He just has one large sidebar with several tables inside or tables created with CSS. CSS might be something like:

Code:

.right { margin-left: 60%; float: right; width: 300px; height: 100%; position: absolute;}
.rightmusic {background-image: url(roundedsquares.gif); height: 200px; padding-bottom: 40px;}
.rightmyspace {background-image: url(roundedsquares.gif); height: 200px; padding-bottom: 40px;}
.......

and his HTML would be:

Code:

<div class="right">
<div class="rightmusic"><h3>Music</h3><p>music content here</p></div>
<div class="rightmyspace"><h3><Myspace</h3><p>myspace content here</p></div>
.....
</div>
