Mould & Mackaye help online kid's show

Saw this in the new Washington City Paper and thought it was pretty great...

Scott Stuckey, a DC-area guy who works in video and sound editing, decided to create a kid's show called Pancake Mountain. Right now, it's online at http://www.pancakemountain.com (sorry, the URL function isn't cooperating right now) but he's hoping to find a TV outlet soon.

So far, creative contributions include:

A theme song by Brendan Canty (Fugazi) and Kathi Wilcox (Bikini Kill, The Frumpies).

A cover of "I've Been Working on the Railroad" by Vic Chesnutt.

A song about the alphabet, called "Vowel Movement," by Ian Mackaye.

A skit where "Captain Perfect," played by comic Erik Myers, is told by corporate suits that the show cannot be made. The suits are played by Neal Augenstein, a local radio man, and Bob Mould. You can clearly see Bob in the pictures under "the Cast" on the website (middle row, right side).

There's an 11-minute clip of the show on the site, but it's for broadband users (it stalled horribly for me). I hope this thing sees a TV contract soon. Saturday mornings have sucked since Pee Wee was busted...

You will probably be able to see this article on the Washington City Paper soon http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com (under the Arts section) but they still have last week's up tonight...

Thanks for sharing that.

This is pretty awesome! It was weird seeing Neil Augenstein in person.

the name of this thread makes me think of ian mckaye and bob mould putting on a puppet show. but this is pretty awesome too.
