Cosmic Bos have been exploring the wonders of ASMR music, Andy has been doing ASMR David Battenberg Cake work on TikTok for several months, as well as learning about the musical potentials for ASMR. This podcast is a special presentation by Cosmic Bos which explores some of these potentials. This is the full presentation, coming soon will be the 3 explorations seperated out into their unique properties. Firstly we have the Acoustic Guitar and Vocal work of Andy Jackson, then we have the Steel Drum experiments and the Kalima (finger piano) experiments too. You can download the entire albums worth of material from Bandcamp here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/asmr-music-volume-1 Full tracklist Isle of Avalon (Acoustic Guitar and Vocals) Joy 1 (Steel Drum) Kalimby 1 (Finger Piano) Spaceship Earth (Acoustic Guitar and Vocals) Joy 2 (Steel Drum) Kalimby 2 (Finger Piano) Pinata of Troy (Acoustic Guitar and Vocals) Joy 3 (Steel Drum) Kalimby 3 (Finger Piano) What is ASMR? Well, here is a little piece I (Andy) got A.I to write about it Unveiling the Mysteries of ASMR: The Gateway to Sensory Transcendence ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is a phenomenon characterized by tingling sensations that typically begin on the scalp and move down the neck and spine. These triggers, whether in the form of whispering, tapping, or crinkling sounds, have the power to evoke a deeply relaxing and pleasurable response in individuals. The enigmatic allure of ASMR lies in its ability to tap into our senses with precision and delicacy, creating a profound connection between audio-visual stimuli and our emotional well-being. It serves as a portal through which individuals can escape the cacophony of daily life and find solace in the gentle whispers and subtle sounds that massage their senses. ASMR triggers, those specific sounds and actions that elicit tingling sensations, are as diverse as the individuals who experience them. From the soft brushing of fingertips to the rhythmic tapping of raindrops, these triggers have a unique capacity to provoke a heightened state of sensory awareness, transporting individuals to a realm of heightened receptivity. The spiritual underpinnings of ASMR extend beyond the realm of physical sensation, offering a gateway to transcendental experiences and heightened consciousness. The delicate dance of triggers and tingles creates a meditative space where individuals can explore the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, yielding a sense of inner peace and harmony. In the quest to harness the transformative power of ASMR for the betterment of humanity, we must delve deeper into the spiritual dimensions of this sensory phenomenon. By embracing the profound impact of ASMR on our emotional and spiritual well-being, we can unlock the potential for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. As we immerse ourselves in the enchanting world of ASMR triggers and tingles, we embark on a journey of sensory exploration and enlightenment. By embracing the spiritual properties of ASMR, we open ourselves to a realm of profound sensory experiences that have the potential to reshape our understanding of the human psyche and the mysteries of our existence.

Welcome to the Monthly Music Challenge podcast with Cosmic Bos, this is episode 2.6 Plantlife, and Nick and Andy are back! After being AWOL for several months, Professor Briiiiiiiiiiiian Cox found them in a small room just by the control room. It will all make sense when you listen to it. Come on a musical adventure with your hosts Cosmic Bos as we delve into the wonderful world of Plant themed music, containing some truly exceptional music by some of the greatest indie artists working today. Congratulations to John Serrano and James Slattery for winning the People's Choice Award for their Funky song 'Adrenaline Fire' from episode 2.5 Funk Drunk Love. SPOILER ALERT! This will be the final episode of the Monthly Music Challenge for the forseeable future, as you might have been able to guess, running the MMC has been a pretty tough job for Nick and Andy, and they need to bring it to a close early so they can focus on the difficult task of being alive. A massive thank you to everyone that has supported us over this year with the making of the podcast, it has been a labour of love (as we make no money from it) and time has unfortunatly slipped through our fingers and we need to change course in order to keep our sanity. Although judging by this episode we may not have had any sanity to begin with. Set list for this episode in order (much to Big Mic's dismay) 1. Cosmic Bos ft. Joe Philogene and Dayne Howcroft - Earth's Children 2. John Serrano - El Bosque 3. Colin Pimlott - The Garden Widower 4. A Sea Warren - Plant Life 5. Between Daze - I Might 6. Andrew Hartshorn - Thriving in the Wilderness 7. Hellwaddler - Planting Pot Plants Plotting Top Plans 8. John Serrano - Queen of the Forest You can pick up Cosmic Bos's song 'Earth's Children' on the album MMC1 (2023) from bandcamp https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/mmc-1-2023-album and you can get it on CD if you like physical media. It can also be heard on all good streaming sites, and many of the bad ones too. You can also pick up the song 'Queen of the Forest' by John Serrano on his amazing album 'Alive' https://johnserrano.bandcamp.com/album/alive-lp which is coming out on Monochorme Motif records on the 6th September We won't be running a people's choice award for this episode as there are so few songs to choose from, instead we are giving Big Mic choice awards to everyone that sent in a song, congratulations to John Serrano, Colin Pimlott, A Sea Warren, Between Daze, Andrew Hartshorn and Hellwaddler, you are all winners.  Thanks again for all the support, the podcast will be back next month with something a little different, and we will do a best of/awards thing in December to cap off the year and tie in to the release of our album. Stay Beeeeeeeautiful Cosmic Bos

So, this episode was meant to be out back on the 1st of June, but Nick and Andy from Cosmic Bos went AWOL so it was left up to me, Big Mic! to pull it all together so that you wonderful listeners and musician subs could hear it. Oh, it's Big Mic by the way, I've had to step in and start running the MMC Challenger, I have enlisted David Battenberg Cake and the Sexy German to go and press the buttons (not RUB the buttons as SG seems prone to doing) so that this episode made it off of the interdimensional Rocket Submarine Train and into your podcast feed. This is Episode 2.5 - Funk Drunk Love, co-curated with the one and only Uncle Funkbeard (go follow the majestic Funkle on X, and check out the Only The Host YouTube Channel to see all of the funky goings on) and it features 14 of the funkiest, drunkiest and loveiest songs on the whole of the interweb, created by a handful of the greatest indie musicians working today. The opening song is by Cosmic Bos themselves, they managed to finish up their song before they dissapeared from the MMC Challenger, the song is called 'Drunk on Your Love' and can be purchased from bandcamp here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/track/drunk-on-your-love-feel-that-funky-heart-beating please consider giving them some money, that might actually get them back from wherever it is that they have gone AWOL to. They also made a nice little video to go with it, which you can watch and comment on here - https://youtu.be/wQnXo4jZdOI?si=HgQRFXqoj42G7hEj  I, Big Mic, have done all that I can to try and keep the format the same as what the Bos boys would do, not sure why I bothered, I could have done whatever I like because I'm Big Mic! But for the sake of all you listeners and submitters I've tried to keep it as close to the same as possible. It wasn't easy, have you ever tried to control a Cake and a sexy German while running a human circus in an engine room with a load of Midgets in sexy costumes while having to put up with Professor Briiiiiiiiiiian Cox and a future version of yourself that controls the universe in the future? Didn't think so. Format the same as usual, so we had the Peoples Choice Award winners from the previous episode, 2.4 Animals, and there were 3 of them! So big shout out to Natalie Williams Calhoun (NWC), Tonal Drift (TD) and A Sea Warren (Al or Owl), you all won a People Choice Award for your excellent Animals based songs, really good they were. You can vote in the Peoples Choice Award for this episode right here on this link (Insert link here) As we aren't sure where Nick and Andy are, I, Big Mic, decided we would give you all a bit longer to complete the next challenge, so you have till the 30th August to get your 2.6 songs into the Bos boys. Send your mp3's and a little Bio and write up to cosmicbos@gmail.com to be included in the next episode. The theme is Plantlife, 2.6 - Plantlife. It's a bit like parklife by Bluh but more Plant based. So, yeah get on with it! Once again, big shout out to Uncle Funkbeard for all he did for this episode, utter legend!  Here is the list of songs that go with this episode, in my, Big Mic's Big Number Order, so you can't cheat and skip through to a particular song, you have to listen to the whole thing! 1. Cosmic Bos - Drunk On Your Love (Feel That Funky Heart Beating) 2. Uncle Funkbeard - FOOL 3. A Sea Warren - Funk Drunk Love 4. Colin Pimlott - Funky Drunk Kind of Love 5. TruckDog & the Go People - Fulfill the Need 6. Andrew Hartshorn - Who Brings the Funk to Your Life 7. Taylor Lidstone - Barsnacks 8. John Serrano and James Slattery - Adrenaline Fire 9. Mario Marino - Plumage 10. Voltage Poetry Project - When the Wine Pours 11. Black Water Canyon - Whiskey Swamp 12. Chemical Shift - Awaken 13. Notehead - Funky Butt Loving 14. Hellwaddler - PFunky There you go, hopefully it's as good as the show normally is, we did our best without the Bos chaps, please go vote in the Peoples Choice Award, and if you are a musician that wants to submit to the MMC 2.6 - Plantlife challenge, you have till the 30th August 2024 to get your songs in. I am the one and only Big Mic from now, there is obviously Big Mic from the future who controls the universe, he's a lovely chap. Enjoy the episode and stay awesome sauce Big Mic

Hello Music fans, Welcome to a special presentation podcast by the hosts of the Monthly Music Challenge, Cosmic Bos (one S). Although this is the podcast feed for the MMC, it is also the place that Cosmic Bos put their special presentations and some other guff, like, if they want to chat about something for some reason. Cosmic Bos are Nick and Andy Jackson, brothers from the South of the UK, making music and music videos and sharing them with the world. Virtual Normality 3 is our third EP in the Virtual Normality series (you can tell by the 3 after the words Virtual and Normality), with the first one having come out way back in 2021 before the Monthly Music Challenge even existed, the second one hit internet shelves in 2022 mere months before the MMC was launched, and then this third one slipped onto the intershelves on the final day of 2023 (so we can still claim it came out in '23). https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/virtual-normality-3 A little Cosmic Bos history on this subject: Virtual Normality started life as a showcase for Nick and Andy of their songwriting skills, at the time, Cosmic Bos were making an improvised music podcast, with Nick and Andy working with Joe Philogene and producing 4 epic Full album improv sessions in 2021. 'Space Babies' was born from the improv sessions and was given a coat of production paint to open the EP, with 'Take it Easier', 'It's Always You' and 'Ride Another Wave' being used from the songbooks. 'Stay Inside' was a new song made with TexMex Shaman and loving placed on the EP. Flash forward a year and Cosmic Bos release Virtual Normality 2, having won a 'Judge's Choice' Award for their album '2 A.M it's Mission Time' it was decided that Nick and Andy would give the songwriting their full focus. VN2 contained 4 songs that had been born from the Music Weeklies challenge on X (formerly Twitter) as well as a Cosmic Bos remix of a song by Andrew Hartshorn and Natalie Williams Calhoun. It also served as the blueprint for the Monthly Music Challenge. At the end of the first year of the Monthly Music Challenge, Cosmic Bos turned their attention to Virtual Normality 3, knowing that they wanted it to showcase what the future may hold, just as the previous two VN EP's had. And that is what this podcast is about. Come on a journey with Nick Jackson and Andy Jackson of Cosmic Bos as they discuss their new 5 track EP Virtual Normality 3, which you can buy on bandcamp right now here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/virtual-normality-3 Also, if you fancy a free copy of the EP, then all you need to do is purchase our CD from Monochrome Motif Records here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/mmc-1-2023-album - Containing our 10 songs for the first year of the Monthly Music Challenge, and a bonus free digital download of Virtual Normality 3.

Hello dear listener, Welcome to the Monthly Music Challenge podcast with your hosts Cosmic Bos, they are Nick and Andy Jackson, brothers from the UK that make lots of music, and host this music challenge, monthly, in podcast form. This is the introduction episode to the second year of the Monthly Music Challenge. What is the Monthly Music Challenge? Good question, it is a podcast, audioshow, that comes out monthly, and contains music submitted around a theme each month. We did it all last year, and had 10 themes that made up MMC 1. Cosmic Bos (your show hosts) put their efforts out as a CD under Monochrome Motif records, which you can purchase from bandcamp here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/mmc-1-2023-album How do I get involved? If you are a musician, and you would like to submit music to the Monthly Music Challenge podcast, please send mp3's with a bio (for first timers) and a little write up about your track to cosmicbos@gmail.com  We listen to all submissions and craft a unique show out of them, the peeps of the MMC are the cream of the indie music scene, and you can be a part of it too. What is the theme for Jan 2024? Well, the theme for Jan 2024 is - First Impressions You have till the 2nd of Feb to get your 'First Impressions' songs in. Is there a way to submit songs from previous themes of the MMC? Funny you should ask, we had a segment last year we called 'Late Subs' to accomodate peeps that missed the deadline, and we will probably bring that back for this season of podcasting. So if you would like to make a song or piece of music about any of the themes from MMC1 then please do, and submit them in mp3 form to cosmicbos@gmail.com MMC1 Themes for late subs are: New Beginnings, Escape, Ignorance, Winning, Razzmajazz, Artificial Intelligence, Mother Earth, Dreams, Super Spectacular & Finale So for this intro episode we didn't really get any submissions, we had suggested that if peeps were up for it they could make a track to go with the theme 'Intro'. Only one person took up the challenge, the one and only Andrew Hartshorn. Who also put out an MMC 1 album from his efforts on the MMC in 2023. Go buy a copy on bandcamp, it's awesome sauce and well worth your eartime. Also, we hastily put our 'Intro' song together, and are getting it to pull double duties for now, as the podcast intro AND our MMC 2 intro. Fun times. Please like, share, comment and subscribe to Cosmic Bos Now get to work, you've got music to make Peace and infinite cake Cosmic Bos (one 'S')

So peeps, Cosmic Bos (your hosts of the MMC) presented the Gold Awards for the awesome music sent in the the Monthly Music Challenge in 2023. That was the Best of 2023, 11 Gold Award winning artists of the indie music scene, taking on challenges with a time limit and making the crispiest Golden music known to earballs in the solar rotational calander year known as 2023. There were of course, a great many Monthly Music Challenge submissions from which the gold award winners were plucked, and to honour the truly exceptional work of the awesome artists of the MMC, Cosmic Bos gave Silver Awards to all the shortlisted songs for the awards. So, we now present to you the Rest of MMC 2023, containing 10 of the Silver Award winning artists award winning songs, as well as 10 more Cosmic Bos songs from the rest of the music we made for the Monthly Music Challenge. Side note - Cosmic Bos took part in the Music Weeklies challenge for almost the entire year, producing 43 songs for the MMC which are all available on the EP's that went with each Monthly Challenge. Not to brag or nothing, but it was an experiment that helped shape both Andy and Nick into the Bos'es they need to be to helm the MMC Challenger (it's a rocket, submarine, train thing that crosses the musical multiverse, see previous episodes for more details). Monochrome Motif Records (the label run by Andrew Hartshorn) very kindly released Cosmic Bos MMC 1 (2023) on CD no less!

However, as we have already decided that we're coming back next year to do Monthly Music Challenge 2, we offer up a little winter challenge for the keen and eager. In Janurary, Cosmic Bos will do a 'MMC 2.0 intro' episode, to reintroduce the idea for next year, and give peeps the month of Jan to jam their themed jam. If you want to get in ahead of the game a bit, then we will spin on the show any 'intro's' you wish to make for your MMC2 album. We will make one, probably use it to double up as a theme tune for MMC2 podcast, not sure yet. But anyway, you have until the beginning of 2024 to send us any intros you wish, we will play them in the MMC 2.0 ep, keep 'em short, they are just intro's. With the year coming to close in a short while, we are going to do the Monthly Music Challenge awards for year 1, if you have taken part this year you are in the runnings for an award, we will split it into two parts, with a Gold and Silver version of each award, maybe, still pondering it to be honest.

Welcome to the Monthly Music Challenge with Cosmic Bos Podcast (the MMC) This is Episode 1.8 Dreams Join Nick and Andy (Cosmic Bos) as we delve deep into dreamland, listening for clue as to if this is a wonderful dream we have found ourselves in, or a twisted nightmare from which we can not escape! With the world in the questionable state it is currently in, it only seemed right to let the musicians of the MMC explore the internal space, where the mind is allowed to explore freely, to ponder the more existential elements of our shared experience, it could all, the whole darn lot of everything everywhere, be a dream, or a simulation, or even just the passing thoughts of an interdimentional hyper disco chicken cruising the open rainbow road! Who knows? Well not us, but maybe some answers lie in the music of this months music challenge. So prepare to explore the world of Dreams with the musical stylings of Mobidextrous, Man of Arun, Notehead, TexMex Shaman (& StonerJazz), Tonal Drift, Andrew Hartshorn, A Sea Warren, Michel Debois, Chemical Shift (Broken Nomads), Peter Hawkey, Hellwaddler, John Serrano and your hosts Cosmic Bos, as well as a special presentation by the supergroup collaboration of Hartshorn, Jackson, Jackson and Warren! What more could you ask for? Cosmic Bos put out our tracks as an EP on all good sites, but they also put it out on bandcamp where you can exchange money for music, it's a clever system that was developed by Gnomes a long time ago, but it seems to still be working to this very day. Here is the link to our EP, it has an alternative cover on BC too! https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/mmc-18-dreams You can also find several of the tracks in the show on Bandcamp or soundcloud or YouTube, depends where the amazing artists post them. Please support these awesome indie artists by visiting, listening and possibly even buying their music on Bandcamp. I know for a fact that John Serrano's track 'Crisp' is available on Bandcamp and you probably all should buy it, as well as HJJ&W's track too (from the 22nd September). Super outergalactic shout out to Only the Host and his amazing team, we love you guys and gals. And the Music Weeklies peeps too, keeping new music fresh on the internet. The next theme for the Monthly Music Challenge is our 9th one, and it is #SuperSpectacular, that's MMC 1.9 - SuperSpectacular  Send your mp3's with a little write up about the song (and a bio about yourself if you haven't been on the show already) to cosmicbos@gmail.com  You have until the 6th of October to get your SuperSpectacular songs to us for inclusion, we still have the late Subs section so if you wish to submit something under any of our previous themes then you can and we might play it in the Late Subs portion of the episode. SuperSpectacular will be the penultimate episode of MMC1, with only a final, as yet unknown theme, to go with MMC 1.10, but feel free to submit anything from the Late Sub category whenever you like. If you have played along all year, or are considering going back to take on the challenge, then on completion you will have a 10 track album, and that's pretty winning in our kindles. Please take the time to comment, follow, share, subscribe to all the amazing artists featured on the show, and buy their music, it's absolutely worth every smeckle, the least you can do is leave a comment, and comments make artists feel validated, so pwease, pwease, pwease we beg you, leave a comment or two to feed our dopimine addictions.

Welcome to the Monthly Music Challenge with Cosmic Bos podcast (the MMC) Episode 1.7 - Mother Earth Join Nick and Andy (Cosmic Bos) as we explore the musical interpretations created for our wonderful Mother Earth by some of the most talented musicians in the whole world. What did we all choose to say about Gaia, the great ball on which we all reside ? Well you are in for a treat friends, as all this music has been environmentally sourced, has an extremely low carbon footprint and has travelled from around our great planet without clocking in any airmiles (email miles don't count).

Please check them all out and share the musical connections. The next theme for MMC 1.8 is Dreams #Dreams  Please send your mp3's with a little write up about the song to cosmicbos@gmail.com  If you are a first time submitter please send a bio about yourself too, otherwise Nick and Andy will make something up and it will likely be very silly, music is a serious business and Cosmic Bos's style of podcast most certainly isn't serious.

Winning, 5. Razzmajazz, 6. Artificial Intelligence and now 7. Mother Earth) Good luck! Get your dreamy brain on and make up a song.

https://hartshornjacksonjacksonwarren.bandcamp.com The offices of Hartshorn, Jackson, Jackson & Warren (HJJ&W) present to you the minutes from the quarterly review meeting conducted by the visual promotional media department in late July 2023.  Due to time constrainted the video department would like to offer their appologies for being unable to meet the deadlines set by the record label Monochrome Motif, providing neither the promotional visual material for the single 'Playing Office' or the subsequent planned singles 'The Canvasser' and 'Repressent Me', all tracks featured on the Debut album by Hartshorn, Jackson, Jackson & Warren 'Sound Investments'.  As the album release is imminent (4th August 2023) it has been decided to package the minutes from our meeting as a preview podcast to provide some insight into the process of making an album in a month from 4 seperate locations across the United Kingdom, as well as showcase a cross section of the material contained on 'Sound Investments'.  The album 'Sound Investments' will be available to purchase in CD form from bandcamp from the 4th August 2023, and it contains 11 tracks all built in the month of May for the Lights and Lines album writing club competition. The single 'Playing Office' was part of the Album Writing Club 2023 playlist and can be found here Playing Office by HJJ&W on Soundcloud The album was unsuccessful in securing any recognition from the competition, but due to business planning the partners had managed to secure a release for the album with Monochrome Motif.  Monochrome Motif on Bandcamp It should be noted for the minutes that Andrew Hartshorn is both the 'Hartshorn' in HJJ&W AND the CEO of Monochrome Motif records, placing him in a fortuatous position for negotiating the release of 'Sound Investments'. https://hartshornjacksonjacksonwarren.bandcamp.com Contained within this preview podcast: Radio promotional material no.23 Playing Office The Canvasser Represent Me Radio promotional material no.42 Within the preview podcast you will find this extensive sample of the album.  Including recordings from the progress discussions with Andrew Hartshorn and Al Warren, Cosmic Bos (Nick and Andy Jackson) guide you through the wonderful world of modern office life as musicians trying to juggle the responsibilities of existence. All tracks written, performed & produced by Hartshorn, Jackson, Jackson & Warren. Thank you for you time, and please consider purchasing this album in all seriousness. The visual marketing department wil be placed on Incentive Plans to ensure the completion of their assignments, and the Partners of HJJ&W do not wish the incompetencies of this department to reflect negatively on the company as a whole.  This Quarterly review meeting has been made available by Andy Jackson & Nick Jackson, for the public records, under the Monthly Music Challenge with Cosmic Bos Podcast label.

We added a little bonus feature to the end of this show too, as we are evolving this idea and watching it take shape. We were asked by The Word Alchemist to do an instrumental version of one of Nick's older songs, which we did, and then it seemed only natural to add the vocal and before we knew it we had a fully finished song. So, we launch this new feature into the Monthly Music Challenge by in which, if the inspiration from the hashtag of the month isn't grabbing you, you can raid your musical archive and spruce up, rework or simply redo something from your songbook, we are calling this section  FromTheSongbook songs And Cosmic Bos are going first with this, so here's the first entry to the Songbook section of the MMC 25. Heart Holder - Cosmic Bos Heart Holder was originally recorded by Cosmic Bos as part of a special presentation in Season 2 of our podcast, and it's a totally banger, with Nick taking the lead vocal and the guitars pumping it all up. It was fun doing a proper recording of it, and as is the usual Bos way, we will see where this feature goes, we have plenty of songs in our own songbooks which may appear here...

For all the crazy in the world, it's not a problem if we can make good our escape. Please like, share and subscribe And send your Escape songs to us before the 3rd of March 2023.

Hello, Welcome to this quick little podcast containing Cosmic Bos's entry to the #industrial music challenge presented by Music Weeklies. We Worked Hard for You by Cosmic Bos This is my (Andy's) song about industrial action, going on strike, standing up for workers rights. #Industrial marks the final hashtag for January and you can submit tracks made under this banner up until the 3rd Feb. Next week will be Monthly Music Challenge 1.1 New Beginnings, and you can still submit your songs made around that banner until the 3rd Feb too (as well as Pixels and Geisha). Please like, share and subscribe, and tell all your musical friends to listen and take part. Peace and infinite love Cosmic Bos https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos

The third hashtag for 2023 is #Geisha You can now submit Geisha inspired songs to the Monthly Music Challenge for possible inclusion in the first proper episode of MMC Submissions for MMC 1.1 New Beginnings open until the 3rd Feb 2023, so get a move on music makers. This song is Cosmic Bos' submission to the Geisha challenge, not our usual style for sure, we went with a remix angle rather then an imitation one, not sure we could learn the intricacies of traditional Japanese music in a few days, so instead we added beats and bass, modern it up a bit.  Check the video out on our youtube YouTube Video Link Also check out our link tree for all your Cosmic Bos musical needs https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos

So we will be adding our hashtag songs for the other weeks of the Music Weeklies challenge into our podcast feed, to use the bandwidth.  This first month of the Monthly Music Challenge is focused on the hashtag New Beginnings - and the entries have been coming in, we are really excited to put together the first proper episode of the Monthly Music Challenge, and we are equally excited to see where it goes, come on the journey with us fellow music makers, come make an album across the year. Email your mp3's to cosmicbos@gmail.com around the theme New Beginnings by the 3rd of Feb (which will be the date of the next hashtag). You can also send us now songs written around the 2nd hashtag of month 1 #Pixels.  We are still unsure of how this is going to play out, but we are well aware of several musicians that took part in the Pixels hashtag for music weeklies that didn't take part in the New Beginnings one, and we would really like to spin your tracks in this first month episode. Anyway, thanks for reading all this, this actual podcast is just the demo song that I (Andy) put together for the Pixels hashtag. It was spun on New Music Saturday and got a rave review from the chaps there. What do you recon, any good? Here is the link to the video version on youtube  One Pixel at a Time (Demo) by Cosmic Bos on YouTube Please like, share and subscribe to all our stuff, thanks Here's the link tree for handy access  https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos 

A week into the Monthly Music Challenge and the @musicweeklies chaps have closed the door on submissions and opened up the next hashtag, so @CosmicBos present to you their song 'Nude Beginnings' in its raw week old form. We will now begin the tweaking process, tidy this mess up, get some sweet harmonies in there, maybe a guitar or two more, and I've been eyeing up the bagpipes for a track too (not that I can play them, or have any). You have until the 3rd of Feb to send us your #NewBeginnings track for inclusion in the Monthly round up (Coming shortly after the 3rd Feb - once we've recorded the thing) The new hashtag is now open for submission too, you have a week to do it for the Music Weeklies challenge, and three weeks to do it for the Monthly Challenge. Hopefully that makes sense, we are making this up as we go along pretty much.

Hello friends, Stop Saying 1984 to Make a Point by Cosmic Bos From our Judges Choice Award Winning Album  https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/2-a-m-its-mission-time This song is about how people often quote and use the ideas presented in the text of 1984 by George Orwell, to make a point, which ultimately just reveals that the person saying it has not read or understood the text they are quoting, and ironically furthering some of the more alarming elements of the text. Probably not the sort of thing someone should write a song about as it is quite meaningless, but, Cosmic Bos did it, and here it is.

Hello you, Nice to see you here, how's it going? In 2022, Nick and Andy worked on some really fun, exciting projects, and it seemed fitting to close out the year with a little acoustic performance of a selection of the years songs made by Cosmic Bos. Also, the boys did a cover of a Dan Wilson song, Dancing on the Moon, which was Baby Theo's favourite song on the year (he made us play it to him lots and lots). There had been plans for a whole 'Dan Wilson' special, but alas, time got the better of us and the idea has been put back on the shelf to be revisited at a later date (WE LOVE YOU DAN WILSON - you are an inspiration) Please like, share and subscribe https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos Full tracklist for Bos Live 2 Morning Coffee Faded Memories Re:Mission Isle of Avalon Money Pwease Nun in a Kayak Here's Tom with the Weather (Bill Hicks Tribute) Spaceship Earth Dancing on the Moon (Dan Wilson Cover) Thanks for being on the journey with us in 2022, it's been wonderful.

False Promises (Cosmic Bos Mix) - Andrew Hartshorn ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun, vocalled and remixed by Cosmic Bos Taken from Cosmic Bos Virtual Normality 2 False Promises is originally a song on Andrew Hartshorn's album Movie House, which featured Natalie Williams Calhoun's sublime Cello playing. Cosmic Bos liked the song, so Andy wrote lyrics and a melody, recorded it with Nick, sent it to Andrew, and then Nick added Bass and Drums (and a couple of other things), and we called it a Bos Mix. Video shot on a rainy day by Andy out of his front room window. Available on all good internet platforms, you might even find it in the meta verse, but if you like bandcamp then we suggest this link right here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/virtual-normality-2 Also, please like, share and subscribe to our podcast and youtube you can find all the links you need under our tree https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos

Please like, share and subscribe And comment, and review, these really help us out against the almighty algorithm (which takes bribes we can't afford) Peace and infinite love Cosmic Bos

Welcome fellow traveller, Here's a linktree you can take shelter under https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos You have reached the hub of the Cosmic Bos multiverse and begin your journey down the second of our Virtual Normality tours. Last time, we explored Space with Babies, chilled out, stayed inside and then ended with a birth.  So a year later, Cosmic Bos have decided to take you on a different journey. For this year (2022) has been an exploration of songwriting, in it's many varied forms, as well as Cosmic Bos collaborating with other types of musicians to explore music further. Back in August '22, Andy started taking part in a weekly music challenge that is run primary from Twitter, where each week a hashtag is set and you have one week to make an original piece of music on theme (big thanks to Trench Gun for hooking us in). To start with Andy didn't take it very seriously, but a few weeks in it was becoming exciting trying to write the best song possible within the very loose restrictions. So play along with the episode and try and Guess the Hashtag to 4 of the songs, and be WOW'ed by False Promises (Cosmic Bos Mix) by Andrew Hartshorn ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun. The move towards orchestration is a spoiler alert for next year.

Natalie Calhoun) which was his entry to the #albumwritingclub Bandcamp Link - Movie House I (Andy) wrote a lyric for it and recorded it with Nick. We sent it to Andrew and he did the above with it. We will release our own Cosmic Bos Mix of the song next month as part of our new EP.
