Music Goes On - News - Sling Food At Travis And Win Signed Artwork

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.

Travis Fans of Travis will be able to win signed artwork in an online food-fight game. It is based on the video for the new single Sing (released 28 May) which features a food fight.

Players have one minute to avoid flying food while pelting the band with cakes and bananas. The person with the highest score on 15 June will win exclusive framed and signed artwork. The Sing Fling game has a top 20 high score board so you can keep tabs on how you are doingcompared to other fans of the band. You can play the game at www.travisonline.com.

The single will be released on 28 May with an album, The Invisible Band following on 11 June.
