Road Trip - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video using Lego)

 Hello friends,

With 2020 drawing to its inevitable conclusion, and the hopes that 2021 will not be a poorly thought out sequel but instead a brand new bold direction for the Earth franchise, it is time to share our thoughts on this year. Here at Cosmic Bos we have put together a year revi... what?...no, it's the year review thing...oh, that's not todays blog? When is it then?...so this blog is?... Road Trip, of course, sorry, my bad, been hoping backwards and forwards through time a lot lately, got confused what date it was.

Without further adoing, we present to you Road Trip - An animated music video by Cosmic Bos


The video was made by Nick Jackson, using Lego Cosmic Bos and a green screen. The last shot reveals Andrea and Theo sat in the room in which most of our editing took place in 2020 and marks Theo's first appearance in a Bos video (pretty sure it won't be his last)

The song is taken from Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation Ep.16: Mask and Thy Shall Deceive, and it features Doug Rutter, it's on Spotify and amazon etc. Spotify album link

What a lot of fun that was, the final video in the Cosmic Bos 2020 arsenal. We hope you have enjoyed your time with us this year, we have thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. From 'Focus' to 'Road Trip' we have put out 19 music videos this year, as well as 8 acoustic songbook videos and a 7 part documentary about our antics that we made ourselves to feed our egos. With our egos fed, we are free to pursue our goals of further mining the improv music landscape and 2021 will be our best year yet, with some exciting surprises too.

Thanks for all the love,

A Tarot Tale - Cosmic Bos Music Video ft. Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot

 Oh dear friends,

The darkness has come to talk with us again, this time using Tarot, and some improvisation.

A Tarot Tale - Cosmic Bos

Taken from Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation Ep.16: Mask and Thy Shall Deceive

Music improvised by Chris Mace, Nick Jackson, Andy Jackson & Doug Rutter

Revised and Mastered by Chris Mace and Nick Jackson

Video by Andy Jackson, Hand acting by Abi Jackson

Tarot is an old thing that has been passed through time, maybe it's just a game, or maybe it's something more, tied into the very fabric of existence, guiding our fumbling mental states towards some kind of
personal evolution, letting us talk to ourselves in a way we can understand, or it could just be some very pretty cards that are nice to look at and ponder.

Whatever you think of Tarot, we here at Cosmic Bos have a set of Tarot cards (Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot) and we wanted to use them in an improvised session to make a song, which is what we did, and this very video is a reenactment of the original Tarot reading (literally, like, just what it says on the cards, no deeper analysis of context or meaning) set to the revised version of the original improvised song.

We love you very much

For anyone that would prefer the youtube link to the video, please find it embedded just beneath these very words that you didn't need to waste time reading because they contain no information and are merely taking valuable eyes seconds away from your life! Your life is slipping through your blinks, and you have just wasted at least a few of them on this bit of writing now, go on, move on, get on with your life, watch the video again, and again, and then share it with a friend, responsibly, don't go trying to force them to watch it, we are not in the business of forcefully inserting our music videos into unwilling participants, make sure they are willing, and then insert it into them, responsibly.
