Is FUSE the new Anarchistic/Leftist version of MTV?
Edited on Fri Jul-15-05 10:25 PM by JanMichael
Seriously!

From "Steven's Untitled Rock Show" to Juliya and her Metal music to dusting Bush off a black board on a interactive show, this station plays non-stop Greenday (American Idiot, Holiday, I walk alone), OTEP, System of a Down, and a plethera of other lesser known anti-Corpo, anti-Imperialism, anti-BUSH, bands.

Who started this?????


Love IT!

EDIT: I should ad that I'm a 37 year old city planner who still loves Rage Against the Machine...

2. I am a 38 year old bean counter who loves RATM
Let's hear it for subversive leftists in the workforce.

(never heard of FUSE, but thanks for the heads-up)

*Cranks up "The Battle of Los Angeles"

3. Yee Ha! Yeah skippy!
FUSE is a cable channel that I'd never heard of until moving to NC.

It play, um yes, VIDEOS and a whole buttload of hard rock.

4. I think it, unlike Mtv, plays music videos.

It's pretty good.

MTV's Subterranean is pretty good. None of the music video channels ever gets very deep into the alternative scene. How many Fu Manchu vids have you seen? Glass Candy? Stereolab? Bellrays? Gossip? But, ya takes what ya can.

Isn't nice when you find something new that is cool?

If you have the dish, like Direct TV, check Link TV. Not only does it have great progressive programming, like Democracy now, but in the evenings they play music from around the world, and it's prety cool.

Edit: spellung

5. I really don't watch it (FUSE) that often but I know the bands.
iirc they have a pretty deep "alternative" playlist.

I could be wrong though because I really only watch on weekend evenings for a very short while.

6. I didn't mean to say that Fuse does not have an attractive playlist.
Sorry. They certainly do, and it's a very cool station. Very cool.
