First part of 2021 done, only 11 more segments till the new year, oh what fun it is to be alive in these times of time. So with further medication, I present to you 'Aim' by Cosmic Bos, ta dah!
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
Here is the youtube version should the above podcast version be being a biscuit (like podcasts can be)
Our new single 'Aim' is coming on the 1st Feb. We are super excited to share this with you all, it is probably the best single we have ever released as Cosmic Bos and the vocal work by Anya Louisa is outstanding.
Here's a sneaky peeky
The video is a homage to computer games, as you can tell from this teaser.
The single will be available on all good streaming sites on the 1st Feb, the cover looks like this, so you can't miss it, please save it and share it, love it and caress it, nibble at it's tender bits and share it with all you socially distance come in contact with.
The album from which this delicious single is taken (Cosmic Bos Improv-revisation Ep.17: Magic Eye Can Believe In) features the amazing musical talents of Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird, and will be available soon. It's 12 tracks of improv-revised loveliness that can hopefully help you through these tough confusing times.
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.
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!
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)
'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?
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.
New single 'Waiting' coming tomorrow, or ages ago depending on when you are reading this.
Anyway, before that, here's the video of Andy doing instagram livestream stuff for the first time, probably not the last time, but who knows, only time and this blog probably.
Did you enjoy that? Did you even watch it? Probably not, but thanks for visiting anyway, it was lovely to see you, please take a complimentary electronic muffin on your way out, it is gluten free I promise.
2020 done and dusted for prints, there were many, many prints, all over the place, it took a while to dust for them all, and this metaphor has run it's course, so on with the blog.

So now we look forward, with our eyes, to a brand new year, there is still a funky stench in the air left over from last year, it clearly hasn't cleared yet, so let's keep protecting ourselves. We here at Cosmic Bos are not slowing down though, oh no, we are straight onto Season 3, that's right, we have commissioned ourselves for another season, we decided it was something we would like to do, so we are doing it. The first episode from our third season will be along with you on the 1st of Feb, and the Bos boys are joined by Anya Louisa and Ben Bluebird. 2 video's are currently in the developmental phase, and the album itself is shaping up very nicely, very excited to unveil our 3rd step in the eventual domination of the music industry plan that we have been making up as we go along.
Happy New Year
Album on Spotify, along with all the albums from which the best was plucked (chicken style)
Thanks for being awesome, we love you very much and want you to be happy when you want to be.
