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.

I definitely see the RCRD LBL influence. I miss the old colorful header though, so cheerful!

Haha, yes. I sort of wish I can make it gender neutral. I mean, I can, but I love that boy icon ahaha.

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.

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.

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!

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.
