#1 of 2 different new 45s for CSS' undeniable "Off The Hook(1)." (Even Sizzle liked it when he was still here, and he only likes metal and house.) This actually sounds like a re-mixed version of the track from the album - I can't put my finger on the difference, but the whole mix just sounds cleaner and the drums more crisp. The previously unreleased B-side, "Poney Money Honey(2)," is a totally new sound for CSS - mellow, slinking guitars and (gasp) soft-spoken vocals from the usually krazy Lovefoxxx. I want more! Comes in a stickered pic sleeve featuring CSS' silent bass assassin, Carolina.
