    MMC 2.5 - Funk Drunk Love
    Jun 22 2024

    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, co-curated with the one and only Uncle Funkbeard (go follow the majestic Funkle on X, and check out the Only The Host YouTube Channel to see all of the funky goings on) and it features 14 of the funkiest, drunkiest and loveiest songs on the whole of the interweb, created by a handful of the greatest indie musicians working today.

    The opening song is by Cosmic Bos themselves, they managed to finish up their song before they dissapeared from the MMC Challenger, the song is called 'Drunk on Your Love' and can be purchased from bandcamp here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/track/drunk-on-your-love-feel-that-funky-heart-beating please consider giving them some money, that might actually get them back from wherever it is that they have gone AWOL to.

    They also made a nice little video to go with it, which you can watch and comment on here - https://youtu.be/wQnXo4jZdOI?si=HgQRFXqoj42G7hEj

    I, Big Mic, have done all that I can to try and keep the format the same as what the Bos boys would do, not sure why I bothered, I could have done whatever I like because I'm Big Mic! But for the sake of all you listeners and submitters I've tried to keep it as close to the same as possible.

    It wasn't easy, have you ever tried to control a Cake and a sexy German while running a human circus in an engine room with a load of Midgets in sexy costumes while having to put up with Professor Briiiiiiiiiiian Cox and a future version of yourself that controls the universe in the future? Didn't think so.

    Format the same as usual, so we had the Peoples Choice Award winners from the previous episode, 2.4 Animals, and there were 3 of them! So big shout out to Natalie Williams Calhoun (NWC), Tonal Drift (TD) and A Sea Warren (Al or Owl), you all won a People Choice Award for your excellent Animals based songs, really good they were.

    You can vote in the Peoples Choice Award for this episode right here on this link (Insert link here)

    As we aren't sure where Nick and Andy are, I, Big Mic, decided we would give you all a bit longer to complete the next challenge, so you have till the 30th August to get your 2.6 songs into the Bos boys. Send your mp3's and a little Bio and write up to cosmicbos@gmail.com to be included in the next episode. The theme is Plantlife, 2.6 - Plantlife. It's a bit like parklife by Bluh but more Plant based. So, yeah get on with it!

    Once again, big shout out to Uncle Funkbeard for all he did for this episode, utter legend!

    Here is the list of songs that go with this episode, in my, Big Mic's Big Number Order, so you can't cheat and skip through to a particular song, you have to listen to the whole thing!

    • 1. Cosmic Bos - Drunk On Your Love (Feel That Funky Heart Beating)
    • 2. Uncle Funkbeard - FOOL
    • 3. A Sea Warren - Funk Drunk Love
    • 4. Colin Pimlott - Funky Drunk Kind of Love
    • 5. TruckDog & the Go People - Fulfill the Need
    • 6. Andrew Hartshorn - Who Brings the Funk to Your Life
    • 7. Taylor Lidstone - Barsnacks
    • 8. John Serrano and James Slattery - Adrenaline Fire
    • 9. Mario Marino - Plumage
    • 10. Voltage Poetry Project - When the Wine Pours
    • 11. Black Water Canyon - Whiskey Swamp
    • 12. Chemical Shift - Awaken
    • 13. Notehead - Funky Butt Loving
    • 14. Hellwaddler - PFunky

    There you go, hopefully it's as good as the show normally is, we did our best without the Bos chaps, please go vote in the Peoples Choice Award, and if you are a musician that wants to submit to the MMC 2.6 - Plantlife challenge, you have till the 30th August 2024 to get your songs in.

    I am the one and only Big Mic from now, there is obviously Big Mic from the future who controls the universe, he's a lovely chap.

    Enjoy the episode and stay awesome sauce

    MMC 2.3 - Intergalactic EXTRA
    Apr 13 2024

    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.

    Please enjoy this extra add on part of Monthly Music Challenge 2.3 Intergalactic episode, containing the amazing Taylor Lidstone song 'Don't Go Without Me', as well as the Late Sub song 'Interstella' by Smokin' Cola, and a respin of Cosmic Bos Space Babies 2 (Intergalactic Super Fantastic Imagination Tactic)

    Extra Episode tracklist:

    • 1. Taylor Lidstone - Don't Go Without Me
    • 2. Smokin' Cola - Interstella
    • 3. Cosmic Bos - Space Babies 2

    Vote for your favourite Intergalactic track in the peoples choice poll here Peoples Choice Poll MMC 2.3 Intergalactic

    We loves you

    Cosmic Bos

    P.S - The theme for MMC 2.4 is Animals, and you have until the 3rd May 2024 to get your songs into us for inclusion, or maybe we will miss it and have to do another extra podcast next month, who knows? Big Mic does but he isn't saying.
