While contemplating why someone would be microwaving a bicycle tire for lunch, because that was definitely what I was smelling, I checked the wiki entry for Handsome Boy Modeling School. I checked out some of the collaborators on the record and was stopped in my tracks on track 14 on White People. Prince Paul and Dan the Automator collaborated with John Oates. This brought me to the John Oates biography with two slight mentions of hitmakers hall & Oates. The "H" is lower case on purpose. From the bio I bounced to a link for John Oates: Live at the Historic Wheeler Opera House. So, at this point, I'm like Phil Collins and in too deep. I look at the bonus features on the DVD and there is a video starring Paris Hilton. WTF?!?! Has the world gone mad? Is there a more convincing way to establish and confirm yourself as being on the B-List than being in a John Oates video? Was Andrew Ridgeley unavailable?
On that note, if Andrew Ridgely and John Oates ever form a band, run. Don't ask questions or look back. Just run. it is either going to be the most powerful thing you have ever seen or the sound of millions of voices suddenly crying out in terror and then suddenly silenced.

Fuck, I thought Hall & Oates were the world's only non-identical conjoined twins until I read about Mr Oates' solo appearance on your Weblog (blog). Thank you for your service in this matter.
