The Ticking Time Bomb Scenario
Matthew: CD in the mail today - Mistress Stephanie & Her Melodic Cat. It is described as "sado-vaudevillian punk," which I suppose is another way of saying it's like the Dresden Dolls. Mistress Stephanie has a flapper bob, and Her Melodic Cat is a man in drag with kitty cat make-up. On the front cover, Mistress Stephanie has gaffer tape over her mouth! Cos she's being silenced! By someone!Sean: Bondage Enthusiast and Queen Peter Criss; that's a better name for them.
Matthew: It's also worth noting is that both of them are clearly some ways into their 30s.
Sean: Well, maybe it's like sex change operations, where you really can't do it until you're old enough to afford it. You can't be a Weimar-era cabaret act with a drag catman until you've got a good 401(k).
Matthew: Or maybe you have to get to a point where it's like "we are running out of time to successfully pull off our Weimar-era cabaret act with a drag catman," and it just becomes an urgent do-or-die endeavor.
Sean: It's a ticking time bomb scenario.

from their myspace:
Sounds Like Kurt Weill pulling hairballs out of Marlene Dietrich's throat with an electric guitar, but even sexier
caught a listen to their song "awfully confusing" - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
