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.

Lee Griffiths - Feeling The Strain
31 December 1969 | 18:59:59 GMT/UTC

A summery track from Lee Griffiths, taken from the album Northern Songs but this is very different from the album version, this single version is faster, it features electric guitars and a harmonica - the album version is slower and has a more acoustic sound.

Feeling The Strain is followed by Do It Again, this sounds more like the tracks on the album. Quite slow, vocals and an acoustic guitar.

The final track Funky Junky Monkey is faster than the last track, not as good, needs a better melody.

Brilliant A-side, good melody, great production.


4/5
