Vinyl from T. William’s Vault Vol. I
Posted by T. William Gooch in Alternative, Electronic, Indie Rock, On The Couch Mixtape on June 5, 2011
Last week my girlfriend was perusing through my collection of vinyl and as she made her way through, the small yet diverse collection, she started to place albums aside that she would like to have copies of. At the time getting her a copy of the chosen didn’t seem like a very big project, because I had assumed that I had digital copies of all, if not most, of them.
New Mixtapes On the Couch
Posted by T. William Gooch in Electronic, Fun Rock, Indie Rock, On The Couch Mixtape on May 22, 2011
Yesterday we unveiled our latest feature here On the Couch. The staff will be compiling mixtapes for your listening enjoyment on a periodic basis. This is planned to be a scheduled event but we have yet to nail down a solid plan, so until then if you are looking for our latest mixtapes you can find them at the top of the page under the tab “On the Couch Mixtapes“.
Music the Vander Wey has produced his first tape and I have just completed one of my own. Sadly you can’t stream the tapes directly on our blog YET, until we get that bug fixed just click on the cover art and you will surf on over to 8tracks.com and you can listen there. There are a couple of notes one should know about the mixes, you can only skip two tracks, there are only 8 songs per mix, and if you would like to buy the tune there is an Amazon link to the right of the song information.
T Will’s Friday Jam – Das Racist

Das Racist
It is Friday and you know what that means! Time for T. Will to get you some tunes to that will get your weekend off on the right track. This week’s sample comes from Das Racist off their mixtape Shut Up, Dude.
Shut Up, Dude was the precursor to the trio’s critically acclaimed full length release Sit Down, Man. The first song to get attention off the mixtape was “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” and to be honest it was the first track that jumped out at me too. That being said it wore on me quickly, but luckily the mixtape offered many other options.

Ok full disclosure… I never understood why people always talked about mixtapes. I had never listened to one, let alone owned one, until earlier this year. Now I think I understand why they are so important to fans and artists. The mixtape allows the artist to release something that already has some cred because they are flowin’ over a recognizable track and then play with lyrics without the record label controlling how the disc is presented. It also gives the fan a feeling of exclusivity because this mix will not be widely distributed.
