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.

Andrew WK - Party Hard
21 October 2001 | 19:26:37 GMT/UTC
Release: 1 January 1970 | 0:00:00 (Mercury)

'Party Hard'Andrew WK — he's from New York, this is his debut single, he's never played live here in the UK but he's already been labelled next year's biggest star. Isn't that the Strokes though? You mean there's another hyped American entering our music scene with his own individual style of rock?

Oh good, and this one's got some diversity as well. The single features head-banging guitar riffs over pounding beats while Andrew WK screams something over the top. "Let's get a party going," he sings through his smashed guitars and broken microphone.

Here's the guitar riffs the people who found the Strokes too soft have been waiting for. Party Hard, very hard.
