Welcome to the Monthly Music Challenge podcast with Cosmic Bos, this is episode 2.6 Plantlife, and Nick and Andy are back! After being AWOL for several months, Professor Briiiiiiiiiiiian Cox found them in a small room just by the control room. It will all make sense when you listen to it.

Come on a musical adventure with your hosts Cosmic Bos as we delve into the wonderful world of Plant themed music, containing some truly exceptional music by some of the greatest indie artists working today.

Congratulations to John Serrano and James Slattery for winning the People's Choice Award for their Funky song 'Adrenaline Fire' from episode 2.5 Funk Drunk Love.

SPOILER ALERT! This will be the final episode of the Monthly Music Challenge for the forseeable future, as you might have been able to guess, running the MMC has been a pretty tough job for Nick and Andy, and they need to bring it to a close early so they can focus on the difficult task of being alive.

A massive thank you to everyone that has supported us over this year with the making of the podcast, it has been a labour of love (as we make no money from it) and time has unfortunatly slipped through our fingers and we need to change course in order to keep our sanity. Although judging by this episode we may not have had any sanity to begin with.

Set list for this episode in order (much to Big Mic's dismay)

• 1. Cosmic Bos ft. Joe Philogene and Dayne Howcroft - Earth's Children
• 2. John Serrano - El Bosque
• 3. Colin Pimlott - The Garden Widower
• 4. A Sea Warren - Plant Life
• 5. Between Daze - I Might
• 6. Andrew Hartshorn - Thriving in the Wilderness
• 7. Hellwaddler - Planting Pot Plants Plotting Top Plans
• 8. John Serrano - Queen of the Forest

You can pick up Cosmic Bos's song 'Earth's Children' on the album MMC1 (2023) from bandcamp

https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/mmc-1-2023-album and you can get it on CD if you like physical media. It can also be heard on all good streaming sites, and many of the bad ones too.

You can also pick up the song 'Queen of the Forest' by John Serrano on his amazing album 'Alive'

https://johnserrano.bandcamp.com/album/alive-lp which is coming out on Monochorme Motif records on the 6th September

We won't be running a people's choice award for this episode as there are so few songs to choose from, instead we are giving Big Mic choice awards to everyone that sent in a song, congratulations to John Serrano, Colin Pimlott, A Sea Warren, Between Daze, Andrew Hartshorn and Hellwaddler, you are all winners.

Thanks again for all the support, the podcast will be back next month with something a little different, and we will do a best of/awards thing in December to cap off the year and tie in to the release of our album.

Stay Beeeeeeeautiful

Cosmic Bos
