It was a big weekend for Cosmic Bos, we put out our first Monthly Music Challenge song, Nude Beginnings - the weeklies version of our #newbeginnings song. And here it is:
And the video version too, from our lil old utub
If that wasn't enough, we were also interviewed on the amazing New Music Saturday show, and here that is too:
Massive thanks to Dr. Bones and Mike5 for having us on, we could have chatted to them for hours, and Spoiler Alert! but we will be back on the show midyear to give an update on the Monthly Music Challenge.
The bangs just keep being 2023 shaped.
We also did a little acoustic version of Nude Beginnings to show it's stripped down basic essence, so nude, we nuded Nude Beginnings.
We have already had several submission for the MMC #NewBeginnings challenge, and there is still a couple of weeks before the closing date for subbing, so if this idea is peaking your musical interest then come aboard, the staff are mostly friendly on the good ship Cosmic Bos, and we are here to answer anything we can.
Nick is busy tweaking up Nude Beginnings, he's already done quite a bit and it is sounding nice. Got to redo the vocals and add harmonies still, but it's coming together nicely.
Welcome to the Best of Season 4 (2022) of the Cosmic Bos Music Podcast.

Thanks for all the support in 2022, we have lots more exciting adventures to come in '23, including big Andrew Hartshorn collabs, and the actual release of The O Door, the album we were making for our Making of an Album series. Plus we are going to launch a kinda competition, for songwriters and musicians, linked in with the lovely people of Music Weeklies. Roll on '23.
Here's the YouTube playlist of all our music videos for 2022.
And here's the Best of on YouTube too
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, we have a special Live album coming out 25th December, containing some acoustic renditions of songs from our year, including such smash hits as Isle of Avalon and Morning Coffee. It's a nice chilled acoustic romp, which you can enjoy with your animals.
Cosmic Bos (Andy & Nick Jackson) enlisted the talents of Joe Philogene to create this wonderful piece of music for the Album in a Month challenge put on by Lights And Lines Indie Label back in May 2022. It is the second piece Joe designed for us, and it is simply sublime, Joe plays the 12 string Ngoni forming the backbone of this transcendent piece. We love you Joe.
For the video we have simply overlaid some footage from our Wales holiday, and some home beach footage too, over the original videos of us making the song.
Andrew Hartshorn did an Orchestral version of this song, check it out and give him a listen
Quilt (Orchestral Version) by Andrew Hartshorn is the double A side to False Promises, which we did a bit of vocals on for Andrew. We have a Cosmic Bos remix of False Promises which will feature on our next EP (Virtual Normality 2) coming in November to ears near you.
Have a wonderful day being awesome, you got this
Peace and infinite love
Cosmic Bos

Fourthly - Bandcamp. Where you can support us with money, by buying the song, or purchasing one of our other fine albums that frequent the camp.
Fifthly - Spotify, iTunes, Amazon etc. We are all over these things too, and waiting for subscriptions from you.
Wow that took a while to get through, and there are plenty more unmentioned locations too, I just don't have the time to list them all, I'm busy making the most of the amazing UK beach weather at the moment.
So Catch a Clue, the second song made available from our Judges Choice Award Winning album '2 A.M, it's Mission Time', coming 19th August to an everywhere near you, is our shot at an 80's style dance tune with a talky rap vocal and a wordy chorus. What do you recon? Any good?
Thanks for visiting our humble blog, love ya for that.
