New.fm (aka the Last.fm site now = Crap.fm)

Last.fm just broke just about every graphic design law in existence. They obliterated their navigation, their design, their corporate indentity--everything has changed. The site has changed far too dramatically and I doubt long time users and new users alike (including myself) will embrace the drastic change with open arms.

They had a great look going, it was unique, it was last.fm. Now it's... I dunno... New.fm. I really enjoyed the service and the site. Simply put, this blows.

Just yesterday I was patting the site on the back, referring friends left and right, telling them to get accounts and add me. How things can change in 24 hours. The service is still there but the site has lost its identity to me. I just got used to where everything was too.

Note to Last.fm: READ UP and then change it back! Change it back quick or I will go back to the familiar look and feel of purevolume... and I'm sure I'm not alone.

(They even changed their logo! HELLO? THAT'S THE MOST SACRED ITEM OF YOUR BUSINESS, DO NOT TOUCH IT!)
