Nigel Godrich is a pretty good producer. So good, you might have caught yourself wondering what he'd be like as a TV show host.

Mr. Godrich, who despises what the MTV format has developed into, will be launching his own music television show entitled, "From the Basement" in hopes of exploring what he believes music's evolving medium will be, something more visual. Nigel spoke with RollingStone.com:

The show will be available as a video podcast in the coming weeks. The first episode has already been completed with contributions from Thom Yorke, the White Stripes and Four Tet. The show will display the artists playing their material live with no studio audience, but with some unspecified visual accompaniment. Maybe Nigel will dance or something. The second show is already in preproduction with a line up that includes Beck and Jaimie Lidell. I imagine Nigel has a pretty good rolodex for a show like this.

While it's hard to imagine this being a groundbreaking affair, Godrich promises it will bear no resemblance to the music television blueprint that MTV has now fashioned.

Here's Nigel!
