A new documentary series from Axs TV, “If These Walls Could Rock,” will explore some of the most beloved music venues in the country, ranging from the storied intimacy of the Troubadour in West Hollywood to the scenic splendor of Colorado’s Red Rocks amphitheater, the network announced Tuesday.
The series premieres July 7 at 8:30 p.m. Et/5:30 Pt, with new half-hour episodes scheduled every Wednesday through Aug. 11, each including a veteran performer associated with the club, hall or amphitheater as well as the venues’ staffers and music industry experts.

Axs TV will bring Farm Aid to market this Saturday in the way to which all performers have had to become accustomed: at home. Farm Aid’s four foremost board members — Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews — will join together, separately, to perform live April 11 at 8 p.m./5 Pt for “At Home with Farm Aid,” a special hosted by Nelson and his sons Lukas and Micah.
Besides the cable network itself, the hour-long broadcast can be seen at www.farmaid.org, along with Axs TV’s social media platforms.
The broadcast, like its decades of in-person antecedents, is a benefit for family farmers, with a special emphasis on how the coronavirus crisis is affecting independent growers during the pandemic.
“The coronavirus has disrupted our entire country and is a grave threat to all of us,” said Nelson, who serves as Farm Aid’s president, in a statement.

You have to hand it to the creative minds behind Sh*t Girls Say. After the travesty that was the success and karmic failure of Sh*t My Dad Says, once a popular Twitter account and subsequent William Shatner starring CBS sitcom, the novelty of Twitter-turned-television series seemed to have warn off. Sh*t Girls Say may have started out in a similar fashion, with a Twitter account and 2 million followers, but the property made the smart decision to stick to a four-episode web series, staying away from tempting TV deals. Oh, hold on a second. I’m just hearing… okay… yeah, I spoke too soon. Sh*t Girls Say is being made into a TV show.
I guess the prospect of a fame going beyond Internet notoriety was just too tempting for filmmaker/director Graydon Sheppard and writer/graphic designer Kyle Humphrey. Why have 36 million YouTube hits when you...

The Twitter account that spun-off a web series with Juliette Lewis, a book published by Harlequin, and a full-fledged internet meme with thousands of contributors will be spinning off into another medium. Deadline broke the news the creators of the uber-popular Sh*t Girls Say inked a development deal with NBCUniversal’s Style Media to bring an iteration of their comical, cross-dressed take on stereotypical feminine behavior to television. Toronto-based Kyle Humphrey and Graydon Sheppard created the Sh*t Girls Say Twitter account in April 2011. It’s now up to 1.9 million followers, due in large part to the incredible success of the pair’s Sh*t Girls Say four-episode mini-series. The duo uploaded their first installment in December 2011, which featured Sheppard in a variety of everyday locales wearing women’s clothes and saying things some girls tend to say. Since then, the video has been seen no less than 19.5 million times.

In case you’ve been living under a flat rock: Sh*t Girls Say started out as a Twitter account poking fun at the way two guys — photographer-filmmaker-director Graydon Sheppard and writer/graphic designer Kyle Humphrey — observe women talking to friends, strangers, co-workers, and themselves. All comments come out of the mouth of the one girl — played by Sheppard. Humphrey drew the short straw and plays the boyfriend.
