I conquered it. XHTML and CSS positioning aren’t that bad once you get the hang of it, I suppose. I started with a simple redesign, but left it open for some neat things in the future. As neat as you can get for a site with crappy content like this. :)

Note: Internet Explorer lacks transparent PNG support, so the whole look & feel of the site is different than I had intended. I am lazy, and don’t want to fix these things, so if you realy want to ‘experience’ the site (haha, rrrrrright), use Opera or Mozilla.

Thanks go out to: Jeffrey Zeldman for the inspiration to do such a thing. Dave Shea and his css Zen Garden for the technique, reference, and inspiration. And of course, the marvelous World Wide Web Consortium, W3 Schools, and Google for reference.

This design involves a large Russian(?) record, and I got the image from this stock picture by temabinastock at DeviantArt.

On the left, top 5 artists I’ve been listening to for the past week. Changes dynamically, thanks to Listen-To.com. 1448 users and growing strong, and I have yet to put $1 into it. Hooray for self-funding websites. But anyway, the top five artists. I have found a new love for Q and Not U. I don’t know what it is, but I cannot stop listening to them, and Copeland. Copeland put a mp3 up on their website; it’s an older version of Testing the Strong Ones that I am enjoying.

And, I will close this with a small musical update..
1) New Type-O-Negative: Poo.
2) New Metallica: Uber-Poo.
3) New Sense Field: Cool.

Whew.
