Vote for Rustic in the Fuse All-American Face Off

[Darek]

"Finally, a geography lesson you'll stay awake through! We want you to pick your favorite artists from each state so we can count down the very best that this great country has to offer. Then make sure to tune in over the July 4th weekend as we celebrate your picks for the best and most patriotic rockers, rappers and more.

It'll be fun! And who knows, maybe you'll learn something."

They are, as they always seem to be in things like this, up against Howie Day.

Vote Here Now!

ETA: Unless I'm blind, apparently VT doesn't even have two bands to rub together since we have no voting options. Thanks FUSE.

I don't have much to do today at work and my goal is to vote for Rustic 2,738 times today and blow Howie out of the water. Anyone else game?

Darek, did you notice how they left out Vermont? I guess they're just giving it to Phish.

It's a good thing it wasn't Rustic vs. Ray Lamontagne... I would have a tough time in that vote. Howie Day can lick my nuts, though...

Maybe this one bothered me too much, but this is what I just sent to FUSE:

Hey Dumb Shits with FUSE,

First off just to let you know I've e-mailed this not only to all of you at the Media Contacts for Public Relations at FUSE, but I've copied The Late Show, Tonight Show, and MadTV just to let them know how dumb you are.

Thanks for making americans look stupid. My question to you is "How many states are there in the United States"? Last time I counted there were 50 states. I guess Vermont wasn't one of them. I first thought Vermont wasn't on your list for lack of a having Top 40 band that is still active, but you have Nirvana for Washington (not active) and the Rustic Overtones (not Top 40) are in Maine. Nice to see that you got Aerosmith right state for New Hampshire.

Make sure you change the header below to state "all;except Vermont,americanfaceoff". I guess that Phish was never a real band and who's ever heard of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Strangefolk, The Dave Keller Blues Band, Seth Yacovone Blues Band, Blinded by Rage, Gordan Stone Band, Dave Grippo Funk Band, Tha VT Union, or DJ A-Dog just to name a few.


Happy 4th of July! We Vermonters just live in america; not yet a part of america and you're welcome for the Green Mountain Boys.

My email to them wasn't quite as nasty as Nuphus', but it should have been. I noticed VT missing right after I posted here (hence the edit) and at first got a kick out of it but then started to get pissed. We may be a small state, but we're passionate. Way to go Nu!

I'll probably spend a good part of my night voting for Rustic as well farley. I love that after you vote you can just click "vote again" rather than having to reload the page.

Anyone get the results of this? Can't seem to find it online.

[dgillyerek]

it was close and came down to the wire

Maine
Rustic Overtones 27%
Howie Day 73%

[farley1323]

Yeah had to see that coming. It seemed to be a half-baked idea with a half-hearted attempt to put together a good list of artists and cover all 50 states. At least the Phoenix knows whats up.

[jeff]

I don't think I've ever heard a Howie Day song.

[farley1323]

Don't bother.
