About Me
Take one Drum n Bass DJ, add an MC with roots in hardcore and punk, have a few tokes, mix in some acoustic blues and jazz and sew it all together with some seriously sweet beats....you're starting to get an idea.
Now, add a seriously twisted designer with dangerous skills, and the CouchPotatoes are ready for the next level of auditory and visual illness!
Get back on the Couch where you belong!
~*LATEST NEWS FROM THE COUCH!*~
NEW! "Baby Please" track posted!
I am please to announce the completion of Baby Please, featuring the sultry tones of MissMills on female vocals....The song deals with the age-old concept of calling in a final favour with someone you've shared a history with, before never speaking to them ever again...i figure everyone can relate to this....:)checkit! get it while it's HOT!NEW! Blues For The Dying Sun track posted!
For a limited time only the track NEW track Blues For The Dying Sun is available for download HERE . Get it while it's Hot!
I am pleased to announce the addition of another killer track, Blues For The Dying Sun, to our portfolio; this time featuring my good friend Emperor Zoloft, a.k.a. Waldo Alexander, of 3 Bored White Guys and previously of the Sontonga Quartet.
The Emperor is one of the finest violinists in South Africa today, and has more world-touring experience than most muso’s could shake a stick at. We recorded this a few days before the end of last year, and I think the results speak for themselves…a soothing, yet mournful ode to the end of the day (and a celebration of the beginning of another night!)
Feel free to check the track out and leave a comment, I’m still trying to decide whether to add vocals to it, so any comments in this vein will be very helpful.
Enjoy it, and remember, Keep it on the Couch!

*NEW!* 3 Kick-Ass tracks posted!
Hela hela!
After toiling till all hours of the morning for the last week, I am uberpleased to announce that there are 3 All-New Ass-Kicking tracks posted for your enjoyment...
These songs will be posted for one week to enable you all to get a sneak peek at the latest we have to offer....we're pretty impressed at the way they turned out, and have a sinking feeling you guys might be too...
The three songs posted are:
* Plastic Wrapper - a dark and subversive ode to stalking, abduction, fast cars and faceless paranoia...
* In a Can, Man - we all live in boxes....the thing is, only some of us realise this and try to do something about it...the rest just sit back and try to find a corner that doesn't hurt their backs too much.
* 21 Bong Salute - a paean to the joys of bong hitting - without them the CouchPotatoes would not be here....or we might have taken over the world already...hehe
We think that these tracks represent the next step in the CouchPotatoes' development - the tracks are rich, multi-layered compositions with even a *Gasp!* vocal harmony or 2 thrown in to add to the sickness...Let us know what you think.
C'mon. Do it!
Regards, SKiZM

Neither does Jimmy.
