I found a shirt that has MHB on the front with a the outline of a shape just below the MHB letters. The back had small text saying, "the College Store". I can put the outline shape picture up here but I figured that some one would know the answer without that - any help? What does MHB mean?

I'm not sure if it was ever linked on Metafilter, but I remember running across a web site where bands could set up online streaming and downloading of their music, with multiple audio formats and multiple pricing options. There were also various visualizers built into the music players. Hive mind, who can help me track down the URL I've lost? It was a relatively recent find in my travels on the internets—possibly late 2008.
