I gave this a shot, and it's pretty cool - but it seems like some of the javascript is a bit superfluous, and I was confused by the interface. On this page: http://d.pr/i/e0hN - why are there no thumbnails? I was expecting that box to have a picture inside it (and I was expecting clicking it to take me somewhere).
On the New Music! page, I expected clicking on the album boxes (not just the thumbnails) to load up the albums for me to take a look at. It took me a second to figure out I needed to click on the thumbnails - and having to wait for something to load (Ajax, I'm guessing?) was a bit strange. I was expecting that click to be near instantaneous.
I'm sure the slow bits are just because you're getting hammered today - cool service, and good luck!
