Q: Who is the All Music Guide paying to do its Web design, and sweet lord, why?

Also consider upgrading that .2 megapixel digital camera

A: Dear Mr. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, "Tom" to the playas,

Love the reviews. But hey, have you heard of this "AJAX" thing that all the kids are talking about? I encourage you to look into it the next time your company decides to write a check to its Web designers.

It may cost you a little bit in the short term, but in the long term, it will save you about a million billion dollars in hosting fees. It will also save me about a million billion seconds in wasted time. Thanks, man. And you're welcome.

Sincerely,
Dean Simakis

P.S.: Oh, while I'm picking nits: Next time you're going to build the Web's most comprehensive music site, you might want to take into consideration this whole "Google" craze. I'm just blue-skying here.

P.P.S.: What is it with dudes named Tom and shitty Web design, anyway?
