Pitchfork Launches Video Game and Music Festival
Sourced From The Bowery Presents

Pitchfork is teaming up with New York City promoters The Bowery Presents to host Forms, a four-day multi-media festival in the city that the site claims will showcase "the creativity, independence, innovation, and interactivity happening in the growing platforms of music, art, and gaming." Naturally, Pitchfork's video games-centric sister site Kill Screen will also be involved in the event.

As of yet, no artists have been announced for the event, but Pitchfork promises that "musicians will work with visual artists, game designers with musicians, game designers with artists."

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
