Mikey J · My Little Dragon Girl

 Isle of Avalon was our single submission to the Lights and Lines Album Writing Competition Singles playlist, our album is 12 tracks and we can't wait to share it with you. 

We have recorded a video for our proper single 'Catch a Clue', which will be with you mid July. It's very 80's inspired which is keeping with our collective current nostalgia gazing.

Anyway, Isle of Avalon is track 4 on '2 A.M, it's Mission Time' and we chose it as our single submission because it represents the themes of the album better than any other individual track. Our theme was Glastonbury Tor and the surrounding area, with its rich history and spiritual connections, and the worlds most beloved music festival on its doorstep, it seemed a fitting place to theme an album on.

While staying at the base of the Tor in an AirB&B, was when I (Andy) had seen the post by Lights&Lines about the 'Album in a Month' Challenge. I took lots of video footage while there, we were at a Medieval festival at Glastonbury Abbey, and I refrained from posting it so that it could be used for the artwork and visual theme of our album. The cover is from the sunrise mission I went on (it wasn't at 2AM though). 

It's going to be a busy old July on the Cosmic Bos front, we have a blockage in the pipeline and music is busting to get out and into your earholes. 

We will podcast this month, it won't be Making of an Album Episode 4, we have currently shelved that while we refocus. We have been discussing shifting the MoaA thing to being about the album we just made in a month, we have plenty of footage and a diary of events so will easily be able to get a solid 'Recording an Album' episode. But that won't be till August at the earliest, until then, July will be filled with 'Catch a Clue' single release, some 'Live' Streaming, and TikTok shenanigans in the form of our new 'Filter Songs' series. Hopefully some live gigs will materialise in the upcoming months too, we remain ever hopeful.

Peace and infinite love

The More You Learn, The Less You Know - Cosmic Bos Improv Squared (Official Music Video)

 So friends,

As promised, here is the video for 'The More You Learn, The Less You Know'.

From our podcast feed

To accompany our most recent podcast episode 'Making of an Album Episode 3: Alternative Writing Techniques' we decided to throw together a song using our new improv squared method of song construction.

The song we put together was this one, 'The More You Learn, The Less You Know'.

https://cosmicbos.libsyn.com - check out our podcast

Nick and Andy improvised a 3 minute dirty track, then they layered over the top of it with another improv. Then the track was bounced and Andy went away and wrote some lyrics to go with it (see below for full lyrics). The boys then recorded the vocals, Nick mixed and mastered the track, and Tada! full song made in a couple of sessions.

The video was done in a similar fashion, we had recorded ourselves making the song, so all we did was just overlay it all over itself, pretty weird but quite effective we thought.

As promised earlier, here are the full lyrics

THE MORE YOU LEARN, THE LESS YOU KNOW by Andy Jackson

From the pedestal, always poised to fall 
Dust off, trust cost cuts take it all
Down the drain, round the bend in a fuddle
Bruised and beaten and in need of a cuddle
Spell checking out the witch, stitch in time
On the line served straight up with a lime
Hit the cooks books for a fresher look
Let the knowledge marinade into every nook

Life sets the test, we have a go
The more you learn, the less you know
Since we exist, let’s try to grow
The more you learn, the less you know
It’s ups and downs, a wild show
The more you learn, the less you know
The more you learn, the less you know 

Nurse the purse string theory nothings happening
Waste resources reinforces this recycling 
No certainty on survival guaranteed 
Malnutrition breeds servants to the corporate greed

Life is the test, let’s have a go
The more you learn, the less you know
No one knows best, it’s afterglow 
The more you learn, the less you know
Through ups and downs we live the show
The more you learn, the less you know
The more you learn, the less you know

Stacking A grades while the memory fades
Got stats but the facts always misbehave
Plot points got this map in a muddle
So confused now I’m in need of a cuddle

We passed the test, we’re good to go
The more you learn, the less you know 
Place the bets, go with the flow
The more you learn, the less you know
Get Joel and Mike, call Tom and Crow
The more you riff , the less you groan 
Fight or flight, or toe to toe
The more you learn, the less you know
The more you learn, the less you know
The more you learn, the less you know

...

Here is the YouTube version for ya.

Coming up next we have a special side quest we have accepted for the month of May, and I (Andy) am going to keep a bit of a blog diary going with it. Check in soon for an update on that front.

Peace and infinite love
