Whoa! I hadn't been on the site in ages. The design is nuts! I think it's beautiful, yes, but much less functional.
When I first saw the redesign of TheSixtyOne, I also thought it was nuts; a classic case of web-design by graphic-designer.

You're shown just one song (you've likely never heard of before) at a time.
You either like it and listen to it, or move on to the next.
