Things look different on Stereogum! The day before SXSW is as good a time as any to launch a redesign [Oh wait, no it's not. Dammit.]. Hope you enjoy the improved navigation and community features. You’ll notice that the page is now formatted especially for people who live in 2008. Also, we cleaned up the logo and … removed the headphones. We’ve been itching to do that for a while. Most important: you can now have a user profile. Go here to register your name and upload a clever avatar before someone beats you to it. As part of the upgrade, we’ve added nested comment functionality (respond to someone’s comment and your reply will be indented underneath) and comment ranking. Additional community features will be rolled out in the near future. You can still comment anonymously, but registered users’ comments will appear in darker text, and thus be taken more seriously or something like that! We are already getting some valuable feedback, so thanks. Keep it coming. There are still some bugs being exterminated, but if you have any technical problems, do post ‘em in the comments or contact web@stereogum.com.

It´s slightly better. Even tough I used to love the old look. Oh, just a note: please, no heads in CAPS would be way better for reading.
Congrats for the new fashionist design. ;-)
How about a forum?
first, we’ll nail down the new design/features, then we’ll spec out something for the forums.
For once, a site redesign that I actually like.
can i just say, loud and clear, stop with the Liam Finn. please. my god. he’s not music he’s useless
I just noticed that if I preview my comments, the layout switches back to the old Stereogum layout. Glitch? I’m not sure if a preview’d post goes out or not, since I usually “Back” it to the original comment page.
Thought I’d mention it.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
and perhaps it could be possible to choose layouts? Because I personally like the old one.
yeah, wanted to replace that with a live comment preview, but dropped it for launch. will fix- thanks for the reminder!
love the new look.
Visually confusing
Difficult to read and follow
Looks cheap
This used to be one of my favorite sites to read but now it seems like hard work
A rethink with good graphic designers is needed!!!!!

This looks like a cheap template. Or an Internet music blog version of the Pennysaver or something.
Either way, horrible.
i dont like the different commenting thing… having to be logged in to be in black it makes it seem less likely for people to read the grey ones
