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.

Gallaghers Attack Eminem, Gorillaz And Posh Spice
24 September 2001 | 19:49:39 GMT/UTC

Gorillaz: Oasis' Noel and Liam Gallagher have attacked Eminem, Gorillaz and Victoria Beckham.

Speaking to the NME, frontman Liam said that the Gorillaz' music was like that of "three-year-olds". "What's that nonsense that's on the radio? It's like three-year-olds' music, worse than Steps. Whatever happened to [Damon Albarn's] beloved Blur?"

Songwriter Noel had a go at Eminem. He said that he had watched the rapper in front of 60,000 people in Reading: "I was looking at the 60,000 people who were goin' mad thinking 'You lot don't half deserve each other'. People set their standards too low in their idols these days."

Liam Gallagher then went on to attack Victoria Beckham. He said that she "can't even chew chewing gum and walk in a straight line at the same time, let alone write a book. Why is Posh Beckham writing a book of her memoirs?"

Liam also spoke about the birth of his new son Gene: "There's too many things going on in our lives to be sittin' around doing cocaine and drinking all day long," he said. "There's nappies to be changed and I'm great at it. There's trainers to be bought. And there's hair to be cut. And there's winks to be winked. Y'know what I mean?"
