About

Like an Aquanet kick to the balls! The Goodboix™ are back in the house, ready to try and make sense of chamber pop virtuoso Tori Amos's humble and ultra-80s debut, Y Kant Tori Read (also the name of her band). Super glossy production? Check. Overwrought Pat Benatar/Kate Bush affectations? Check.  Funky slap bass? Check. An overly reverbed sax solo?? Che-fucking-eck. Phil Fleming (Dweezil Show, On The Town With Mikey Dee, Ease Into The Noise) joins us and graciously offers several nuggets of pop culture wisdom, while Patrick and Lee find themselves sort of agreeing with Allmusic.com's generous 3 out of 5 star rating. THIS WEEK'S NEW ENGLAND MUSIC SPOTLIGHT: Jess Jacob's - "Who Can We Trust?" written, performed, engineered, and mixed by Jess Jacobs ©2017
