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.

Liberty - Thinking It Over
19 September 2001 | 15:12:21 GMT/UTC

'Thinking It Over'This is the 'failed' Popstars. Five people who did not make it into Hear'say.

This certainly looks more promising than Hear'say's 'music'. Thinking It Over was produced by ex-Artful Dodger Pete Deveraux and the Wideboys. The single features remixes from the Wideboys, Almighty and the superstar DJ that is Boy George.

This group has received only a fraction of the attention that the aforementioned winning Popstars enjoyed but this single is definitely better, although that is not saying a huge amount.

Liberty have got the better record, maybe they will be just a little bit more successful than Hear'say - more than two singles and an album.
