Bring the kids and watch episodes of the Washington DC tv show Pancake Mountain!

Pancake Mountain is a Washington, DC-based cable-access show that allows rockers to try their hand at children's entertainment. Want to see noted DC scenester and Dischord Records founder Ian MacKaye perform an original composition entitled "Vowel Movement?" It's here on volume one. Or how about Ted Leo doing a kick-ass rendition of "Wheels on the Bus?" Check out volume three. Such luminaries as Henry Rollins, George Clinton, and Shirley Manson of Garbage also make appearances in numerous episodes. And if this sounds a little too adult, such characters as Senor Suds and Blueberry Boy are there to provide comic relief, giving kids a chance to laugh – and even learn a bit (a strong anti-consumerist streak runs throughout the series) – in between the bursts of rock and roll.
