Pancake Mountain DVD #1 - Episodes 1 & 2

Episodes: 1 & 2

"...an edgy, eclectic mix of music and some education, but mostly fun." -Elaine Quijano, CNN
A Children's show that adult music lovers wouldn't mind watching themselves. With appearances from Vic Chestnutt, Steel Plus, The Evens, Anti-Flag, Thievery Corporation and UnCalled 4, this original DVD is packed with great music and fun for the whole family.

Pancake Mountain, an exciting new Washington DC television show for children of all ages, launched in 2003. The prototype episode (see DVD #1) features an array of national and local talent sure to entertain the child and Washingtonian in all of us.

Pancake Mountain assembles an unlikely cast of characters, from punk legend (and new DC resident) Bob Mould to beloved WTOP radio reporter Neal Augenstein. The opening PM theme song is written by BRENDAN CANTY (Fugazi/Rites of Spring) and KATHY WILCOX (Bikini Kill). Former presidential candidate JOHN ANDERSON handles the first reading segment with the classic 'Sunday Morning'.

But Pancake Mountain's main asset is music, music, and more music! The first week's musical guest is very special indeed: IAN MACKAYE (Minor Threat/Fugazi) who with his new - and as of yet never seen or heard - group THE EVENS. MacKaye not only performs but lip-syncs to an amazingly fun and catchy diddy called "Vowel Movements". And City Paper dared to do a cover story saying this guy has ruined DC music by not being fun enough.

Also in episode one, legendary songwriter VIC CHESNUTT (covered by Madonna, Smashing Pumpkins, REM) performs his favorite kids' song, "I've Been Working on the Railroad". WOW - and Washingtonians thought interesting local TV was dead when Captain 20 packed up his gerbil races and left town. But do not fear, local filmmaker and producer SCOTT STUCKEY and Monkey Boy studio have come up with something bizarre, witty and unique to save the day. Boring corporate programming look out!
