My comments (as neutral as possible): 1. Adsense is way too big and too prominent. Take it away from the fontpage and only put it on the search results page 2. Static frontpage is empty. Boring. 3. The page is aligned leftwards on my macbook widescreen. 4. This is not important, but you are not being careful to properly center align stuff. Like the "Next 30" button 5. The difference in your font sizes on the sidebar is too large. Make it smaller 6. The names of the cities, like 'Paris' have some wierd dots before them 7. "Feature Artists"? Do you mean featured artists? 8. I don't like music auto-playing on a website. Inform me first. 9. Your favicon colors suck. No seriously, those are very dull colors - Now here are some things you should do 1. Go to one of the online avatar creators and make yourself a vector avatar with big ears. It will give your site a more friendly look 2. Drop that big-ass adsense banner, it makes your site look cheao 3. Change the color scheme slightly to a more appealing color. Mixing gray and brown is not good 4. Importat: When I search I want to see the artists I searched for in the middle, not some features artists. Show more results in the middle, the sideways display is a bit strange 5. Explain what the map does, I could not figure it out. 6. Clicking next did not work -- Things you did good 1. Nice page after the front page 2. I like the photoshop work 3. It's focused on a problem. I just wish it would just show me what I want, which is musicians in my town this weekend and next weekend.

Thanks Max, First off, let me apologize for the stupid mistake with the 'next' page not working. I think I've fixed it now. Testing this morning after google launched a new version of the Map API which broke my site, so ...anyway, my bad...bad me... I laughed at the 'favicon colors suck' comment, I just haven't had a chance to get a good new favicon going, so I left the old one. I have two questions for you 1) what would I do with the avatar I would create? you mean for a new logo? or as an avatar? or just stick it somewhere?? 2) the site should have shown you musicians in your town, if google could't find you by IP address, than it would show you everything. Or were you saying that it wouldn't show you this or next weekend because of the 'next' buttons not showing up? Hopefully I'll be able to get 'date ranges' going in the next few weeks, but if you select the 'day' from the filter, it should give you the shows in your area. Thanks again for the comments. I likely won't be doing a FULL redo of the site again, but I'll be doing another review and will be making more changes of course.

  Hey Pete good job, I didn't see the original launch but I'm fairly impressed with what you have now. The myspace music playing is really good and I do think it should auto start after you click on an artist. The map didnt really do anything for me but I noticed most of the gigs in my area (Perth Western Australia) didnt have any street address mentioned. Anyway Congrats, I like.
