Just an observation,
I was listening to "Hissing" last night on the headphones (I hadn't listened
to it in awhile) and it recoccurred to me as to how "dated" the playing
sounded..........I remember hearing the cd for the first time after listening
to C&S a thousand times and thinking, "C&S doesn't sound half this
dated"........The dating actually works to "Hissing's" benefit, it adds that
70's "Love Boat", "Charlie's Angels'" --esque Domestic familiarity, which
reminds listeners of those lazy days of their childhood/teenage/adult
years..........Especially "Edith And the Kingpin" which magically transports
you to a little disco on the bad side of town, circa mid-70's.........
Maybe I'm alone, BUT, everytime I hear "Edith and the Kingpin", I think of
those Pam Grier blaxploitation films of the 70's......"Foxy Brown", "Coffy",
"Friday Foster", "Sheeba, Baby".............I'm telling you............Those
films have the same plot lines...........Lots of drugs, pimps, hookers, sex,
violence, AND they all take place during the same time period........Just an
observation.
