| Final
Day of Paint it Fuse |
press release reports: FUSE, the all-music,
viewer driven television network is giving viewers a once in a lifetime
opportunity to bid on original works from the most cutting edge artists
in the music and design communities. The "Paint it Fuse" auction will run
from May 23 - June 2 on eBay and can be accessed by following this link
(www.ebay.com/fusetv). It will benefit the MusiCares foundation, which
assists members of the music community in times of need.
Just as FUSE's programming is committed
to showcasing innovative and impassioned artists from all genres of music,
the works featured in this auction display the talents of designers from
all corners of the music industry celebrating the freedom of artistic expression.
The works will display stylized renderings of the FUSE Hairy Man mascot,
highlighting each artist's signature style, and are sure to become collector's
items. With the trend of downloading music increasing, the exposure to
some of today's best graphic artists specializing in gig posters, album
and CD art has waned. This auction seeks to expose the public to this under
appreciated art, while helping to provide vital assistance to those in
the music community that need it. - Click

| Lesley
Gore Release |
press release reports: The most commercially
successful solo artist of the "Girl Group" era of the '60s, Lesley Gore
quickly set herself apart. With a string of Quincy Jones-produced, chart-topping
hits, including "It's My Party," "Judy's Turn To Cry," and "You Don't Own
Me," she introduced the world to a brilliant artist with pop instincts
and an independent spirit that stood out against the formulaic offerings
on the radio. A full-fledged star by age 16, her smash hits rang like anthems
for young American women, and pointed the way for future generations of
rabble-rousing pop singers from Debbie Harry, to Pat Benatar, to Madonna,
to Gwen Stefani-all of whom remain in her debt. Produced by Blake Morgan,
Ever Since is a timeless collection of classic songs placed in a transparent,
pin-lit setting that allows her to shine. Included are re-imagined versions
of two Lesley Gore standards, "You Don't Own Me" and the Academy Award-nominated
"Out Here On My Own" (from Fame) Release: June 28th [see full story for
