The Black Lips are gearing up for the release of their brand new album, 200 Million Thousand. In keeping with the numerically-massive album title, the band doesn't want ONE video for the first single, 'Starting Over,' they want 200 Million Thousand. And they want you to make them.
The contest will run until the 200 Million Thousandth video has been submitted. Or until February 15th. Whichever comes first. So get started. Submissions can be uploaded to vimeo.com beginning January 12th, 2009.
Spin & Adidas Originals present Chromeo live at the Key Club in Los Angeles on January 22, 2009. On December 16th a limited number of tickets will go on sale. The pre-sale only last 48 hours so get your tickets here while you can:
Pitchfork's own Pitchfork.tv will screen Electroma for one night and one night only this very weekend. It's just like their usual "One Week Only" feature, except, you know, for a night. The "odyssey" begins tomorrow (Friday) at 8 p.m. EST and concludes precisely 24 hours later, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, which should provide ample time for approximately 19 successive viewings of the 74-minute film.
If you can't make the screening, make sure to pick up a copy of the DVD here.

for a (literally) thunderous set. To put it another way, they made it
rain. Check it out on Pitchfork.tv:
