Big Leather Couch

Found it interesting that there were so very few (actually as of 2:35 pm only one), comment on the music from yesterday. Was it the format it was presented in?

Even though we used a video to present it, it can be played as an audio player also. The time of our Tuneage is normally between 4 – 5 minutes depending upon the song and when using the lifelogger audio player we seem to get listens.

As we alluded to yesterday, we are working on using a flash player to present Tuneage to you going forward, but we will have to move The Couch to its own domain to do so. We are looking at a few web hosting companies to do that and are leaning toward godaddy.com. And no, it is not because Danica Patrick will be coming to visit us if we do – though if that offer was on the table, we might make the move sooner…hey, we mean so she can show us how to drive an open wheel Indy car…nothing more! (psst Travis...it's about the shoes! ---->)


Over the last three weeks we have slowly been redesigning The Couch. Designing ways to clean up the sidebars and make it easier for you to navigate the site. We are real excited by the new look that is developing. The colors are changing…the fonts are changing…but in the end, it will still be the same old Couch…comfy and inviting (we hope) and open to all thoughts and opinions.

This design has been around for 16 months now, and there are some worn spots that need reupholstering. The new design will make reading old posts a bit difficult, so that is another reason to change hosts. Either that or stay with Blogger and just start a new page.

We have seen The Couch badge on some of our friend’s sites, but it is not spreading like wildfire as we had hoped. We have not had anyone send us a photo to be included…so only Travis has himself on The Couch at this point in time.

We actually have been considering starting a second blog just for music, but think we might hold off on that.

There is something new right around the corner. It still involves music, but we will be getting the opportunity to receive new music to review here for all y’all and, very possibly, having additional copies of some of the new music to use as giveaways.

If all goes well, that will start in the next week with a review of the newest offering from a gentleman you might be seeing on TV this week.

Saturday is Santana (top left) and Buddy Guy (middle left)…two phenomenal guitarists. Our conflict comes in between the two. Buddy takes the stage from 7:05pm – 8:30pm. Then Lou Reed (bottom left) is on the same stage from 9:00pm – 10:15pm. Santana follows from 10:45 – 12:15am.
Now the conflict is that from 9:35pm – 10:45pm Pinetop Perkins (top right), Hubert Sumlin (middle right) (Howlin’ Wolf’s guitarist) and Billy Gibson (bottom right) are playing together in the Blues Tent. THAT should be a HOT HOT set.

Do we hold the position we have on the stage and keep with Lou Reed, or do we go over to the Blues tent and then go back to the stage and try and get upfront for Carlos?





What would you do???

Still have to present the music this way…UPDATE: Just uploaded a song successfully at 11:02 pm, but already had this prepared...Looks like music will be coming back.

Now...where were we? Oh yeah...a little Carlos to set The Couch on fire….Ya can just listen...but ummmmTRAVIS...you need to watch!
From the debut album...."Evil Ways" (4:00)

ENJOY….
