Fuzz Artists,

I haven’t logged on to the site for a long time. This is the message I received though. I’m pretty bummed about it because everyone who ran the site seemed like down to earth music lovers. It’s a shame you won’t be around much longer Fuzz. I’ll miss you. :(*sheds an emo tear or two*

Dear Fuzz User:
Sadly, we are contacting you to announce that
is shutting down on February 13, 2009. Between now and then you may want to take the opportunity to post your forwarding information to fellow Fuzz users. It was with a heavy heart that we finally made the decision to turn off the lights, but because of increasing operating costs and flat revenues it simply no longer makes sense for us to keep
running. We offer our heartfelt thanks for being a part of it, and we’d like to give a special added thanks our avid, core users — true music fans who made Fuzz their home-​base, and created a real sense of community.
Please note that once the site is shut down on February 13, 2009, the band and user accounts, and all other content on
, will no longer be accessible. For artists who have used the site to sell music, we plan to make a final payout within 60 days of the shut down.

Of all the music networking sites, Fuzz is my favorite. More than just a clean interface and useful features, it’s also the label for The Lovemakers, one of the best independent bands out there. More importantly, the community is fun, loving and cares deeply about music. So when I post about how much I adore Hannah Montana or The Jonas Brothers, I know I won’t get shit for it.
Recently, Fuzz unveiled Blip, an extraordinary micro-​blogging platform best described as Twitter with music. You select what you’re listening to, along with some text, and other Fuzz members can listen to your audio selection and read your thoughts. Also, the end of the previous paragraph was a joke.
Here are some of my more recent Blip posts:
