Action... Adventure... Thrills! And Fun!

The Board of Education is author and biologist Kevin Emerson, composer and quantum physicist Eric Goetz and producer and anthropologist Jon Goff. The BoE is also just a band, a band of starry-eyed dreamers, of yearning wonderers, a band of fools, on a voyage, a mission, a quest, to bring you songs about things. What things? ALL things.

But, you ask, is it educational? Like the wind through distant mountains, young one.

Is it irreverent? Like a monkey eating bok choy in an elevator, indeed.

Is it FUN? Like, yeah.

But is it silly? When necessary. Corny? At times. Dumb?

How dare you. Why, a Very Prestigious Magazine (VPN) said the BoE had an “advanced placement repertoire” (-The New Yorker, is that prestigious enough for you?). That means smart, people. But don't worry, smart in the GOOD way. In the funny way. Also, the music rocks. And it does a lot of other things, flipping through musical styles and influences mostly because Kevin, Eric and Jon are big music dorks, but also because life is short, and if you have a song about, say, the inventor of Kevlar, there's no reason not to make that song a 1960's Brazilian bossa nova. Der. And so forth. 

But, it's kids' music, right? I mean that's what you want to know. Well, yes. It's the way kids' music should be, but it's also written for someone inside you. No, not your split personality. Someone ELSE. Who? Well, it's for your kid-at-heart. Didn't know you still had one of those, did you? Look deep inside, partner, past that steely, stalwart, flint-edged warrior the world always sees, deep down to that big-eyed, smiley little copilot. There. Your kid-at-heart. These songs are for you both. When you're listening to the BoE, you can leave the cares of the world behind and rock out over the finer points of geography, robots, vulcanology, elbows, and IT'S OKAY. It's all okay.

Did we say enough? Then go on, get out of here and check out the TUNES already!
