Hey everyone,
Just built a music blog for all the tunes I'm currently liking and wanted to share, its pretty brand spanking new ( just finished it ) Would love your thoughts on it.
Cheers
K.

Oh, if you don't like indie/electro/mash-ups its best that you just maybe have a look but not listen ;)

so tired of mashups and electro house bullshit. just reading some of those song titles makes me want to hurt baby animals.
but... site-wise, it all seems pretty plain and not reflective at all of the music you have there. maybe just a dash of something to jazz it up?

I was going with something very clean and minimalist ( more of a focus on just listening to the music ) but maybe jazzying it up is something im going to look in to, ive tried looking at some jquery bits and bobs but ive found it quite difficult to integrate in to wordpress, design wise i think i might add maybe a splash more color though.

I like the layout, but it needs more excitement

I like it. Actually, I'd go even more spare. Super spare. Like hardly there.
Sometimes one must be contrary to be noticed. So I'd strip it down. Make all the buttons smaller, make the bars that show how much you've listened to even thinner, make the text smaller. Something really different.

It looks it's missing something. If you wanted it to be more minimalist, I'd go super spare like boobs said. Or design it so that the looks of the site matches the style of music.
And, one thing I found a little annoying is that you have to pause the currently playing song to listen to another song.
Hey, I found some of the remixes pretty interesting. Where do you get all these remixes from?

@gramofonmusik with regards to the pausing of songs it should be able to swap between them but i will look in to trying to replicate that problem. I get most my music from the music blogs that i follow and also hypem.com which is an amazing resource for music.
@boobs i think your right, the big thing that is currently sticking out like a saw thumb is the music player. Im plannning on building a new one that is much more minimal and more in keeping with the theme of the site, cheers for the feedback
