Guys! Found this on the site:
Around The World With Shirley Manson
Just when everyone was saying Pancake Mountain couldn't get cooler, especially after last week’s preview of the new Reggie Watts segment I'm still bringing my A-game to the table. This week I'm previewing a new segment that will hopefully become a permanent addition called, "Around the World with Shirley Manson" not trying to be cryptic here. The name pretty much says it all.
This week Shirley travels to Germany where she'll look at music from Yodeling to KrautRock. Adding to the hilarity are two talking dogs named Sport and Veela. And please, save the emails asking 'how do I think this stuff up.” I just do.
The new website gets better and better by the day (shout out to Tracy Lee and Guilliaume Bernardeau) but, YES, some of your favorite clips have been taken down. Not forever, but we do like to rotate the music.
Pancake Mountain is a labor of love made up of volunteers (albeit some pretty kick-ass volunteers), but one of the benefits of this is we get to do it how we want it. It’s like being the late night DJ at a small college radio station. You don't do it to break into the big times. You do it because you love it. And let’s face it, we all take joy in sharing things we appreciate with others. So please no more emails about when will Kings Of Leon or Katy Perry be back up. Everything will continue to rotate.
Oh and just in case you started thinking "jeez, how could this be any cooler,” I think I forgot to mention that the "Around The World" theme song was written by Fugazi's Brendan Canty. So buckle up sucka, cuz Rufus is ready for take-off.
Your pal, Rufus R. Leaking

If anyone knows how to get a hold of the DVD for the 2005 season Garbage are on that (dont know if it's a segment like above or if it's a performance). The guy who is behind the show is called Scott Stuckey, who filmed Shirley for the Vic Chesnutt tribute documentary. vimeo.com/18139699 (Shirley is in a few parts of this clip) Also take a read at this: Pancake Mountain is a children's television show based in Washington, D.C. Created by filmmaker Scott Stuckey (of the famous Stuckey's family), it is notable for featuring many indie rock bands, such as Tegan and Sara, Bright Eyes, Deerhoof, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Shonen Knife, Weird War, The Fiery Furnaces, Thievery Corporation, Arcade Fire, Built to Spill, The White Stripes, Jenny Lewis and Metric. The show is hosted by a goat puppet named Rufus Leaking, the superhero Captain Perfect and his slightly more sensible foil Garnett who serve as interviewers and dance-party impresarios. Interviews have included George Clinton, Juliette Lewis, and Chuck Leavell among others.
The majority of the show is filmed in Washington DC and Arlington, Virginia, but the crew has been known to be fond of road trips and appear at such music festivals as SXSW, Bonaroo, Lollapalooza and the Virgin Fest.
As of 2009 Pancake Mountain has completed twelve episodes and can be seen on Public-access television cable TV in New York City, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Colorado and Washington State.
A quest for financial backing to bring the show to a wider audience (as well as pay their beloved and hardworking staff who have previously all donated their time and efforts because of their love for the show) had the core of the crew relocate to Los Angeles in 2010. A pilot episode is in the works. George Clooney may or may not be involved, but rumors of Shirley Manson and Billy Bob Thorton making guest appearances have been making the Hollywood gossip columns.

She is legit the most stunning person ever omg, i'm fucked if she is for real 45 in three weeks. :') I just love that she's giggling all the way through. The site mentioned it might become a permanent addition and I HOPE SO not only because well that would be awesome but she seems to be genuinely having a laugh doing it, haha. Also Veela reaches new levels of cuteness in that, awh!! <3

Rufus replied to one of my tweets last night lol:
@p13xforever: might be more adventures around the world with Shirley Manson and @rufusrleaking
@rufusrleaking: @p13xforever might?? Might isn't in my vocabulary! But then again, there are a lot of words not on my vocabulary.
