Dominator’s Top 50 of 1998
45. Skinny – Failure
The single of the week that made No.31 in April last year, this is a weirdsong from a new band who remind me a little of It’s Immaterial. The video forthis track had been shown twice on the Chart Show in their cheapo video slot,during which the band were arrested for playing where they shouldn’t, and itwas all captured on camera…
The end bit :
Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me atCharts Request to tell me.
Bye for now,
Dominator
