Definitely more reviews and a ranking system. Album of the Week is a great idea. The Heavy Rotation can be a lot to take in and it seems like nothing is heavily rotated for very long.
Also (keep in ming I don't know any technical web page terms), I think the site just generally needs to be cleaned up. When scrolling through the News stories, when you click Read More, you are taken to another page. I like the way Pitchfork has it set up where it the story drops down on the same page.
The front page of the site has News stories mixed with videos mixed with features mixed with mp3's...it's a mess. I really think a cleaner layout would definitely benefit the user experience and get people to sign in and jnoin the discussion.
I have probably listened to Blood Visions more than any other album an its still in constant rotation over 3 years later. One of my first dates with my girl friend we to a Jay Reatard show. I have so many memories with his music. I am truly devasted by this. RIP
Disappointed at first because I felt like the best songs are songs we already heard before and we know really well by now. After repeated listens, other great moments start to pop up, like the bass in "Trouble Comes Running" and some of those great, extended, minimalist Spoon jams and grooves in "Out Go the Lights" and "I Saw the Light."
Gentleman Jesse was one of the most under rated albums pretty much... ever. I'm glad somebody, somewhere, is fiinally giving them a little credit. For some reason, the blogs didn't pick up on it... so basically nobody else did either. BTW, check out their Halloween show pics from last Saturday at the Earl. RAWK!!
