Kids These Days...

Well, in the myriad of junk that the new generation is surrounded with from birth, there finally appears some counterbalance.

The program Pancake Mountain, a local cable show from Washington, DC manages to put together quality kids television with the best new music at the same time. A talking goat has managed to host Bright Eyes, The Fiery Furnaces, The Kaiser Chiefs, and Arcade Fire on the show.

Funnily enough, it'd be hard to find these bands on adult television. Which is why I hope the rest of the kids appreciated their good luck more than this one:



Visit their website for lots of clips from the show, including one of Arcade Fire playing "Wake Up" surrounded by kids and parents dancing around and playing along on the instruments.

The show was created by a father dedicated to producing quality, non-commerical television for kids.

Meaning You Can Memorize... slowly restoring some of your faith in humanity.

I need some meaning I can memorise,
The kind I have always seems to slip my         mind..."
