PMA IS A GREAT WEBSITE I USUALLY CHECK THIS WEBSITE OUT LIKE ONCE OR TWICE A DAY SINCE I DJ I LIKE THE MUSIC CHOICE IT HAS FROM EVERYTHING FROM HIPHOP TECHNO DANCE ROCK ECT…BUT PMA IS A LITTLE LATE ON THE NEW KANYE STUFF AND VIDEOS AND SUCH LIKE OTHER WEBSITES ARE USUALLY MORE UPDATED QUICKER BUT PMA IS STILL ONE OF THE FASTEST BUT OVERALL A GREAT BLOG ESPECIALLY FOR A DJ LIKE ME.THANKS
I love PMA. This blog delivers some of the best new music that I can’t find anyplace else.
This Site is awesome i check it out daily for new music or music news.It also dosent hurt that some posts are of interesting things like that recent one on miley cyrus.I enjoy how this blog provides variety posting from artists like Jay-z,KANye and Lady gaga and introducing me to new genres like ladyhawke and N.A.S.A. its is an awesome way for music lovers to fullfill their needs!!!!!!!!
PMA never ceases to amaze me on how on the pulse they are most of the time with new music. (Aside from pitchfork), you always seem to be the first to give us new tunes from top artists.
My only grievance is you should perhaps cover some more unheard of bands, even if it might hurt yr. page views in the short run, it’ll look bloody good if you find a fantastic new band before anyone else does.
I check it daily and I only do that for a good four or five music blogs.
PMA is a great blog! You have great taste in music and I’m always happy to discover stuff you’ve posted!
To improve: the layout maybe?!
In general i like most of the stuff you post on this site, however maybe some indie bands, sometimes i get sick of hearing from kanye, or britney.
I think PMA is one of the best blogs on the net right now for finding the best up and coming singles. You basically have the same ear for pop music I do, so every time I visit here, I hear something I like.
pretty much amazing is a good spot to come check out pop music that is on the up and up, not just focused on leaking obscure indie songs you can find a non mainstream voice that talks about something most can listen to. a popular voice that doesnt pander to the masses.
thanks pma i think your doing a good job
lots of new music
things to listen to
all pretty much amazing
jtb
No doubt you’ve got good news, reviews are esential. And I love the mp3’s, no-one has these remixes. Stay tuned!
I would write you a long cheesy text to win
but i wont
Great blog
just have one song posted for every post
thats what’s the best
the music!
Keep it up
In general it is a really good site, but sometimes I really don’t care to hear about Britney Spears or Lady GaGa.
Great site which always provides new music before it is released to the masses. Keep up the great work.
to me, PMA stands for post-modern asshole. but, seriously, i love post-modern assholes. this website gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
cheers.
I used to read PMA all the time and then stopped (don’t ask me why) you’re pulling me back in though. damn you.
This is about the only music site I check regularly. I’m especially after new artists– to break up the monotony. I’m loving Bon Iver right now.
PMA is always one of the first sites to leak the best tracks, and you give great album reviews! I love that you don’t feel like you have to make excuses for the fact that you like some of the more mainstream music such as Britney Spears and Kanye West.
You tend to focus on a couple of artists at a time, so while your music taste is diverse, it appears that you aren’t covering as much music sometimes.
I’d love to see you do a series on some of the biggest artists of each genre and review why you think they do (or don’t) deserve their status.
Thanks for being amazing! <3
I like PMA because you’re not just posting songs. A visit a lot of blogs that never have an opinion about the music. if it’s new, they post it. How about, if it’s good music worth sharing, post it? That’s why I like PMA; even if I don’t necessarily agree with your opinion, at least your posts aren’t links to zshare and a ****ing smiley face.
I didn’t look at PMA that much before I added the RSS feed, but now I love getting all the music updates. I like how you look at both great indie stuff and also good/decent mainstream music too (I love me some Kanye!). I also like that there’s an mp3 in every post – certain other former favorite music blogs of mine have lost my readership by starting to post more news and features than actual music. To improve? Maybe a little more on the indie and less remixes.
I check everyday because usually you cut through the hype and a lot of the crap music out there. I can’t stand music that is supposed to be so good and everyone blogs about it to seem cool. You don’t do that. Thanks.
Digging For Days
PMA is the only music blog I visit and its because the music you like is the same as the stuff I listen to so I get some great remixes and maybe exposed to a new band.
PMA is a blast.
I started reading it about two months ago and now check it probably about twice a day. Interesting and diverse songs, good reviews of new albums, and intelligent op-ed pieces. The Thinking Man’s music blog.
I love pretty much amazing! It has gotten me totally into the mp3 blog craze and I constantly check the site for new music! Keep up the good work!
PMA goes for the small (featuring indie artist covers/remixes), the big (thinking man’s features on other music websites), and everything in between (leaks, remixes, singles, albums on major artists).
also love finding the ’secret’ PMA-hosted mp3’s rather than going through zshare.
keep it up. got nothing bad to say!
I love keeping up with the constant flow of new music, and PMA is one of my go to blogs for updates on music and culture. Its up there with Palms out sounds, Kitsune Noir, and other great blogs. The server has a been laggy recently…but other than that, ” Pretty Much Amazing”! Keep up the good work guys
