Hello Horsefans,

I am pleased to present to you the full 45 minutes of my Bojack Horseman musical mash-up, it's all here, from Bojack fighting over muffins to Todd flying around on his drone throne (You can't call it a drone if you're riding on it!), with the last 10 minutes of it being harrowing and existential, just like the show itself so often is. {SPOILER WARNINGS for Season 4 in Half a Mind (mainly)}

So here we go...

Full track listing:
1. Blame it on the Horseman (Season 1)
2. Hollywoo Stars & Celebrities, What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let's Find Out! (Season 2)
3. Hooray! (Seasons 1 & 2)
4. A Mr. Peanutbutter Romp (Seasons 1, 2 & 3)
5. Smooches (Season 4)
6. Diane Nguyen's Hot Topic no.1: Hanky Panky (Season 2)
7. Vincent Adultman Did a Business (Season 1)
8. Hooray! 2: Smoodies (Seasons 1 & 4)
9. Half a Mind (Season 4)
10. Bojacked the Wrong Horse, Man (Seasons 3 & 4)
11. Hooray! 3: Outro (Season 1)

Music made using MusicMakerJam app on the iPhone, it was all made sitting on the beach contemplating Bojack Horseman season 4, and started as just some pieces of music.
Bojack Horseman clips taken from Bojack Horseman (2014-present), Netflix. I do not own the rights to any of the clips and have made this as a fan tribute to the best show on Netflix.

Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris,  Alison Brie, Paul F Tompkins, Aaron Paul, Wendie Malick, Kristen Schaal, Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Lisa Hanawalt and the whole Bojack Horseman team, you guys are amazing, please keep doing the good horse work, thanks. And Netflix, you guys rule, keep funding the good work.

Bojack Horseman has been my favourite Netflix show for several years now, and since I don't watch normal television (I truly can't stand the adverts, they make my brain sick) and my media consumption consists primarily of Netflix with a side order of YouTube, Bojack Horseman is my favourite show period. I love other Netflix shows too, big shout outs to Master of None, Black Mirror, Lovesick, Dirk Gently, The Good Place and many others (which I can't be bothered to check right now) but it's that depressed Horse Man that inspired me to make a tribute.

I am a serious musician (Am I? Really? Sure about that!) and have been trying to get my music heard by peoples of the world for the last 20 years, back in the 90's I was a teenager in literal garage bands making crappy angsty rock, I made scratchy demo's of songs on a little tape recorder. I had a song called 'Transvestite Chickens World Takeover Bid', it was about some chickens on a farm, in suspenders, stealing nuclear weapons and holding the world to ransom. 20 years later, the most viewed musical work I have ever done has Chickens being rescued from a farm being run by other Chickens. Overthinking things much?

The Bojack songary here endeth. Thank you for your time, now onto pastures new, coming up next: something else.

Peace and infinite love

Half a Mind (Beatrice Horseman musical tribute) by Cosmic Bos SEASON 4 SPOILERS!

So friends,

Beatrice Horseman (Sugarman) was the main focus of the best episode of the best season of the best show on Netflix - Bojack Horseman Season 4 Episode 11: 'Time's Arrow' written by Kate Purdy, directed by Aaron Long.

If you haven't seen it, then you should go see it, in order, as context is part of what makes it such a stunning half hour of television.

Here is my musical tribute to this wonderful episode, Half a Mind by Cosmic Bos. SPOILER WARNING! (I put the final scene from the episode in the song, so if you haven't seen it, it kinda spoils it, you have been warned)



I have made a few of these musical tributes now to Bojack Horseman, the show is so rich in funny, thoughtful, insightful clips that it has been very easy. When I set out to make 'Half a Mind' I felt a sense of importance to get it right, as 'Time's Arrow' is such a masterpiece it needs to be celebrated and held up as such. While other shows give us the same stuff time and again, Bojack Horseman bothers to go deep, and Katy Purdy has written many of the best episodes.

Beatrice Horseman suffers from Dementia, something that is all too common in this world of ours, and by spending just half an hour in her mind we get a slither of understanding, a glimpse at a life that was both full of promise and doomed from the very start. It is heartbreaking, and wise, and perfectly explains why she treated Bojack the way she did, it doesn't excuse her behaviour, but it does explain it. Wendie Malick gives such a nuanced performance that she deserves awards. Sadly I don't think this episode has been nominated for anything, which is a mistake.

I want more people to watch it, to experience it's utter brilliance, I am giving 'Times' Arrow' my Golden Horseshoe award for best TV of 2017. Hooray! At least it won something.

So yeah, that's it.

Peace and infinite hugs,
Cosmic Bos

Hooray! 2: Smoodies (Bojack Horseman musical remix) by Cosmic Bos

Happy new sun cycle,

tis 2018 at last, Hooray! We made it.

Pat yourself on the back (if you have trouble reaching your back use a magazine or newspaper to do the actual patting).

So the first Cosmic Bos release of '18 is another Bojack Horseman musical remix, and it's about Todd Chavez because he is awesome and needs to have more songs with him in. This is kind of like a sequel song to Hooray! (which you can find on this blog way back in the heady past of 2017).

So Todd Chavez (Aaron Paul), now he is amazing, but you probably already knew that. And Paul F. Tompkins, (Mr. Peanutbutter) is also fantastic. Bojack Horseman has an amazing cast, one of the best currently voicing animation. If you couldn't tell, I'm quite a big fan.

Not much else to say here, come back soon however as there is plenty more stuff on the Bos plate to be served up (please provide your own alcohol)

Peace and infinite Hoorays,

Cosmic Bos
