Making Light:  Open thread 140 ::: May 14, 2010, 04:40 PM

On Hall & Oates video in Particles, there's interesting info in an
interview Oates did last year at losanjealous.com.  It seems H&O
didn't really want to do the lipsync video (for a teenage TV dance
show), so they camped it up.  Oates says,

  They actually didn\342EUR(TM)t air it; they wouldn\342EUR(TM)t air
  it.  But we had it this whole time, and eventually I leaked it out
  to the internet, \342EUR(TM)cause I just thought the world should
  see it.

It made my day.  I especially like the disappearing, reappearing
hookah on the table.  At first I thought the device at 2:03 was
another pipe, but apparently it's a musical instrument.
