info_outline MMC 2.5 - Funk Drunk LoveMonthly Music Challenge with Cosmic Bos
So, this episode was meant to be out back on the 1st of June, but Nick and Andy from Cosmic Bos went AWOL so it was left up to me, Big Mic! to pull it all together so that you wonderful listeners and musician subs could hear it. Oh, it's Big Mic by the way, I've had to step in and start running the MMC Challenger, I have enlisted David Battenberg Cake and the Sexy German to go and press the buttons (not RUB the buttons as SG seems prone to doing) so that this episode made it off of the interdimensional Rocket Submarine Train and into your podcast feed. This is Episode 2.5 - Funk Drunk Love,...

Hello dear friend, welcome to the Monthly Music Challenge podcast with your hosts Cosmic Bos. This episode is MMC 2.4 - Animals For the fourth theme of the second year of the monthly music challenge, it felt only natural to come back down from Space (MMC 2.3 - Intergalactic) and go and spend some time with nature, chat to the birds for a bit, play 'fetch the random throwable object' with a dog, listen to the conforting ASMR sounds of a cat purring on your lap, and have the soothing tones of David Battenberg cake share the majestic wonders of the animal kingdom with you. So here it is, the MMC...
info_outline MMC 2.3 - Intergalactic EXTRAMonthly Music Challenge with Cosmic Bos
Welcome to the Extra part of the Monthly Music Challenge 2.3 Intergalactic episode. Join Andy and Nick (Cosmic Bos) as they make ammends for a rather massive faux par on their part, missing off a song from the list. So firstly, a huge Sorry to Taylor Lidstone, Peoples Choice Award Winning artist and utter legend, Taylor, your Intergalactic song is amazeballs! We didn't miss it off of the list because it didn't fit the theme, we missed it off because Big Mic has been moving all the emails about from 6 years in the future. Why he was ever given time manipulation powers will never make sense....

info_outlineHello dear listener,
Welcome to the Monthly Music Challenge podcast with your hosts Cosmic Bos, they are Nick and Andy Jackson, brothers from the UK that make lots of music, and host this music challenge, monthly, in podcast form.
This is the introduction episode to the second year of the Monthly Music Challenge.
What is the Monthly Music Challenge?
Good question, it is a podcast, audioshow, that comes out monthly, and contains music submitted around a theme each month. We did it all last year, and had 10 themes that made up MMC 1.
Cosmic Bos (your show hosts) put their efforts out as a CD under Monochrome Motif records, which you can purchase from bandcamp here
https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/mmc-1-2023-album
How do I get involved?
If you are a musician, and you would like to submit music to the Monthly Music Challenge podcast, please send mp3's with a bio (for first timers) and a little write up about your track to [email protected]
We listen to all submissions and craft a unique show out of them, the peeps of the MMC are the cream of the indie music scene, and you can be a part of it too.
What is the theme for Jan 2024?
Well, the theme for Jan 2024 is - First Impressions
You have till the 2nd of Feb to get your 'First Impressions' songs in.
Is there a way to submit songs from previous themes of the MMC?
Funny you should ask, we had a segment last year we called 'Late Subs' to accomodate peeps that missed the deadline, and we will probably bring that back for this season of podcasting.
So if you would like to make a song or piece of music about any of the themes from MMC1 then please do, and submit them in mp3 form to [email protected]
MMC1 Themes for late subs are:
New Beginnings, Escape, Ignorance, Winning, Razzmajazz, Artificial Intelligence, Mother Earth, Dreams, Super Spectacular & Finale
So for this intro episode we didn't really get any submissions, we had suggested that if peeps were up for it they could make a track to go with the theme 'Intro'. Only one person took up the challenge, the one and only Andrew Hartshorn. Who also put out an MMC 1 album from his efforts on the MMC in 2023. Go buy a copy on bandcamp, it's awesome sauce and well worth your eartime.
Also, we hastily put our 'Intro' song together, and are getting it to pull double duties for now, as the podcast intro AND our MMC 2 intro. Fun times.
Please like, share, comment and subscribe to Cosmic Bos
Now get to work, you've got music to make
Peace and infinite cake
Cosmic Bos (one 'S')
