    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.
