Artist: Fuse

The music video is not dead. Gone are the days of uber creative, uber expensive extravaganzas like "Thriller", but this does not mean the music video has died. The explosion in popularity of video sites such as YouTube , Daily Motion , Vimeo , and the emergence of web video destinations like Pitchfork.tv have given a new home to an art form currently exiled from television. As with much of music today, the truly innovative and creative work comes not from the mainstream, but from the fringes and the underground. Here [...]

Here's an elevator pitch for cash/idea-strapped music video channels, courtesy of the blogosphere: "You know what would be amazing? If say, MTV or VH1, or Fuse partnered with iTunes to make 'albums' of their Top 10/20/50 countdowns. The weekly ones and the ones that are themed (like, Most Influential Songs of the 90's or whatever). Then you could buy the countdowns (videos, or audio) like you would albums." I also like the idea of doing this in reverse, with one of those channels giving up a chunk of time to a show that counts down iTunes' top albums, or even [...]

To celebrate Metallica's induction into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame a few weeks back, Fuse generously donated Metallica's entire discography to one lucky MetalSucks reader. We asked you to tell us your favorite Metallica song and why it's your favorite; we meticulously sorted through the entries (yup, we really read all of 'em), [...]

MetalSucks and Fuse are teaming up to offer you one of our coolest contests to date; one lucky winner will take home the entirety of Metallica's discography on CD!

Don't let the fatcats at the mini-monopolies collectively known as The Industry decide the next big band. Do it yourself, with Makeastar.com . I first heard about this contest (well, the original music portion of it) when the Hollywood band Orange excitedly announced that it won several preliminary and semii-finalist rounds. The upshot: These guys are appearing on the FUSE network at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time tomorrow, as part of the so-called "Hollywood round." I'm rooting for Orange , a pop-punk outfit that's the first Hollywood band I saw after moving [...]

The music video channel that could Fuse had been running its "Top 40 of 2008" special over the last few days, but I just couldn't bring myself to watch—Katy Perry wasn't just performing two songs, she was co-hosting the whole thing. The premise was amusing, matching the year's "best" videos against each other head-to-head, tournament style, but in the end, it just turned into a battle of who could mobilize their fan club to the greatest effect. Guess what? Even through it all, the followers of Britney can come through in the clutch. [...]

Tomorrow, December 16th, marks the release of Folie A Deux , Fall Out Boy 's highly anticipated follow-up to last year's Infinity On High . Fuse hosted a special one-hour FOB concert at The Chicago Theatre and is giving viewers a front row seat when the footage airs tomorrow at 9pm. Here we've got some sneak preview concert footage along with an interview with the band discussing their thoughts on the show: "Fall Out Boy: Live from The Chicago Theatre" airs this tomorrow, December 16th @ 9pm/8c [...]

Enjoy last week's performance of 'Losing Touch' below. MP3 at bottom. MP3: The Killers - Mr. Brightside

I've been meaning to do a post on a bunch of mixes for a while now but having sat down with the intention of covering five different mixes in one sitting it's dawned on me that a lengthy review of each including a track by track blow of the contents is not only going to take me rather a long time but will also probably bore you all to death. Consequently I'll keep things brief and leave just a few highlights. Despite having a sizable list of productions under his belt and being well known in his home [...]

Only months after their debut at the Vancouver Art Gallery's FUSE event, Times Neue Roman are getting alot of attention and doing some big things. The Toronto based act is comprised of poet Arowbe Arowbe Arowbe, who continuously delivers such an energetic flow and some great hooks over the beats composed by Alexander, The, who brings use back to the 8-bit console generation. Prepare for one of your next favorite club bangers when you hear "Hi, this is my new song". Remix anyone? You may already be familiar with them if you were at the [...]

So apparently Fuse has a new show called Excellent Adventure (sans Bill and Ted, sadly) in which the hosts explore different music around the world. While last week's exploration of Germany's famous Wacken Open Air Festival certainly wasn't the first time this gargantuan metal fest has been covered in the mainstream media, such choice nuggets [...]

Fuse, the little music-video channel that's taken quite a few ( sometimes misguided ) steps toward banking on music-related programming over the past year, has snatched the next three years' worth of television rights to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony from VH1 Classic. While last year's ceremony, including Tom Hanks' enthusiastic, yet odd celebration of the Dave Clark Five, wasn't exactly gripping television, there's something to be said for one of music's most-covered nights out of the depths of the digital-cable dial and onto a channel that actually broadcasts [...]

Check out a sneak preview of the first episode, featuring Motor Gun Hotel , here . [ widget ]

In an effort to distinguish itself from its increasingly distracted-from-music competitor MTV, music-video channel Fuse has decided to develop a few pieces of original programming that take beloved shows from TV past and present and refashion them to be more about music —for example, the Queen For A Day Mach II show Redemption Song , or the rock n' roll dating game You Rock, Let's Roll . But the new Fuse show I was most intrigued by was Rock Bottom , which is basically aiming to be like Intervention , but for bands. [...]
