magazine style wordpress skin?!

    I'm continually shocked at how there doesn't seem to be a single "magazine style" theme for Wordpress - something with a home page override that lists articles differently or has a better looking interface. I've been doing google searches and have been looking at template sites for at least a year and I still haven't found one. Does anyone here know of a Wordpress theme like this?

    I suppose I'm looking for something that lays out articles similarly to Vivvo:
    demo page here - basically with articles in an interesting layout, more "newspaper" like, getting rid of the cliche reverse-chron mile long list of blog posts.

    Yes, I coded the theme all from scratch, and it is all my work.

    Funny, when I first read the post I was going to mention Brian's Revolution theme, but I should've known he'd be here already.

    Not to take away from any of the ideas but a fellow named Upstart Blogger does some really awesome themes in this category for free. He also gives pretty good technical support. I use one of his themes for my blog (Arsenal FC Blog) and have been able to customize it quite well to suit what I want. Here is a link to a blog style you might like called Futurosity.

    I'm using Brians theme on my Blog, it's the best. I'm still customizing it though.

    I'll buy Brian's theme (which is great)

    I do hope I will be able to customize it a little bit :)
