Oh Balloon Boy- how you captured the hearts of 24 hour news channels everywhere. Sure it was a hoax, but who cares. I’d like to imagine BB as he never was, floating carefree above the Colorado country side. And that’s where this week’s A&V Mixtape came from; think of it as an ode to the Great Colorado Ballon Hoax of Ought Nine. The first track provides a nice retrospective introduction to the whole shebang. Like, weirdly appropriate. Same goes for the closing track…I like to think this will be Richard Heene’s defense at the trial. Enjoy.
