Music site. No music.

Aw, c'mon. They probably worked their ass off to get those artists to sign up with them before the site even launched. Watch a band like Radiohead or NIN give 'em a wink and it will blow up like stove top jiffy pop.

Also, my 2c on the site design: Its trendy and neat, but off-white, sans-serif font on a black background makes for a hard read. Otherwise I like it. Minimalism, hoo-rah.

I love the concept. I hope it takes off like crazy! And I think it will.

Haha thank you! We've been busting our ass off to do something we love.

Noting the off-white font comment!

That's right. And precisely because they worked very hard for that, I added my comment to let them know they are now throwing away most of that effort because they hide the music behind some login. I would put the music out there and annoy people with the login or at least, learn from the drug dealers: first time it's free (more like first 10 times it's free).
