Pitchfork.tv: July 2: Clipse / CSS / The Go! Team / The Besnard Lakes
With the 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival just over two weeks away, Pitchfork.tv today served up another one of last year's highlights: Clipse and their Re-Up Gang associates Ab-Liva and Sandman steamrolling through Hell Hath No Fury standout "Ride Around Shining" before 17,000+ fist-pumping festivalgoers. Look closely and you'll see Thurston Moore soaking it all in upstage.
We also added a trio of high-energy videos, beginning with this Forkcast-featured clip for CSS' new single "Rat Is Dead (Rage)", a delirious glam-up marked by relentless camera movement and attitude in spades.
Next up, a classic from a couple years back from the Go! Team, matching their gleeful cut-ups with some of the snazziest arts and crafts concoctions this side of kindergarten.
And finally, the Besnard Lakes' Dark Horse comes to life in this apocalyptic animated offering from director Kara Blake.
