Cosmic Bos - Bos Live #2 (2022)

 Hey!

Click Play!

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)

Cosmic Bos Live on The Premium Blend Radio Show

 Hello friends,

We had the privilege of doing The Premium Blend Radio Show on the 14th of April 2022, it was an absolute blast, we got to play 5 of our songs and talk at length about ourselves, while host Stuart Clack-Lewis expertly drove the show along with a bit of help from the lovely Pebbled.

Nick and I (Andy) are often more at home making music, well, at home, but it was great to take our sound out to the people. We will get out on the live music scene more in the near future, there really is nothing like it for musicians.

Stuart and Pebbles
running the show

Nick and I (Andy) waffled on about ourselves and our music making process, and we played 5 live acoustic renditions of tracks from our back catalogue and two from our most recent album.

We highly recommend you check out https://thepremiumblendradioshow.co.uk 

Stuart Clack-Lewis does a sterling job bringing fresh new indie music to the ears of the masses, and he has an eclectic list of
awesome musical live guests lined up, and he podcasts the whole thing so you can listen when you want. What a great free musical deal it is, endorsed by Cosmic Bos for sure.

We also did an interview for Marc Schuster which was a lot of fun too, find that here

Cosmic Bos: Bos Live #1 (2021) - Cosmic Bos Improv Music Podcast Season 4 Ep. 1

 Hello friends,

Happy new season, Cosmic Bos Improv Music Podcast kicks off Season 4 with a Live Show for you.

Cosmic Bos : Bos Live #1 (2021)

Tracklist: 

1. Take it Easier
2. Sunrise Reflections
   
3. Intentionally
4. Bad Decisions
5. Space Babies
6. Perplexed
7. Rainbow Appearing
8. Ignore the Alarm

All music performed by Joe Philogene (Ngoni & Percussion), Nick Jackson (Electric Guitar & Backing Vocals) and Andy Jackson (Acoustic Guitar & Lead Vocals)

Wowza! Ain't that a whole lotta fun right there. This Live session was recorded back on the 18th of December in the crazy year that was 2021. It was a bit of a rush and a push to try and get it out at the end of the year, so we held back and put it out right now at the start of '22. 

Cosmic Bos performed one gig last year, and we played most of the songs on our live album, and as we had rehearsed up to be all good for our solitary performance, it only seemed sensible to make a recording of our efforts. We are pretty proud of the outcome, what do you recon?

Full visual presentation (which was too big a file to put in the podcast feed) right here for you, served up by the wonderful bots at YouTube.

Coming Soon - Cosmic Bos: Making of an Album Introduction Episode, with some new music and some new business to take care of. Until then though...

Summer Beach Kalimba Jam party 2021 - Cosmic Bos go all thumb piano

 Hello friends,

I hope the summer is treating you well

We here at Cosmic Bos have been busy recording an EP (coming very soon), as well as our next Improvisation podcast, so plenty of new material coming up in the near future.

In between this though, we have been having jams on the beach with Kalimbas.

Kalimba Beach Jam #1

Kalimba Beach Jam #2

Kalimba Beach Jam #3

It has been great fun playing the Kalimba, and it makes a big appearance in our next improvised album (which we've recorded already but not mixed yet, or worded up with wisdom).

Big thanks to Joe Philogene for being such a legend, he truly has made 2021 an exciting year of musical exploration and Cosmic Bos wouldn't be the same without him.

Coming Up next: An EP, some silliness in video form, and more.

Peace and infinite love

All music improvised by Cosmic Bos

Joe Philogene - Percussion, Ngoni and various instruments

Nick Jackson - Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Synth and Vocals

Andy Jackson - Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Synth and Vocals

On the 5th June 2021, Cosmic Bos met at a secret location to record the third in their fully improvised series, with a book full of pre-written lyrics and plenty of snacks. It was a wonderful afternoon of musical exploration, and here for your pleasure is the whole thing, including some of the intros and outros that usually get cut off, there is about 20 mins of it, that is not present on the album version.

The words of wisdoms for this episode where lovingly borrowed from YouTube, with Charlie Chaplin's speech being from the film The Great Dictator (1940) and available on youtube many times, with music accompanying it. Nelson Mandela's speech from his release from prison in 1990 also comes from youtube and shares far to many similarities to Chaplin's speech from 50 years before. Which leads us to Greta Thunberg from December 2019 addressing the UN on Climate Change, with echos of both Chaplin and Mandela.

So as not to feel too down and out about the state of the world and the people that patrol it, the final Words of Wisdom comes from Ram Dass, an ever reliable source of great wisdom. The full Ram Dass speech can be found on the Here and Now podcast, link to the specific episode right here.

Stayed Here for the Feeling - Cosmic Bos Sunrise Reflections (track 9 of 13)

 So friends,

We came here for the fun, but stayed here for the feeling

Track 9 on Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections

Percussion - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

Video by Nick and Andy Jackson

After a couple of sets of wise words from the almighty Ram Dass, Cosmic Bos come back to their musical roots and serve up a somewhat simple singer songwriter kinda song. With lyrics by Andy, the chaps came here for the fun, but stayed here for the feeling.

Stayed Here for the Feeling - Lyrics by Andy Jackson

Spread across the bed

While the mower’s in the shed

Gets dustier and rustier

Use paving stones instead

Lazy built an empire

And then slept through the day

Generations greatest gifts

Casually thrown away

But fun is what we came for

The feelings’ why we stayed

We’ll decimate the buffet

And likely misbehave 

Yonder window sunset

Yesterday was better

Except for the pain we felt

So easy to forget her

Tomorrow could be easy

Or is that simply dreaming

Came here for the fun

But stayed here for the feeling

Today is all okay

This is time worth stealing

Came here for the fun

Stayed here for the feeling

Feel the World - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (track 6 of 13)

 Hello friends,

Track 6 of our Sunrise Reflections is the magical Feel the World

The 6th outing from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections is the beautiful song Feel the World, accompanied by some stunning nature photography.

Percussion and Vocals - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Backing Vocals - Andy Jackson

Feel the World - lyrics by Joe Philogene

One Heart,

One Soul,

One Mind

Feel the World

Utilising a selection of percussive instruments (including the spinny round the head wwoooooo making thing) Joe leads the chant to Mother Earth, and we spend some time in the relaxing forest making sweet fairy music for all of the wonders that surround us.

Cosmic Bos are big fans of the World, it's pretty neat, and we think that it deserves more attention, some more songs about it, especially after all it's done for us. We are somewhat ungrateful children to the Earth, and it really is time we tidied our room before the threat of no dinner becomes an actuality.

Spend time outside, go and feel the world in your lungs, let the bird song enrich your soul, let the breeze tickle your senses, and remember that we are all part of the same thing, we are all in this together (cough, Mr Bezos!).

Intentionally - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (track 5 of 13)

 So friends, intentionally,

The fifth track from Improv 2 finds us back with a set of lyrics to contemplate existence and some trippy visuals to sooth the eyes.

Percussions - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

Intentionally - lyrics by Andy Jackson

Intentionally slowing down

Potentially turn this frown

Upside down and inside out

See what this is all about

Trickery came thick at me 

Distorted all reality

But truth wins eventually 

Tunnelling through intentionally 

Intentionally freaking out

Sucking juice from seeds of doubt

Drafting up the backless gown

Mooning the entire town

Trickery comes down the line

Causing shifts in fickle time 

But truth will win the vintage wine

Intentionally solving the crime 

Intentionally, Potentially, Intentionally

On a simple chord sequence, the Bos chaps present a haunting tale of intentions, facing the trickery that we face daily, not being afraid to stand up for ourselves, be questioning, don't just accept apathy, be present in the moment so you can live your life with intention, intentionally.

Joe beats the frame drums to the rhythm of our souls, while Nick wails the woes with the electric and Andy teaches his acoustic a lesson in strumming. Fun stuff indeed. This song, like all the previous songs in this presentation has begun it's journey as an improvisation, come up with there and then, with the pre-written lyrics serving as a guide for some thoughtful rhymes and vibes, when the lyrics are left to also be improvised they tend to lean towards the silly side of the spectrum rather then the profound.

The full episode and album are available.

Apparently - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (Track 4 of 13)

 So Apparently,

We reached it, it's here, apparently.

The fourth song from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections, and the next instalment in our audio/visual presentation.

Ngoni and Percussion - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar, Synth and Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

The lyrics for this song were improvised on the spot, just like the rest of the song. There was a collection of jars sat behind Nick on a shelf, they acted as the launching point for the lyrical wonder that is 'Apparently'.

We decided on a colourful moving image palette to go with this song, and sunflowers. Hopefully a visual feast for your eyes while the music is a treat for your ears. Imagine the smell of beautiful flowers to complete the sensory experience (we are not yet capable of releasing the smell version of our jams)

For the full improv session visit our podcast site and download the 2 hour meditative improvised musical experience. The full version features some wonderful words of wisdom by Ram Dass, it's embedded right below these very words in fact.

Sunrise Reflections - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (Track 3 of 13)

 Oh glorious sunrise, we worship thee,

This is the title track from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections, and the third song in this audio/visual presentation.

Ngoni and Percussion - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar, Synth and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

Sunrise Reflections lyrics by Andy Jackson

Nothing beats a sunrise

Party up a surprise

Cameras are our new eyes

Ones that never use lies

Changing of perspective 

Replace what’s now defective 

Of life we be protective 

Let’s avalanche collective

Together we have powers

To topple ancient towers

To overthrow in hours

The corner dwelling cowards

But best just to avoid it

Let them sleep in their own shit

We’ll come in for a refit 

Once this old horse has bolted

All the steps we’ve counted

And failures we’ve dismounted 

Why was it ever doubted?

Nature just gets rerouted 

Humans are just a blip

Missing one obvious trick

Harmony with Mother Nature 

Doesn’t require legislature 

What we take we must replace 

There can’t be losers in this race

It’s every planet, species, life form 

Winning all the time we’ll reform

A dream that we can wake to

A dream that we can wake to

...

Reflecting on the world near the start of the day can be a healthy way to approach the challenges that the hours are likely to bring your way. Always remember the clouds are there to bring colour and flair to the sky.

Joe leads with a beautiful Ngoni rhythm, which Nick and Andy meander around.

For the visuals we searched for sunrises and epic skylines from around the world, and then over-layed it on us playing.

Bad Decisions - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (Track 2 of 13)

 So friends,

The first proper thing after sunrise, we have to start making decisions.

Wow, not sure we made such good decisions there...

Cover for the full album

Ngoni and Percussion - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar, Synth and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

Video by Nick Jackson and Andy Jackson

Lyrics - Bad Decisions by Andy Jackson

The teacher is having a breakdown

Technology dulled all the skills

Always on a digital playground

Hormones regulated by pills

It’s just a ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba

Mosaic by Abi Jackson

Bad decisions,

It’s a ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba

Bad decisions

It’s a natural disaster in progress

Slowly robotising us all

We’re more like an app on an tablet

Rather then a brick in a wall

CHORUS

Actions reduced to just pixels 

Emotions switched out for a meme

All the thumbs up on a status

Seduced by the notes on the screen

CHORUS

The doctor is having a break now, she’s been on her feet for a week

While pompous pricks go on a pow-wow, Continue the causing the bleak

CHORUS

- So there you have it, the first full step into the great wide musical world of Cosmic Bos, the sun has risen and we are exploring what there is to offer out in the great wide world.

Joe provides an awesome Ngoni rhythm for Nick and Andy to noodle over, and reflecting on the times in which we now live, the teachers and doctors are given the spotlight for a moment, let's hope we listen to them and don't just go and do some stupid nonsense instead...

Drones galore in this one, coming out of buildings, zooming through forests, over beaches and towns, while the Bos crew try and make semblance out of the chaos gifted us by the World.

Peace be the journey,

Time is Now - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (track 1 of 13)

 Hello lovely friends,

Welcome to the introductory part of our special presentation

Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2 : Sunrise Reflections

We start at the beginning, as everything must, the Time is Now

Cover for Improvisation 2

Sunrise is such a wonderful time of the day, 

Time is Now - Cosmic Bos Improvisation

Percussion - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar & Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic, Synth & Vocals - Andy Jackson

When we begin one of our improvised journeys we have to set the levels of the microphones and things, you know, technical stuff, but the music starts before we can sort out all that. This song is us testing out the recording levels, and it came out alright, so it opens this journey.

Letting the music decide the course of the journey is exciting, and utilising a little bit of editing trickery, we have been able to project sunrises all around us. So our journey begins with Sunrise, the time is now, and our journey will be full of reflections of this opening moment, it's time to come get lost with Cosmic Bos.

Our music makes good meditation music, or just general chilling out, it's relaxing not taxing, thank you for taking the time to explore these awesome creative realms with us, sharing and commenting helps spread the peace and rhythm, we do this for the music.

Words of Wisdom 1: Terence McKenna and Mark Pesce with improvised music by Cosmic Bos

 So friends,

Here we present to you an idea that has been banging around for quite a while now, an improvised musical journey with a wise speaker over the top, and where better to start such an idea then with the one and only Terence McKenna.

So for your wisdom today, Cosmic Bos Improvisation presents

Words of Wisdom 1: Terence McKenna and Mark Pesce

Terence McKenna ladies and gentlemen, what a legend.

The Terence and Mark sample is taken from an awesome podcast called the Psychedelic Salon, which has been around for a long time, putting out amazing talks by some brilliant and insightful minds.

Link to the full talk here https://psychedelicsalon.com/podcast-116-techno-pagans-at-the-end-of-history/

Humanity stands at a pivotal point in history, the now moment is changing so rapidly that it appears impossible to have a grasp on reality, we have all been hoodwinked and are stumbling around dazed and confused, but not to worry, for clarity comes once dust settles and calm befalls us all, for the storm can not rage forever, and hate eventually gets tired and goes to sleep for a bit.

Thank you for spending some of your time with us here at the Cosmic Blog, you are wonderful and great things will happen for you, so go get it Tiger (I am obviously assuming that the main audience base for this blog is large cat based, skewing towards Lions, Tigers, Panthers etc. as well as domesticated felines of course, this is for the cats).

Please follow us on all the things, youtube is good, it has that subscribe button and handy bell thing too!

Also our podcast https://cosmicbos.libsyn.com , available where you get your podcast from

And our Spotify

Good things for your ears

Currency - Improvisation by Cosmic Bos

 So dear friends,

Here is an improvised meditative video for you

We here at @Cosmic Bos started a new project very recently, we did a test/pilot from which two videos surfaced (Perplexed and Ride the Waves)

and then went straight to series, because we don't wait around for anyone to tell us what to do, we're our own bos! 

Joe Philogene on Ngoni and Percussion 

Nick Jackson on Electric Guitar

Andy Jackson on Acoustic Guitar and Vocals

The lyric was made up on the spot

it's just...

Pennies, line the jar

Pennies, travelled from afar

Can, can we, accept trouble in ?! (not sure)

Currency

Currently

Is losing it's meaning, it's losing it's meaning

...

and that's it, it's like a low grade version of Money by Pink Floyd, with less cash registers and far less lyrics.

Not Babylon or Rome - improvisation by Cosmic Bos

 So friends,

It's May already, and may I be the first to say, Hooray Hooray Bo Diddily Day (no one else is ever going to say that probably)

Please check out our podcast if that's the kind of thing you are into, it's where we do our long form improvising and improv-revising.

NOT BABYLON OR ROME

It was fun while it lasted

Just the one more , I’m plastered

Pickled mind you take your tears home

These gardens aren’t Babylon or Rome

Escaping the rooms of your mind

Demons have gone and redesigned 

Take all those failings, chain them to the railings

This isn’t Babylon or Rome

Statues of virtually anyone’s victory

Carvings itself over all of our history

Devilish details hiding in old tales

Cast down from Babylon and Rome

You’ll reach these conclusions on your own

This was never Babylon or Rome

And subscribe to our Youtube and leave us lovely comments, please, we will pay you in soothing improvised music we promise

So thanks for your time, hope you are making the most of it

Peace and infinite love

Ride the Waves - Improvised Cosmic Bos Acoustic ft. Joe Philogene

 Hello lovely friends,

Here for you is the second improvised song from our improvised pilot session for our new upcoming show Cosmic Bos Improvisation podcast.

A more stripped back and mantra like jam action from your Cosmic Bos then you maybe use to. 

Ride the Waves is the second song from our test session, the first being 'Perplexed'. We also recorded a bunch of other stuff on that day, but that's for our ears only (at least until we become mega famous and have special anthologies made about us, and someone unearths from the iCloud the lost songs from the pilot session of the worlds most celebrated podcast)

On Saturday 3rd April 2021 we recorded the first full episode of our improvisation podcast, (take note of the date time travellers) currently untitled, still got a bit of time to come up with a clever title. It was an amazing session, we streamed the middle part of it live on instagram and facebook and sessions all at the same time.

In fact, here it is embedded from facebook

The 5 songs from this live jam will turn up on the improvisation podcast I mentioned earlier in this blog, we have 3 songs from the session we did before the live bit, and 3 songs/bits from the session we did straight after this stream. But these 5 songs exist for you here not too dissimilar to how they will turn up in the future on our first fully improvised album (currently still untitled, I had not managed to come up with a title since starting writing this blog). The 5 songs here are: 

1. Perplexed
2. Metrics of Success
3. Yarway
4. Share
5. Crazy-Go-Round

Yarway and Crazy-Go-Round can be found on Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation Episode 7: On Yarway, these versions here are the improvised versions.

Check out our podcast and subscribe to our YouTube channel

Thanks for being amazing

We have an April podcast lined up that is a bit different from what we've done before, it's called 'A Mike Schur thing' where Nick and Andy are going to chat about all things Mike Schur created and related, it should be fun, at least for us it will be, for you, hopefully too.

Peace and infinite love

Perplexed - An improvised song by Cosmic Bos ft. Joe Philogene

So friends,

New horizons are horizoning, improvisation sessions hidden within practices, all good stuff.

We here at Cosmic Bos have been doing some self reflecting, as is customary during lockdown times, and conclusions have been reached about some changes that need to take place. No longer having a master producer has put more onus on us mere musician types to step up to the plate and learn more production skills...we will do our best.

So first of the new deals is this improvisation we did with Joe Philogene, Perplexed 

Andy, Nick and Joe had an afternoon of musical whimsy and practice, which led to a handful of purely improvised songs, Perplexed being one of them. We had been having a moment outside where we were discussing how awesome Radiohead are, we even listened to an amazing Acapella version of 15 Steps, so we were feeling rather Thom Yorke inspired when we sat down to jam it out. 

This is the leading inspiration for the new show we will launch soon called 'Cosmic Bos Improvisation', it's improvised and then not revised, it's pure improvisation to its core, dropped notes and all. Coming soon in a big way to a podcast page near you.

We have also been practicing up our live skills ready for when the world realises that it needs live music again to help fill the void of virus fear. We have been using an up and coming streaming service called Sessions.

Cosmic Bos Live on Sessions

https://artists.sessionslive.com/cosmicbos

Hooray

We are doing our practices there, so come along and join our crew.

There is still plenty of Improv-Revisation shenanigans to come, it has not been abandoned, we just have some other things to attend to at this moment.

Our next months podcast will be an experimental new format which we are currently calling 'It's a Mike Schur thing' - where Nick and Andy will discuss their love of all things Mike Schur (creator of Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn99 and The Good Place), looking forward to trying something new.

Until then though, how about you hang around and check out some of our other creative endeavours

Karma Police - Radiohead Acoustic Cover (CB/AC #4)

 Hello friends,

So Radiohead are a pretty good band, probably one of our favourites over here at Cosmic Bos, we had the amazing fortune to go and see them live in a forest in Germany when they were touring In Rainbows, it is without a doubt one of the 5 best gigs we've ever been to, and, well, if you've ever seen Radiohead live, then you know what we're talking about.

So Karma Police by Radiohead, we did an acoustic cover of it, and it's here, with an introduction by Theodore Jackson

Such fun indeed, hope you enjoyed that, new one coming very soon

We also have a podcast special interview with ourselves that we did, it's coming this month for sure.

Have a wonderful moment, every moment you want to

Peace

Cosmic Bos
