Announcing: The Launch of the Redesigned JimFusco.com!

After weeks of work, Jim Fusco has completed his new website at http://jimfusco.com!  This new site features all of Jim’s albums, new and old, plus his biography, videos, and much more!

The new site focuses on Jim’s music throughout the years and has a great new look- his signature counts as his new logo, plus there’s a great new set of photos that grace every page.  Plus, there’s some cool interactive features, as each time you load a page, a random different photo appears, and a different quote about Jim shows-up in the header bar.  You’ll also see links to Jim’s new Facebook fan page and his popular YouTube channel.

Updates were also made accordingly to the Masters of the Universe tribute page at http://jimfusco.com/albums.html.  You’ll notice that there is no longer a formal store, but a simple PayPal shopping cart.  Jim hopes this new design will make his site more appealing to new fans and ones that have loved his music for the past nine years.

Now that this project is complete, Jim is moving-on to songwriting again, so expect some great announcements about a new album in the coming months!

New Season of The Laptop Sessions with Jim Fusco Begins Thursday, September 2nd

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 marks the start of the fourth season of The Laptop Sessions with Jim Fusco. This year, Jim will perform a new cover song music video every two weeks, with articles and reviews in between.

The season will run the length of a normal television season, ending in late May or early June.

Jim is excited about this new schedule and believes he will be able to give more time to each performance. He’s also looking forward to more collaborations with the Traveling Acai Berries and his brother, Mike.

Jim also has nine new songs that are slated for a future, yet untitled, album. So, stay tuned for more Original Wednesday posts, too!

Please join us this year during Jim’s “Road to a Million”, when we will count down to 1,000,000 YouTube video views on all of Jim’s music videos. And you can see it all here at The Laptop Sessions acoustic cover songs and original music video blog!

The Weekend Review kicks off the summer this week!

By Chris Moore:

Hi all!  I’m happy to announce that the Weekend Review is back this week to kick off summer the right way…

So, look out this week for reviews of albums from the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and an album that just came out this year.

As a side note, I was inspired this weekend by one of my friends to write a “top ten albums” list for the first half of 2010.  I’ve copied my list below, and it’ll be interesting to see what stays the same and what changes by December 31st.  For once, I’m including no commentary.  Just the list.  So, consider it a preview of what’s to come in six months!
