Live Forever by Oasis - CB/AC - Cosmic Bos Acoustic Covers #1

So friends,

Nick and Andy have been tinkering around with some cover songs lately, keeps the skills up and reminds them how awesome other writers are, plus just good practice in general for anyone that wants to advance in the field of music.

These chaps want that, the advancing thing, they want it and may I even say, deserve it at this point. 

So here is Cosmic Bos Acoustic Covers #1 

Live Forever by Oasis

Did you enjoy that?

If so then you may be interested in other things that these fun loving fellas get up to, which is all music based, but also video and podcasting and top secret missions that can not be discussed here in open blogs where anyone (and I mean, anyone!) could be reading...who am I kidding? At this point it is barely being seen by human eyes, a handful at best, the rest of the views are probably robots scanning the text with their cold dead robot eyes looking for clues as to how humanity managed to so royally screw everything up. 

So yeah, it's all here in this handy podcast link, you should be able to find everything you are looking for here. https://cosmicbos.libsyn.com

Or here's an embed of Cosmic Bos's most recent video effort 'Aim' ft. Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird

It's getting a bit cold in here now so I'm going to power down and put myself on charge

Bleep Bloop

Cosmic Bos Automated Robot Shutting down...

Cosmic Bos all over your year (with fresh improv and covers galore)

 So friends,

Rubber gloves are off, it's knuckling down time, time to business like adults, no more playing in the sand pits of despair, no more swinging on the swing of moods, let's year the hell out of this thing, yeah!

Already we are in the second month of 2021, and it's been pretty much a condensed version of 2020, oh boy, just what we always wanted, more pandemic-ammonium, yum yum, that's a medicine I can happily take without a spoonful of sugar.

It's like we are all waiting for something...

Thanks Anya for acting and singing there, amazing performance. Sorry we kept you waiting so long.

You see, we recorded the album that is Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation Ep.17: Magic Eye Can Believe In all the way back on the 25th of July 2020, with the 3 Bos boys (Macey, Nick and Andy) and Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird. It was originally slated to be the penultimate episode of Season 2 (2020), but due to unforeseen circumstances it was pushed back to being the first episode of Season 3. On the very next day (26/7/2020) we recorded another record (Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation Ep.18: Virtual Normality) with Anya and Ben again. This was originally to be the very last episode of Season 2 (2020) but due to the aforementioned unforeseen circumstances it has now been relocated to the second episode of Season 3 (2021).

Best laid plans and all that, you just never know quite how things will go, so, you know you'll never really know, you know!

Sometimes you don't always get what you Aim for. Take it away Anya

Thanks again Anya, a truly awesome single there, something worth sharing with everyone you ever meet. It is available on all platforms, except train platforms as there is no direct video or musical feature to the rail industry.

If you are in need of a link to the full Anya & Ben episode, find it just below these very words, in embedded player form.

The year is set to continue, I don't think time is going anywhere other than forwards at the same speed it's been travelling for a while now. We here at Cosmic Bos have been running some complex tests, tuning some instruments, tweaking some knobs (completely un-music related activity) and have calibrated our equipment to be able to bring you Cosmic Bos Acoustic Covers (CB/AC), starting off proceedings with a little song called Live Forever by Oasis

Do you know what I mean?

If you do then please email me at cosmicbos@gmail.com and tell me what I mean.

Thanks for your precious time,

Peace and infinite love

Cosmic Bos Improv-revisation Ep.17: Magic Eye Can Believe In (ft. Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird)

Hello lovely you,

Gosh you are amazing, how do you do it so effortlessly? I want to know your secrets, but not now, this is neither the time nor place for such wisdom, this is a blog about a podcast, the first Cosmic Bos improv revised album of 2021, featuring the outstandingly talented Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird, without further wasting of your time with meaningless words, I present to you Cosmic Bos Improv-revisation Ep.17: Magic Eye Can Believe In (you already knew the title, it says it at the top, don't go acting like it was a revelation of any kind)

The album on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/0ex2KrTXKqQ4W3PcprmO5r?si=Ei1QFsnxQcuNLm-qM2vu6w

Season 3 starts with a magic trick, watch as we improvise and then revise an entire album from one days jamming session. It's the same trick we have now pulled 17 times, but it's a good trick and it has a vastly different outcome every time, so, ta dah! 

Anya Louisa brings a whole new dimension to the Cosmic Bos set up, and Ben Bluebird spices up the music and vocal atmosphere just lovelily, big thanks to them both.

We tackle the big questions on everyones minds, like, is magic real? do Magicians need dating apps specially designed for their illusionist needs? How should you rub your wicker bells so as not to get blisters on your fingers? All these questions and more won't be answered in this podcast, but they might get discussed, maybe. At least you have 12 improv songs with beautiful vocals by Anya to enjoy.

Here are the two video's that accompany the episode as well, should you wish to view them, once you've finished listening to the episode of course :)

 Hello friends,

Wow! What do you recon? Any good?

Nick Jackson and myself (Andy Jackson) worked really hard on this video, put our socially distanced backs into it we did, and we are pretty chuffed with the results.

Aim is the second single from 

Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation 

Ep.17: Magic Eye Can Believe In

Featuring the amazing talents of Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird (both stars of the above video)

We shot the video under strict Covid safe conditions, using just a green screen and an iPhone, we managed to capture all the complex action we needed to construct our pixellated dream music video. Anya and Ben both gave outstanding performances, and the Cosmic Bos chaps did their best (good work chaps).

The single is available on Spotify, and the album too (from Feb 1st)

Thanks for being amazing, we love you very much

Cosmic Bos does some acoustic covers of Elbow (One Day Like This & My Sad Captains)

 Hello lovely friends,

How's it going? No need to answer, I can't hear you anyway.

So with everyone on lockdown in the UK, but me still having a key worker role, I have had little recourse but to get my gigging experiences at home in front of a camera so that no corona virus can be passed around unsuspectedly (like drugs used to at gigs, ahh the good old days). It's alright, not the same in any way whatsoever, but, you know, you make do with what you got.

Here is my cover of One Day Like This by Elbow

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=466120024567165

And here is my cover of My Sad Captains...also by Elbow

I quite like Elbow, they are alright in my books. Who am I kidding? I fweaking LOVE Elbow, they are one of my favourite bands ever ever. Guy Garvey is my favourite lyricist working today, and whenever a new record drops by Elbow I am there day one to hear it. So yeah, great band, great songs, mediocre acoustic covers by me. Hooray!

Have a lovely next twenty minutes,

Peace and infinite love

Waiting (ft. Anya Louisa) - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video)

 So friends,

2021 has begun and we here at Cosmic Bos don't want to keep you waiting around for fresh new music from our musical improv experiment, so we present to you 'Waiting' from the upcoming album Cosmic Bos Improv-Revisation Ep.17: Magic Eye Can Believe In, which features the amazing Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird.

This song was improvised, and then revised. For the video we bounced around a few ideas, mainly just joking around trying to think of funny scenarios where waiting was involved, before settling on the old 'Zoom' call not working trick. This marks the first collaboration with Anya Louisa and she makes quite an impact that's for sure. 

Originally we had planned for ep17 to be part of the end of season 2, but with life happening and stuff we decided to push it back, to allow us the time we needed to make it something special. Anya and Ben are both amazing and are both present for the following episode as well (err...ep18, yep, 18 comes after 17, well done me)

Spotify Podcast link

'Waiting' is your first taste of Season 3 of our podcast, the episode from which it has been taken is shaping up very nicely and will be with you in full on the 1st Feb. We have another single and video planned (well, filmed, just not edited yet) for a song called 'Aim'. 

So with lockdowns a plenty, it looks like we are going to be waiting around a whole bunch, might as well spend our time listening to podcasts, improv music and comedy ones, from the UK, hosted by two monkeys...know of any such thing?

Here is our podcast direct link - Podcast link

You can find our show on most reputable podcast sites, and it is also featured on a couple of the really scary ones too, the podcast sites where only the bravest dare listen to streaming audio.

2021 has begun, and we are already just waiting around, but it's got potential to be an exciting and dare I say it, universe changing year, the third season of our show that we just make ourselves unfunded (hint, hint, we want funding) is getting off to a great start, and apart from the apocalypse of society and the general collapsing of reality we here at Cosmic Bos are excited for what is to come. Hooray!

Here is the youtube link should you wish to watch it on that platform

Thanks for your time, hope you liked the video, and check back soon for more improv music and comedy based shenanigans.

Peace and infinite love

Cosmic Bos
