MMC 2.4 - Animals

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 Challenger (our Rocket, Submarine, Train that crosses the creative multiverse) has collected up all the animals it could find for inspiration for the musical wonder that is the Monthly Music Challenge.

Your hosts are Nick and Andy Jackson, brothers from the UK that form up the musical outfit known as Cosmic Bos (one S on Bos - we are economical with our 'S's), and they are here to take you on the musical safari that awaits your baited earholes. Join David Battenberg cake, Big Mic, the Sexy German, Sir Patrick McKellen, Proffessor Briiiiiiiiiian Cox, Little Nick and a whole bunch of other new characters/impressions suggested by the wonderful musicians of the MMC.

David Battenberg cake and his singing cake friends (Taylor Swiss roll, Breddie Mercury, David Bowieberg, Elvis Pretzel, FABBA, Cake Bush, Elton Scone, Dave Grohlberg, Fleetwood Macaroon, Morrisseed, Florence Welsh cake (and the Vending Machine), Radiobread, Robert Swiss, Damon Albran muffin, John Lemon Meringne, Paul McCakeney, Ringdough Starr, George Harriscone, Eclairic Clapton, Michael FlapJackson and introducing Cannoli Minogue) are joined this month by the menagerie of fruit and veg animals, including Labranoodle, Brocacollie, Springaspaniel, Orangatangerine, Tomato Cats, BananaLlama, Figlet, Fruit Bats, Pearakeets and the PineOwlpple. The world of David Battenberg Cake just got a little brighter with all the majestic animals joining. Come join all the fun on TikTok.
