i made you a present

so pitchfork has gone and created its own video site, pitchfork tv, and man o man, is it sooo gewd. they have a great selection of videos up so far, it's got a really nice sliding horizontal interface, and excellent quality video. best of all, one of the videos they've already selected to feature is my favorite Menomena song, 'wet and rusting,' and holy shit does it have the sweetest fucking video ever.

most of the time, music videos are repetitive and easily switch-off-able, but i didn't even want to blink and miss one moment of this one -- it makes you want to be best friends with them. i saw menomena in a sweaty little venue off Indian School Road in Phoenix exactly one year ago, and they're a fantastic & engaging live act, and they sound really great live, which ain't par for the course with many indie rock bands.

check out their freggin rad ass website. i'm pretty much in love with all 3 of them. oh, and best? their tour blog gives links to 1) their website 2) their myspace page, and 3) the wikipedia definition for 'heebie jeebies.' ... lervvvvvvvv!!

other videos worth checking out on pitchfork: creeeeeeeeepy awesomeness in Squarepusher's 'come on my selector,' also creepy 'itsu' by Plaid, 'sweaty' by Muscles and obvs any of the live Kraftwerk videos.
