Hey hipster parents: If the recent glut of children's comps have taught you anything, it's that it is never too early to get your kids some indie cred. Here, Andrew makes an appearance as the magical Dr. Stringz on the Noggin Channel's Jack's Big Music Show, whipping violins and mandolins out of those deep, Bird pockets of his. String-da-da-ling-ding-ding string ding. (via P4K)

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

This past Friday Jon Stewart swung by Jack's clubhouse, as well as a performance from Steve Burns (formerly of Blues Clues) backed by Stephen Drozd of the Flaming Lips.
Last week also had an appearance by The Trachtenberg Family Slide Show Players. You could say Jack's is taking a page out of Pancake Mountain's playbook.
