Cool-but-not-Funny stuff on the Internet

Needed a new forum for stuff like this: Rock Fonts!

yeah, I know the Grateful Dead are old farts, old dead farts, but as far as lettering, it's hard to believe they would be left out of a list like this.

And for this -- although perhaps links to songs should be their own thread:

This is Doves, "Black and White Town."  It's kind of like Tears For Fears collaborating with JoBoxers on a new way of looking at "Heat Wave."  An early candidate for Single Of The Year!

OMG, you're right.  A grievous oversight indeed.  They wouldn't have trademarked it, would they?

perhaps, but I doubt all the other bands gave permission either.  The Beatles?

Wow! Me like! And of course your description is Totally. Spot. On.  And Paul Weller is kicking himself for not thinking of it first...

Coincidentally, they did a bit on KFOG this morning about that new Bright Eyes song sounding a LOT like Dylan's "Don't Think Twice".

I have a program that lets me make simple animated gifs. I cropped a pic, made 3 other copies that had the funky eyes & strung together in the program.

Ditto for Led Zeppelin. The typefaces they purport as being the Zep logos are close but to my eye don't seem to be the exact ones the band used.

As for the omission of the Dead, I wouldn't take it too personally--the only other bands included from the psychedelic era are Pink Floyd and the Doors. Otherwise their selection has a decidedly metal bias.
