Re:Mission - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video)

 Hello friends,

So the album came out a week ago, have you had a listen?

Well, here's the video to go with the opening track Re:Mission, to hopefully entice you further in to the world of Bos. Direct Podcast Link

The opening track to Cosmic Bos 2 A.M, it's Mission Time

Written and recorded by Andy & Nick Jackson

Available to buy on bandcamp https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/2-a-m-its-mission-time

2 A.M, it's Mission Time was made as part of the Lights and Lines Album Writing Challenge from May 2022. Cosmic Bos submitted a 12 track album and were lucky enough to pick up a Judges Choice Award for their efforts.

The song that kicks the record off is Re:Mission, and it is about Cosmic Bos taking up the challenge, and pulling their socks up to get it done, Mission Time style.

Here are the lyrics :)

RE:MISSION - by Andy Jackson

We’ve got a world to save, it won’t save itself
It’s mission time, put down the wine
The only cause worth fighting for
Nature calls we can’t ignore
The ceilings glass but so’s the floor

Stop conserving superstitions
Evolution in remission, switch position
Mind expanding new decisions
Hope can soon be in remission, it will be okay

https://cosmicbos.libsyn.com

But I’m not promising anything

 
Economic crisis looming from tiktok booming
We stopped consuming
Constant resourcing from dwindling sources 
Held together with glue from horses

Stop conserving superstitions
Evolution in remission, quick petition
Mind expanding fresh decisions
Gia could soon be in remission, she will be okay
But for us, it’s too soon to tell

We can choose between help or oh well
The garden of Eden or the gates of Hell
The myth is we’re powerless and under their spell
But truth be told, we are bold, out of our shell

Stop preserving superstitions 
Evolution in remission, no commission 
Mind expansive clear decisions 
Love could well be in remission, new nutrition 
Stop in-sighting inquisitions
Growth through learning, is our mission, best position
Mind expanding not demanding
Get your hand in, reply mission, oh yes we're in

...

Quite a fun one. Here's the Bandcamp link again in case you missed it further up.

Cosmic Bos Music Podcast presents - Making of an Album Episode 4: Making an Album in a Month (Part 1of2)

 Oh friends,

In classic Bos style - I present to you the next instalment in the Making of an Album Special Presentation - Episode 4: Making an Album in a Month (Part 1) direct to you from our podcast feed.

Or the YouTube link if you prefer

Welcome to the 4th instalment in our special presentation 'Making of an Album', where Andy and Nick break down the details on music making in the 2020's, and how easy it is to do now. So far they have covered writing, and now they are going to skip over all the technical stuff and just make an album in a month for you over the next two episodes of this special presentation. There is good reason for this, Nick and Andy are creative musicians that know how to use recording equipment, they are not qualified to teach anyone anything about these things, so rather then blag it, they have focused on the process of making an album as an experience rather then the finer details of recording.

Cosmic Bos Making of an Album Episode 4: Making an Album in a Month (Part 1)

For the month of May 2022 Cosmic Bos took on the 'Album in a Month' challenge put on by Lights and Lines Independent record label, and subsequently produced a 12 track album called '2 A.M, it's Mission Time', which is out now

https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/2-a-m-its-mission-time

Wisely, throughout the album in a month process, Andy kept a diary of what was going on, and the Brothers filmed all of the recording session so that ample video footage of the album creation existed. You can see some of this already in the video's we put out for 'Isle of Avalon', 'Money Pwease' and 'Whatever You Say It Is, It Isn't'.

This podcast represents the first half of both the album, and the diary kept for the month, and takes you through the first half of what we did. There will be an accompanying blog to this episode which will have more waffle about it should you wish to read more.

Part 2 coming next month.

Songs in this episode are :

1. Re:Mission
2. Catch a Clue
3. Bards for Hire
4. Isle of Avalon
5. Whatever You Say It Is, It Isn't
6. Patient Mystery

All songs copyright Cosmic Bos 2022

So as promised, this blog contains the links mentioned in the episode, this is that blog, the one you are reading right this second right here right now I tell you what!

Here is F'in Lucky C' by Oxynucid & Vocalizer - still up on youtube even given its umm, questionable language. Not for the faint hearted.

As mentioned in the podcast, we wrote a song 'Step too Far' that is in the same ball park as this old Vocalizer song from back in the long long ago. We will get around to recording it at some point, but it is not priority on our list at the moment.

Also mentioned was my (Andy's) old band The Little Man, which is still out there in the internet, here is the Spotify link that was promised.

Next Month will be Episode 5, Part 2 of the Making an album in a month, but there will be plenty more Cosmic Bos shenanigans before that I can promise you.

Peace and infinite love

Cosmic Bos

You can find the album on bandcamp and other places, but bandcamp is good for us as artists because you can actually support us (unlike Spotify etc.)

Cosmic Bos - 2 A.M, it's Mission Time - OUT NOW! Come pick up your copy on bandcamp

 Hello friends,

The time has finally arrived, here is the album we made for the Lights and Lines Album in a Month competition - 2 A.M, it's Mission Time

Buy now on bandcamp. 

Containing the 4 singles 

Isle of Avalon - This was the song we submitted to the Singles playlist for public voting. It didn't win the vote but we are none the less proud of it. A deeply mature song from a couple of usual idiots.

Catch a Clue - Our first release once the results came in and we discovered we had picked up a Judges Choice Award. We had this one ready to go as soon as the results were in..

Money Pwease - the second official single (after Catch a Clue), this is my (Andy) personal favourite track on the album along with 'Quilt'. Based around spiritual scammers and the wonderful phrase 'Money Pweeeeeeeease' made famous by Jenny Slate on Parks and Recreation (Cosmic Bos LOVES Parks & Rec)

Whatever You Say It Is, It Isn't - the last single we put out, featuring the amazing talents of Mr. Joe Philogene. This song is a philosophical exploration of rightness, and how we don't have it.

We wrote the whole album in a month, including another song that didn't even make it to the final list (we didn't record the vocal so it never stood a chance). A special two part podcast detailing our process and exploring the 12 tracks of the album coming super soon (well, part 1 is...). We also won a Judges Choice Award for the album, big thanks to Lights and Lines for putting on such a wonderful competition.

The album can be found on Youtube music right here in a handy playlist

And if you are a Spotify user, it's there too

Have a wonderful day, and don't forget to buy our album, like, share and subscribe to all our stuff, forever and ever, until the internet dies and we are all forced to return to conventional ways of interacting, like actually seeing each other (shudder).

Peace and infinite love

Cosmic Bos

Cosmic Bos TikTok Filter Songs - #10 Slow Zoom, #11 What Cat Am I?, #12 Pretty Sparkles

 Hello friend,

Another sprinkling of TikTok Filter songs for you

Cosmic Bos Filter Song #10 - Slow Zoom

This one does exactly what it says on the tin, it slowly zooms into your eyes

Cosmic Bos Filter Song #11 - What Cat Am I?

This is quite a fun one, it decides which cat you are, and then turns you into said cat.

I enjoyed being a cat, but I don't feel like the right cat was assigned. I may do a sequel...

Cosmic Bos Filter Song #12 - Pretty Sparkles

Another one that does what it says, it sparkles, and it's quite pretty, unlike the idiot in the video

Thanks for all the love

have some back

Peace and Infinite love

Cosmic Bos 

P.S - Buy our new single from bandcamp, here's the video and link

Money Pwease - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video)

 New Blog, new single by Cosmic Bos,

Welcome to the blog about Cosmic Bos new single 'Money Pwease'

Here is the podcast version for you to click on, and maybe subscribe, maybe!

You can buy the single from bandcamp, it's a bit pricey, but well worth it as all the money goes to Cosmic Bos (and a bit to bandcamp probably).

cover for our new single

Andy and Nick ponder the big question on everyones mind, how do we get money? As musicians, it's a tough one indeed, no one wants to part their hard earned money for music anymore, it truly isn't like the good old days when people actually spent money on music. But it isn't only music that has suffered, all the art forms have really, and the door has been opened up for the demons to come and sell us on a great many dreams, salvations and freedoms that are just round this corner right here, but you can't go just yet, you have to give us the money pwease.null

The song title is the catchphrase of Mona-lisa from Parks and Recreation, one of the greatest shows ever made. It was one of the first songs written for the album in a month, and it was developed by smashing two ideas together, one being a song about Parks and Rec, the other being a song about scammers, thematically they merged pretty well we thought.

Here is the YouTube version

Full album coming 19th August, another single coming before that, and the Summer of Bos rolls onwards, with plenty more TikTok Filter Song shenanigans and some live streaming coming up.

Thanks for being awesome sauce

Peace and infinite love

Cosmic Bos
