Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

29 Cleopatra – Come and Get MeI had to laugh when I saw Cleopatra on last week’s Lottery show trying topromote Hulme in Manchester as the place to be. It’s the biggest dump in theworld and no amount of money can make it look good.

16 Placebo – Taste in Men * !!!Although it has a highly-repetitive line of “change your taste in men”,it’s an exceptionally well-done track that doesn’t sound like it belongs inthe charts because it verges too far on the gothic sides of music.

It gets regular airplay on MTV2 and I also heard it on Saturday night inManchester’s Mutz Nutz club, the first time I’d been in there (andit’s well-recommended, and no I didn’t get paid to say that 🙂

3 Louise – 2 FacedA rather mediocre effort from the achingly-gorgeous ex-Eternal singer.

1 Five & Queen – We Will Rock You :O === *1st Week at No.1*Is it really with ‘Queen’ or just Brian May on the cover? Either way,it’s pointless and atrocious, compared to the original.

    Dominator’s Top 50 of 1999

    30. Jungle Brothers – VIPMaking No.33 in July last year, I wouldn’t normally entertain this band on myradio but on the few times I heard it, it’s obvious it’s a decent, funky trackfor blasting out loud.

    The end bit :

    Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me.

    Bye for now,

    Dominator
