										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Mono Men &#8220;Skin &amp; Tonic&#8221; 1994. Estrus Records (Mono Men guitarist/vocalist Dave Crider founded Estrus). Butt-shaking, sexy garage punk with a more than a hint of grunge (they&#8217;re from Washington State, recording in the late 80&#8217;s/early 90&#8217;s so that sound is basically inevitable). Crashing drums, hard-rocking fuzzy and distorted guitar licks and metal-tinged solos, growling and sneering vocals but so much more fun than the sometimes-dreary grunge vibe. My top tracks include the slinky, beaty opener &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xojg2fKusKw">Mystery Girl</a>&#8221; plus the almost-as-sexy &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed3FGEr2wD0">Slammer</a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvYb3YmQ54Y">Skin &amp; Bones</a>,&#8221; as well as the hot-rod racing rocker &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogvCmcHy_Yo">Waste O&#8217;Time</a>&#8221; and psychobilly&#8217;d &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr-H0i-evCo">Monster</a>.&#8221; I&#8217;m less fond of the songs that go more straight-up grunge like &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfWOdGjnJ5I">Afterglow</a>&#8221; but it&#8217;s still all really good.</p>
<p>The liner notes, written by Betsy Burger, are hilariously over-the-top: &#8220;&#8230;an album so shocking, so revealing, that the mere mention of its song titles has institutionalized several prudish critics; an album so sensually raw in mood and content that it has been banned in 27 countries [ed. note &#8211; not true]; an album so lurid and suggestive that it has turned mild-mannered teenaged virgins into carnivorous sex kittens! This album, the product of creativity on a steady diet of burlesque and tiparillos [ed. note &#8211; maybe?], was years in the making [ed. note &#8211; not that many years &#8211; The Mono Men&#8217;s release before <em>Skin &amp;</em> Tonic, <em>Wrecker</em>, came out in &#8217;92].&#8221;</p>
