Music Goes On - Reviews - Strokes

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.

Strokes - Last Nite

Release: 1 January 1970 | 0:00:00 (Rough Trade)

'Last Nite' Yes, the Strokes are brilliant; yes, the album is brilliant; yes, this single is brilliant. But they're going to have to come up with some more music before the press who gave them all that hype bring them back down to Earth again.

Last Nite is one of the best tracks on the New York five-piece's debut Is This It? album. Julian Casablancas' back-of-throat, distorted vocals rip through your speakers over those fantastic guitar chords.

Well done Strokes but don't forget to keep up the good work.
