Pitchfork

It's the final countdown. On Monday, Pitchfork's music video site, Pitchfork.tv, makes its debut. Earlier this week we revealed (with photos!) that our initial launch schedule would feature exclusive performances from Liars, Jay Reatard, A Place to Bury Strangers, and the Thermals, plus the Pixies documentary loudQUIETloud, a trip to Philly with Man Man, an interview with Swedish pop star Robyn, a tour of Brooklyn's Death by Audio venue, and music videos galore.

Well, today, we're overcome with happiness to announce that Radiohead-- yes, Radiohead-- will be joining the new site's Monday lineup with a special performance of In Rainbows CD2 banger "Bangers & Mash", which the band recorded exclusively for the launch of Pitchfork.tv. Shot on Wednesday (as in two days ago!) in Nigel Godrich's basement studio, this utterly kick-ass performance will serve as the site's first-ever music video. Here's a glimpse:

And, as if we're not psyched enough already, Monday will also see Pitchfork.tv hosting the world premiere of M83's "Graveyard Girl" music video-- the first from their forthcoming Saturdays = Youth LP (which, as previously reported, is due April 15 in North America, April 14 in Europe on Mute). Look:

Finally, stay tuned to Forkcast today, because right around 6 p.m. CST, we'll post an extra something special we cooked up (starring "SNL"'s Fred Armisen and Les Savy Fav front/wildman Tim Harrington) to give you an advance taste of Pitchfork.tv's embeddable player. OMG!

Happy viewing. We can't wait 'til Monday.
