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.

Weezer - Island In The Sun
11 October 2001 | 19:04:45 GMT/UTC
Release: 1 January 1970 | 0:00:00 (Geffen/Universal)

WeezerWritten by frontman Rivers Cuomo Island In The Sun is Weezer's fantastically catchy new single.

Lifted from the band's recent Green Album the track, had it been released earlier this year - in July maybe, could have been one of the biggest records of the summer. But it wasn't, instead the single receives an autumn release.

Island In The Sun is a simple guitar track with a catchy short riff and fantastic melodies and harmonies over the top.

The single will keep everybody in summer 2001 mood for at least three minutes. Brilliant.
