From The Basement, the Nigel Godrich-produced music performance series that’s featured bands like the White Stripes, PJ Harvey, and Radiohead in the past, will become a cable-TV staple in September; IFC is adding the series to its new programming block Automat, which is apparently designed to appeal to the young-male demographic. Well, thank God someone’s finally serving that woefully under-pandered-to group of Americans! No word yet on whether Godrich is shooting new episodes for broadcast on IFC or if the six that are already in the can will just be endlessly rerun until The Minor Accomplishments Of Jackie Woodman comes back. (It is coming back, right?) [The Hollywood Reporter]
