   About Couch Potatoes (CouchPotatoes)




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! "Watch the Plastic (w)Rapper VIDEO now!



NEW! "Plastic (w)Rapper is Track of the Day at garageband.com!



Following hot on the heels of Baby Please's selection as Track of the Day in November, Plastic (w)Rapper has gone one-up on it an secured a second woop for the CouchPotatoes!

In addition to this it has also made it through to the second round of the competition, and is now one step closer to being featured on Yahoo's Launch Radio.

NEW! "Baby Please" REMIX posted!

A crazy mate of mine disappeared for a while and returned with this track. I think it's awesome...a thorough glitched-out reworking of our Baby Please....have a listen and maybe pop round to see what else this madman has got going on at Twelv's MySpace Page

NEW! "Sun in My Eye (Dime in the Dust)" teaser posted!

I've been flirting with slightly more complex progressions and chord structures for a while now, but this is our first foray into bringing this jazzy influence to the 'Potatoes...check the track...it's a bit different from what we're used to, but it forms a nice basic track for us to develop on...I'll post updates as we add more layers....


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! These shoes were made for stalking....

*NEW!* CouchPotatoes/JimmyTwoTone TRACK AVAILABLE AT JimmyTwoTone's Myspace page.

Hey all,

We finally have a version of JimmyTwoTone's Part 1: The Father recorded and ready for your own personal audiophilic appreciation...swing by JimmyTwoTone and have a listen - the beats are sick, but the story's SICKER...

Leave a comment, lambaste the story, tell me how much you hate it, or how much you like it.

I don't care.

Neither does Jimmy.
(Although you never know with that mofo...)

There are about 10 more in various stages of recording, all to follow soon, so watch this space.

HA, brand new concept in diy anti-aging I'd say!! And then I'd say that I find it almost unbelievable that a man so handsome as yourself are also gifted with superior intellect as well as the heart of a lion! You are the best!
