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.

Coldplay, Toploader, Ash To Play At 'Farm Aid'
5 September 2001 | 18:23:21 GMT/UTC

ColdplayColdplay, Toploader, Ash and Reef have all been confirmed to play at the Farm Aid 2001 concert at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on 27 October 2001.

The man behind Farm Aid is dairy farmer and Glastobury Festival organiser Michael Eavis. Proceeds from the Farm Aid event will go to help farmers and their communities across the UK whose lives have been affected directly and indirectly by the foot and mouth epidemic.

More acts are still to be announced but it is unlikely that rumoured appearances from U2 and Radiohead will happen.
