I'm employed
Well I received great news today. After sticking out the strike and insisting on chasing after my dream of working in the industry, I got hired today. I start Monday. It's the beginning of what will be, hopefully, a long and successful career in the industry.
Sounds too good to be true.
Today's music world is so dominated by major corporations and mainstream blandness that it can be easy to loose sight of the fact there is a lot of good music out there. The only problem is that there is so much to sift through it can be a thoroughly daunting task to find some good stuff. That is why I always appreciated such music websites like Pitchfork. I often disagree with the reviews but at the end of the day its a great starting point to give my never ending search for music a good direction.
So I have to say that I am extremely interested to see how Pitchfork's new experiment turns out. It sounds fantastic. And best of all, it is going to be free.
From Pitchfork:
"In recent years, independent film networks have dedicated themselves to the respectful and intelligent treatment of classic and underground cinema. But independent music has never had a permanent home. So today, we're proud to announce the April 7 beta launch of Pitchfork.tv, the first-ever music video channel dedicated to documenting independent music as it happens. As a visual extension of the music coverage Pitchfork has provided for more than a decade, and a means of updating and advancing the music television format, 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."
