I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

John Lennon's Limo Up For Auction
27 March 2001 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

A limousine that once belonged to John Lennon is to be auctioned and is expected to sell for up to £500,000. It is a white Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman (Limousine) with a black velvet interior which was exclusively designed for the ex-Beatle in 1969. Four years later, in 1973 he sold the car to George Harrison who in 1975 sold it to Mary Wilson (Supremes).

Among the other 110 lots available at the auction organised by Fleetwood Owen (Mick Fleetwood's auction house) are two hand-written poems by Jim Morrison (Doors) expected to fetch £2,500 each, letters written by Elvis Presley, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, a Czech Trabant car which is similar to the one on the cover of U2's Achtung Baby and a piano which was kept in John Lennon's apartment until 1979.
