It seems like just yesterday that video killed the radio star, but it didn't take long before The Real World, My Super Sweet 16 and Laguna Beach killed the video. Although this perversion did bring us The State, My So-Called Life and Beavis and Butthead--we never meant to sell our souls! For a music television fix these days, we have little choice but to dust off those old VHS recordings of the original Headbanger's Ball.

Not for long.

Whether you love to hate 'em, or hate to love 'em, the snarky staff of Pitchfork is stepping up on this one. On April 7th, Pitchfork.tv launches. The full-screen music network promises twenty-four hours of indie music videos, full-length films and concerts in their entirety. In addition, the channel will air exclusive interviews, music documentaries and even screen some vintage concert stock. All available on demand--hold the Tila Tequila. It's a twenty-four hour music channel--for real. Well, for now.
