Music Goes On - Reviews - Mogwai

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.

Mogwai - My Father, My King
13 October 2001 | 12:11:39 GMT/UTC
Release: 1 January 1970 | 0:00:00 (Rock Action/Pias)

'My Father, My King' It's not often that I get to talk about Jewish hymns. This is the new single from Mogwai, Avinu Malkeynu - a traditional Jewish humn which the band have rechristened My Father, My King.

The single - if that's what you can call it - runs for over twenty minutes so isn't likely to appear on Radio One's playlist.

Essentially it's just a simple chord-sequence repeated and given new life each time.

Good, if you like this sort of stuff.
