One of our readers brought this up in a comment thread of our latest comic, but what he was talking about really deserves more attention than that. Guys, you really need to know about Pancake Mountain.

I know, I know. You’re saying, “Mike. Pancake Mountain is a name that makes no sense. I’m pissed and confused!” Well listen:

Pancake Mountain is like punk-rock Sesame Street, except it’s made with vastly less money and is sort of inappropriate for children at times. It is awesome and wonderful and hilarious and rocking and adorable all at the same time. Here are some examples:

Ian MacKaye and some chick singing about vowels:

Kings of Leon just making all these kids flip out:

(the best part is the kid in the lime going nuts)

Ted Leo is there! Dana LOVES Ted Leo!

(there is a little boy in this video that just stares at Ted the whole time he play, bobbing his foot. That kid is going to kick so much ass someday.)

There is Fat Mike from NOFX too! He is the best!

(The little girl is Mike’s daughter!)

Now, compare this to what Sesame Street has: Lame-ass Feist singing about counting:

(Okay that was pretty awesome and I love it, but fuck you anyway Feist. I’m still pissed at you because I keep finding songs of yours I like and it’s really ruining my “Grrr Misfits!” street cred. That I never had.)

<3 Mike (and thanks again Thomas)
