Mash-ups... They're not just for kids any more!

YouTube star and octogenarian sweetheart Sue Teller has posted a "how-to" video for making musical mash-ups. We're not sure what to make of this; has configurable culture gone from bleeding-edge to the granny set without passing Go or collecting $200? Or is Mrs. Teller simply living proof that when change happens, it happens in beautiful and unpredictable ways? Either way, we're delighted to finally hear "Flight of the Bumblebee" with a hip-hop backbeat -- the way it was meant to be heard.

Our only beef with the video: there's a conspicuously open laptop next to her turntables, but she doesn't seem to be using it to generate any sounds...

BTW, there's good reason to believe this is stealth marketing by Pepsico for the Mountain Dew brand. If so, we applaud it all the more.
