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.

13 September 2001 | 15:32:08 GMT/UTC

REM have posted a message on their website about the terrorist attacks in the United StatesREM have posted a message on their official website (www.remhq.com) about the terrorist attacks in the United States.

The band said that it was hard to know what to say. They described it as "the saddest one any of us have ever experienced".

The statement continued: "On so many levels, our world is changed forever, and it was pretty shaky anyway. The office has been getting calls inquiring as to the guys and staff, and we are all fine...other than the grief and sadness overwhelming everyone right now. Needless to say, our thoughts, prayers and hearts go out to the many people horribly affected by the mindless violence yesterday."
