Trig.com - in Mashable's Top 10 Most Beautiful?

First I would like to point out that Mashable.com said this about Trig:
"Trig is a sweet sight for the sore eyes of a web designer/hipster who spent too many days wailing about horrid MySpace profiles. It’s quite similar to Virb but in our opinion looks even nicer, with black and 20 shades of gray being the dominant colors. Trig is mostly music-oriented, so if you have a band that’s simply too artsy to have a MySpace profile, you know what to do."
Granted Myspace has it's issues backed up from here to the moon but still. Honestly, I can say Myspace is doing a much better job as of lately...but anywho, on to the point.

When I first went to Trig.com, I thought well, this is a pretty simple site. Then I thought, "where the hell is the menu at?!" I finally found it at the top...and once I found it my eyes started bugging out.

Tip: Light blue on gray? Good god...I hope they plan on fixing that soon. I mean, I think I need eye surgery now after staring at it for a minute just looking through their navigation menu.

I do have to point out this though, they were intelligent enough to have an option on the side of the banner called "Hit the Lights" which darkens the entire site. Pretty cool. So after I "Hit the Lights" my eyes were much more pleased. But making it darker with that same font and blue color just showed that the font in general, is hard enough to read on its own.

Other than the fact that their font makes everything hard on the eyes, it is well, a pretty site overall... I guess...
