Here's 3 filter songs for you all contained in a nice little blog shaped package
Cosmic Bos Filter Song #7 - Rat
This was a really fun one to make, the Rat filter is simple but very effective, it really makes you look rat like, but remember, it's only a filter, it doesn't actually turn you into a rat.
Cosmic Bos Filter Song #8 - Spiderface
This is one creepy filter, the thought of having a spider that size on my face is the stuff of nightmares, I am not scared of spiders, but my face is not a place for them to be doing exercise. Also, once the initial fear wore off, it just looked tasty and I wanted to eat it.
Cosmic Bos Filter Song #9 - Sparkling
Probably one of the originals, this filter feels like old school internet, but I must admit, it is fun to sparkle for a bit.
What a fun time we've had, check out TikTok and YouTube for more filter song fun
Here is the Summer of Bos July 2022 Cosmic Bos Music Podcast presentation, in full.
Lots of fun stuff to unpack for your summer Bos holiday. Our Judges Choice Award winning album '2 A.M, it's Mission Time' will be out on the 19th August.
Before that though, we have a new single coming 2nd August (maybe a day or two before) with a video, it's called 'Money Pwease' and is about spiritual con artists and how easy it is to scam the masses with flashes and platitudes.
You can hear a sneak peak of the opening track in this podcast presentation, the track is called 'Re:Mission' and is about the competition itself, and what it means to take on a challenge.
We are also scheduling up some live streaming events, so stay tuned for gigs you can go to without going anywhere.
And of course there is all our TikTok Filter song shenanigans which are taking place across the Summer of Bos.
Also in August, to coincide with our album release, we will put out the next part of the Making of an Album series, Episode 4 - Recording an Album, where we will breakdown how we made our album in a month submission. This will be followed by a special documentary film we have commissioned (as in, we are going to make it ourselves) in September and that will mark the end of the Summer of Bos.
So lots going on, lovely to see you, you are looking well, have you lost weight?
Peace and infinite love
Cosmic Bos
P.S - Here is the YouTube link if you prefer the Tube.
Thirdly - TikTok! Of course, everything is on TikTok now, including us. Please follow us there and comment and share, we love you. The link above is your TikTok one.
The cover for the single
You get a slightly different version of the video on the TikTok, we added some old filter action using the vast array of effects available on the TT.
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.
So good news, we (Cosmic Bos) won a Judges Choice award in the Album Writing Club challenge put on by Lights and Lines record label.
We are chuffed to bits, and it's been so enlightening to connect in with so many other fantastic musicians, and we hope to get to work with many of them in the future. Thanks so much Lights and Lines for putting the whole thing on.
Anyway, as we didn't pick up the top 'Record Contract' prize, we are left to our own devises to release this album we made in a month.
And as we were in the middle of doing our Making of an Album podcast special, we are going to return to it, using this new album we done as the subject of the final parts of it.
So in August we are going to release the album '2 A.M, it's Mission Time' in full, on bandcamp and Spotify and youtube and everywhere else. With Episode 4 of Making of an Album being based around the diary I (Andy) kept during the month of May. In September we will aim for Episode 5 of MoaA to be the one about releasing an album, but that's ages away so we won't worry about that too much.
Here is the video we made for Isle of Avalon, the song we submitted to the singles playlist, a little taster of our album.
Thanks for all the support, we truly appreciate it
Andy from Cosmic Bos here, introducing the first 3 entries in our brand new musical series Filter Songs
Filter Song #1 - Krissed
This filter is quite a new one and something to do with some Celebrity who I am guessing is called Krissy or something like that, and she goes round and Krisses people and leaves them Krissed. Fun stuff indeed, looks more like a ventriloquist puppet rather then a person but so be it.
Filter Song #2 - Unhappy
Something of a popular filter this one, makes your face all big and your mouth unable to turn upwards and look happy. Again, fun stuff indeed. Forced to be unhappy!
Filter Song #3 - Yennifer Eyes
This filter turns your eyes purple. I am guessing that this is based on the gorgeous Yennifer from The Witcher series on Netflix, as she has such coloured eyes, but unfortunately for me, the filter doesn't make me look anything like Yennifer, except in the eye colour department.
So there you have the first 3 of these, we have recorded quite a few already so more to come in the near future. Have a wonderful day you beautiful human being.
Check out our podcast if you have the time and fancy some fun musical based shenanigans.
Currently showing our latest music video 'Isle of Avalon' from our Album Writing Club submission.
Direct from our podcast feed no less, it can also be found on all good social media outlets, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/c/CosmicBos
Big Congratulations to MikeyJ for winning the public vote with 'My Little Dragon Girl' - wonderful song indeed. Take a listen.
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.

Thanks for being here now, you have made my day by reading these words, and in exchange I grant you a magical power boost of luck and wisdom, go out and do good.
