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.

Bob Geldof Says NetAid Shouldn't Have Gone Ahead
24 May 2000 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

Former Boomtown Rats frontman, Sir Bob Geldof said that Bono (U2) and Harvey Goldsmith shouldn't have gone ahead with NetAid.

Bob Geldof was knighted, in the eighties, for his role in Live Aid. He said, about NetAid, "I didn't think it was up to much as an idea for a major charity event, it was a nice objective, but the way it was to be carried out I didn't think was up-to-much."
