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.

Grand Theft Audio - We Luv U
21 February 2001 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

We Luv U is the debut single from Grand Theft Audio; , Chris McCormack (former member of 3 Colours Red), Ritch Battersby and Ralph Jezzard (who produced and co-wrote EMF's Unbelievable). They have been described as "the bastard offspring of some unholy union between the Beastie Boys, AC/DC and the Prodigy."

The single is infact a mix of all the above artists with a bit of the Sex Pistols, an anthemic chorus with a punk attitude, containing the dance beats of the Prodigy and the guitar riffs of AC/DC.

Awesome. An album, Blame Everyone will be released later this year.
