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.

Radiohead will be staging a mini-festival at South Park in Headington, Oxford on 7 July 2001. Tickets will cost £27.50 and will go on sale this Friday (16 March) through Radiohead's ticket line (0870 730 7305), the bands' website (www.radiohead.com) and the Box Office (The Zodiac, 190 Cowley Road, Oxford, OX4 1UE).
