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.

Liam Gallagher: "U2 Blew My Head Off"
20 August 2001 | 8:53:00 GMT/UTC

Liam GallagherLiam Gallagher has said that U2's show at London's Earls Cout last night (19 August) "blew his head off".

The Oasis frontman told the Sun newspaper: "This was one of the greatest performances I've seen. Bono gives 129% - it blew my head off. I couldn't take my eyes off him. This sets the standard for other bands. It's a different experience to Oasis but I've never seen anything like it. It has made me look at things in a different way. I know it's going to be hard to top something like this."

According to Ananova Bono dedicated the encore of One to Liam.

U2 have still to play two shows at Earls Court on 21 and 22 August as part of their Elevation tour. Tickets for which sold out in just one hour on 9 March.

The band have also been granted permission to perform two shows at Dublin's Slane Castle on 25 August and 1 September.
