016 - Prince - Come (1994) (with Todd Bowes)

Pop innovator and legend Prince has a long and storied history of not playing nice with his record label. Especially Warner Brothers, who sought to contain and sanitize the famously raunchy singer/songwriter, while preventing him engaging in more complex, far-reaching projects. This frustration and contentiousness came to a head in the 1990s, when in an effort to escape from his contract, Prince began releasing new material under the banner of an unpronounceable "Love Symbol", while releasing back catalog archives under his old moniker to fill his enforced quota.
In what might be our stickiest episode yet, the goodboix Lee & Patrick take a look at the colorfully named Come, Prince's critically messy 1994 record, and his last album of new material released under the name of Prince until the 00's. Along for the ride is Todd Bowes, the frontman of industrial rock band Downcity Armory, and the host of fellow music podcast My Unfortunate Brain Unfortunately. Join them for lively discussions of sexy music, The Simpsons, ASMR, and to see just how many times Patrick chortles at the album title.
