Like Yglesias, I thought this mash-up of “99 Problems” and “99 Red Balloons” played at the Black Cat last night was pretty cool. Except, not having given it that much thought, I’d just sort of assumed the DJ was mixing it on the fly, which seemed really impressive. I suppose it should’ve occured to me that this wasn’t very likely—it’s much too tight—but I was a little disappointed to realize it was prefabricated.

I’ve just noticed, incidentally, that I show up in the first pic over on the Bluestate website dancing with Jen from Nonsense Verse, and can only count it as a stroke of incredible luck that, given my spastic ex-hippie dance style, I didn’t get caught in some truly ludicrous position.
