Prepare to become addicted. Ryan Schreiber, Founder and President of Pitchfork Media, has created Pitchfork.TV one of the most influential online music publications around. With a primary focus on independent indie rock music, Pitchfork’s artist bios, album reviews, and concert guides have contributed to the breakthrough of many mainstream artists including Arcade Fire, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Wolfe Parade. Keeping consistent with its “one-step ahead of the game” character, Pitchfork has once again leapt ahead with its recent partnership with Delve Networks. Delve’s Online Video Management System made it possible for Pitchfork to launch their engaging site.
As music has continued to evolve into digitalization—both as an auditory “mixing” tool and expansion into the realm of visual horizons with music videos—Pitchfork has added HD quality music videos, artist interviews, live performances, along with other viewing pleasures ready to be enjoyed.
With organized channels and playlists, Pitchfork TV is able to regularly update its content, constantly providing viewers with content to satiate whatever their appetite seeks. Channels such as Faces in the Crowd, Interviews, and a personal favorite, Daytripping, we can delve into a day in the life of up-and-coming artists and sneak a glimpse of Girl Talk’s Chris Corner, parading around Connie Island, or catch an interview with influential artists including Paul McCartney, Cut Copy and U2, to name a few.
Not only can we experience awesome videos, but with Pitchfork’s use of Delve Networks’ extensive API, adding features such as thumbnail gallery, featured videos, and lists of “Recently Viewed” and “Top Viewed” Videos, we can check out what our peers’ are digging as well.
So, if you’re looking for a quick study break, mid-day lunch pick-me-up tune, or an interesting perspective on new age music, Pitchfork TV and Delve Networks’ are just what you need. To start you off here’s a video from Depeche Mode one of my favorite bands of my youth. Check out their site -I promise you won’t be disappointed!
