thanx for the comments. we just launched it actually, so if you check it again this week, got some extra stuff lah. but yeah its true that a general user might not know what's going on.

anyway, the reason i'm keeping the site simple (programmerish design as you put it) is that the server will be holding at least 30 - 50 .flvs (at least 40MB each), so trying to keep the site extra light.

and also had to design something "neutral" since the program will be featuring malaysian musicians from all sorts of genres because different genres use different graphical elements (hip hop uses a lot of graffiti related graphics, and folk music dont appreciate those types).

dont want visual diarrhea (eg gua.com.my). so basically, dont want the design to overshadow / misinterpret the actual content (videos). and yea, this website is actually focused on content.

but did you get a look at the content (video) at all?
