  It’s the font used. Funny thing I have to say, since I saw it a lot recently, the last time in the official advertising for the Klitschko vs. Austin fight.

  I guess that makes me an early adopter and a trendsetter because I was using this font as well in the first design of this weblog, 2.5 years ago now

  Would love to see a screenshot from that – the first version from your website I saw was the rose-blue one with the meta informations on the left side of the post.
  
  Well enough of this! Looking forward to see the website. And you do know it’s a little bit ironic to use an .us TLD for an european offer, right?

  Actually it makes perfect sense! The site promotes European bands to an USA audience. A lot of US people don’t know all that many European bands. So I think it couldn’t be better

  Nice job! Music and Internet, a beautiful combination!
  
  Noticed you use XMB for the forum. Never heard about it. Is it better than phpbb? We’re looking for a good alternative for a forum we’re trying to get up and running again.

  
  

Got something to add to this?
