Music Goes On - Reviews - Orange Can

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.

Orange Can - Mornin' Son
6 October 2001 | 12:33:59 GMT/UTC
Release: 1 January 1970 | 0:00:00 (Regal)

'Mornin' Son' Orange Can: Four guys from South London who return from a year long recording break with Mornin' Son.

It is one of those typical Regal (their record label) recordings. Similar to the the Beta Band, and do you remember King Biscuit Time?

Soft, slow vocals with a simple melody over a great backing-track. Nothing wrong with it, just that we have heard it all before.

Not bad but nothing special. There is more to come on Home Burns, an album which will be out later this month.
