Music Goes On - Reviews - Gorillaz

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.

Gorillaz - 19-2000
22 June 2001 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

19-2000 is the follow-up to Gorillaz's huge Clint Eastwood.

The CD version contains the Original Mix (slower) and the version that Radio 1 has A-listed, the Soulchild Mix.

It is very different to Clint Eastwood as some fans may have expected, the album (entitled Gorillaz) is very diverse.

The video features the band being attacked by flying saucers, caught in a huge petrol station explosion and coming face to face with a 250-foot moode. Jamie Hewlett said, "The idea for the video came to me when the head of the record company was leaning on my windpipe."

Like Clint Eastwood this is very catchy. It will greatly increase the size of the band's fan base. Fantastic.
