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.

Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
2 March 2001 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

This is a re-issue of the classic Alice Cooper album Billion Dollar Babies. The 'deluxe edition' includes a special live CD recorded in 1973. The album opens with Hello Hooray - an amazing anthemic guitar track. Following is Raped And Freezin', containing an awesome guitar riff with a catchy melody.

Track four is the title track which is followed by Unfinished Sweet, again with a strong guitar riff featuring a bit of the James Bond theme if you listen carefully, it's nearly an instrumental (i.e. very little vocal).

All of the tracks seem to contain or at least begin with short guitar riffs, as demonstrated by track five, No More Mr Nice Guy which sounds like some 70's TV theme tune - while still being very good.

Generation Landslide starts as if it could be by the Happy Mondays - there's a lot of variety in this album.

The second disc contains all the tracks on the first album recorded live in 1973. This album is awesome, go and buy it now - even if you don't like School's Out!


5/5
