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. |

Badly Drawn Boy's famous hat has been returned, just 45 minutes before his 5pm deadline,
it was stolen yesterday in the Night & Day CafĂ on Oldham Street in Manchester city centre
where a man simply pulled the hat off Damon Gough's head.
