The cost of bad web design: So I've been meaning to buy Gold Chains' Straight from Your Radio EP, and I hadn't been able to find it at Amoeba in either SF or Berkeley, so I figured I'd go to the label website and order it from there. Wrong! I'm not a big stickler for design, as the clunky setup of this site indicates, but TigerBeat has the worst site I've EVER seen. Bright yellow backgrounds. Every click opens up a specially sized window (each sized differently). Go ahead. Try it. Getting to the order screen was maddening, but I made it there, and then thought, "Screw off TigerBeat!" So I didn't order anything, any I'm sure I'll come up with something else to buy from someone with a nice, easy-to-navigate website.
