I thought it was time for a sleeker, cleaner look. The goal for for this was simplicity and easy navigation. I hope that goal was achieved. If you have any ideas or tips to make PMA’s design more user-friendly, please let me know via the comments.
I want to make sure content is king here at PMA, so I steer clear from flashy and distracting designs, so I apologize if that’s what you are into, but it’s probably not going to happen here anytime soon. Either way, I’m open to your comments and thoughts.

How about just dropping/moving the advert at the top of the page, the wide one. That one’s the most annoying one. If you move or remove that one it’ll probably be a lot cleaner.
heey the new design it’s pretty cool, but believe me i loved the last design the other header was, awesome! but every website needs changes! keep it up buddy,
PMA rules!
I definitely see the RCRD LBL influence. I miss the old colorful header though, so cheerful!
So clean, i’m not going to take a shower for a week.
lol, random blog in my rotation. checked out http://ilovetypography.com, very nice, I see your vision!
Haha, yes. I sort of wish I can make it gender neutral. I mean, I can, but I love that boy icon ahaha.
OMG, I got the update in the mail that stuff had change, but I had no idea this much. Love It!!! My icon is a boy tho…
(I so need a OpenID now) 
Looks good, definitely cleaner and simpler to look at.
@George: THANKS GEORGE! What an obvious glitch — great of you to point it out.
looks beautiful luis. i love it
One little thing – The “Home” hyperlink at the top doesn’t link to the home page if you’re on a post. Rest is very nice.
@KiCk iN tHe DoOrs: ha, actually I’ve never heard of etmusiquepourtous.com.
It was inspired by http://ilovetypography.com/ and maybe a bit by http://stereogum.com/ and http://rcrdlbl.com/
Oh, and I loved the sidebar idea http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment has.
Good stuff, was this inspired by etmusiquepourtous.com ?
PB: clicking the arrow again works perfectly for me.
@pb: To get out of the dropdowns, all you have to do is click on the arrow again.
@Joshua: Yeah they do stand out a lot more now, sorry about that — but both of those things are out of the question
Yeah, it looks pretty good but this makes the adverts FAR more annoying. They never really bothered me until now actually. So IF I were you I’d either drop the adverts or switch back to your old lay-out which was already outstanding.
looks great! i’m gonna rain on the parade a tiny bit though…the drop down menus are awesome but i can’t seem to find a way to get out of them once i click on the arrow…anyone having the same problem?
keep up the great work
simplicity makes it look good on the mobile too!
I don’t think a site has ever made a change that I immediately liked, but I gotta say this is a nice improvement. Good work Luis!
Hi PMA, I’ll get use to it, keep droppin’ bombs on’em….
Reminds of David Carson’s work, mental man, I think I’m gonna go buy some new simple clothes. Thank you PMA!
I’m reasonably new to PMA, but I really liked the old look – I’m sure we’ll get used to this one soon enough, though.
The drop down bars are great, I must say.
This is great Luis. Keep up the good (GREAT) work.
You always use some hip, cool, amazing fonts for your headers — I wish I was as typographically diverse as you.
it may not be shiny and bright, but PMA has one of the most effective looks out there! It’s so clean and easy to look at… oh and the music is amazing! Thank you and good job!
As a design student, I gotta tell you how much I love the simplicity. I love that you rely on cool photos and colorful advertisements to draw the color out. Very nice. You’re accenting the content that needs to be accented. Great move.
Love that I can use an OpenID here now! So cool. The dropdown menus are fucking cool too!
PMA just got way better!
no complaints here. great clean, easy look. i approve.
PMA is looking good. Love this a lot.
