Does my font look better now? Less overlap than before?

This is just a second post test.

The 16 songs on Clouds All Day are played with skill and taste, providing the listener with a great deal of enjoyment. Even though The Shambles sound is gleaned from several styles, Clouds All Day emerges as a work of originality.

Perhaps the one most salient element of these songs is the prevalence of minor chords. Tracks like the hazy "Colour Swirl", the folky "Rain", and the dense/intense "Brilliant" are 9 minutes of minor key magic, and "Brilliant" adds a dizzying vibe, with it's "down" chorus positively electrifying. The band's greatist strength, however, is it's versatility.

The best moment on the album is easily "Change", a song written by lead guitarist Kevin Donaker-Ring. This track is highlighted by Donaker-Ring's chunky guitar, great harmonies, and some of the most eerie "oohs" and "aahs" you'll ever hear.

...treating yourself to Clouds All day is a highly recommended venture.

If I said you had a nice first post would you hold it against me?

This is only here as a test for template test purposes.

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is common placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. It is a form of "greeking".

Even though using "lorem ipsum" often arouses curiosity due to its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is visible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design in order to direct the focus to presentation. "Lorem ipsum" also approximates a typical distribution of spaces in English.

The most common lorem ipsum text reads as follows:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
