Cosmic Bos Podcast ft. David Battenberg Cake

Hello friends,

We are getting close to the end of Feb and the next hashtag for the Monthly Music Challenge, get your #Escape songs in before 3rd March for a chance to be played on this very podcast.

You can also submit #Freedom songs,

and #StandOut tracks too, there is another hashtag for Feb coming today.

Full video Stand Out on YouTube

@CosmicBos song 'Stand Out' (imaginatively titled, but when you hear it you will see why it

couldn't have been anything else) is the first of two made for the challenge. Andy didn't need to make two songs, he just chose to.

The sister song 'Out Standing' coming to the podcast tomorrow in a similar fashion to this one.

But What Does Freedom Mean? By @CosmicBos Made for the @musicweeklies #freedom challenge

I went with a serious tone this time, choosing to ponder the question

what does freedom mean?

Big shout outs to the legends Russell Brand and Duncan Truffles for being amazing question askers and journeyers through the mind, love you both infinitely

Hello friends,

So the Monthly Music Challenge is well on it's way now, into the second hashtag (#Escape if you weren't aware), and the challenge is coming to a close for the music makers of the Music Weeklies, there has been some excellent submissions to the MMC from that bunch (looking at you Trench Gun), and all you other music makers that need a bit more time, you still have until the 3rd March to submit your songs to the podcast.

As for this song, the one that is this little bitesize podcast, Nick and I (Andy) worked out some guitar at the weekend, I then recorded a musical outline (using just 3 guitars), put some drum loops in, wrote the lyric, sung the lyric, released the video to the music weeklies world.

The song is about being ready to escape when things go bad, and getting out together, not leaving anyone behind. For all the crazy in the world, it's not a problem if we can make good our escape.

Please like, share and subscribe

And send your Escape songs to us before the 3rd of March 2023.

Hello friends,

So here is Nude Beginnings - our submission to the Monthly Music Challenge for the #NewBeginnings

This is the first one of the year, and the first one of the whole thing, so we put effort into making what is hopefully a fun opening track to our eventual MMC1 full album.

Hear other musicians interpretations of this hashtag in the next full episode of MMC.

Hello,

Welcome to this quick little podcast containing Cosmic Bos's entry to the #industrial music challenge presented by Music Weeklies.

We Worked Hard for You by Cosmic Bos

This is my (Andy's) song about industrial action, going on strike, standing up for workers rights.

#Industrial marks the final hashtag for January and you can submit tracks made under this banner up until the 3rd Feb.

Next week will be Monthly Music Challenge 1.1 New Beginnings, and you can still submit your songs made around that banner until the 3rd Feb too (as well as Pixels and Geisha).

Please like, share and subscribe, and tell all your musical friends to listen and take part.

Peace and infinite love

The third hashtag for 2023 is #Geisha

You can now submit Geisha inspired songs to the Monthly Music Challenge for possible inclusion in the first proper episode of MMC

Submissions for MMC 1.1 New Beginnings open until the 3rd Feb 2023, so get a move on music makers.

This song is Cosmic Bos' submission to the Geisha challenge, not our usual style for sure, we went with a remix angle rather then an imitation one, not sure we could learn the intricacies of traditional Japanese music in a few days, so instead we added beats and bass, modern it up a bit.

Hello friends,

As Cosmic Bos are now running the Monthly Music Challenge, we are a little light on music videos to pepper up our podcast feed. So we will be adding our hashtag songs for the other weeks of the Music Weeklies challenge into our podcast feed, to use the bandwidth.

This first month of the Monthly Music Challenge is focused on the hashtag New Beginnings - and the entries have been coming in, we are really excited to put together the first proper episode of the Monthly Music Challenge, and we are equally excited to see where it goes, come on the journey with us fellow music makers, come make an album across the year.

Email your mp3's to [email protected] around the theme New Beginnings by the 3rd of Feb (which will be the date of the next hashtag). You can also send us now songs written around the 2nd hashtag of month 1 #Pixels.

We are still unsure of how this is going to play out, but we are well aware of several musicians that took part in the Pixels hashtag for music weeklies that didn't take part in the New Beginnings one, and we would really like to spin your tracks in this first month episode.

Anyway, thanks for reading all this, this actual podcast is just the demo song that I (Andy) put together for the Pixels hashtag. It was spun on New Music Saturday and got a rave review from the chaps there. What do you recon, any good?

Here is the link to the video version on youtube

A week into the Monthly Music Challenge and the @musicweeklies chaps have closed the door on submissions and opened up the next hashtag, so @CosmicBos present to you their song 'Nude Beginnings' in its raw week old form.

We will now begin the tweaking process, tidy this mess up, get some sweet harmonies in there, maybe a guitar or two more, and I've been eyeing up the bagpipes for a track too (not that I can play them, or have any).

You have until the 3rd of Feb to send us your #NewBeginnings track for inclusion in the Monthly round up (Coming shortly after the 3rd Feb - once we've recorded the thing)

The new hashtag is now open for submission too, you have a week to do it for the Music Weeklies challenge, and three weeks to do it for the Monthly Challenge. Hopefully that makes sense, we are making this up as we go along pretty much.

Submit songs to [email protected]

Welcome to the Monthly Music Challenge with @CosmicBos podcast

This is the introduction episode, laying out how it's going to go down for the rest of the year.

Let Nick and Andy (Cosmic Bos) be your guides through the wonderful world of music creation, working with the sublime musicians of Music Weeklies @MusicWeeklies CB will be making a new song every week in line with their rules, but on the side CB will be offering up the chance for music made within the month (leaning heavily on the first hashtag of each month) to be played on this podcast, and get comments from Nick and Andy.

Podcast play (PP) will not be reserved exclusively for the first hashtag (which btw is #NewBeginnings), and any of Music Weeklies hashtags generated in the given month are viable for PP, please send your mp3's (not WAVs, our inbox will die) to [email protected] with the hashtag in the subject line, and a bit of info about yourself so we can give you the promo in the podcast that you deserve.

We won't be playing any material that doesn't meet the Music Weeklies guidelines or our Monthly Music Challenge ones either, to get airplay and PP for such songs you should go check out the New Music Saturdays guys (they have a podcast of their show too, check it out).

So, get to work lovely musicians, songwriters, audio creatives

You have until the 3rd of Feb (2023) to submit for the January hashtags, of which the first one (and the one you can have a month to work on) is #NewBeginnings

Check back on Twitter on the 13th, 20th and 27th of Jan to find out the other three hashtags that we will accept PP on.

This should be fun, we can't wait to hear from you

Any questions please come find us on Twitter @CosmicBos where we will attempt to answer them (SPOILER ALERT! we might not be able to)

Peace and infinite love
