    • 58 DJ Zinc/DJ Hype - Casino Royale

Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

28 Anastacia - Cowboys and Kisses :O ===

# "She's a lucky man, with fire in her hand..." # :)

15 Musique Vs U2 - New Years Dub

You can guess what this is about. Apparently Bono actually likes it, but then given some of their recent output he does seem to be going tone deaf.

6 3lw - No More :O ===

Well what do you know - another black girl band who pretend to be sassy with attitude. Yo, def, know what time it is? Time to switch off, that's when.

5 Radiohead - Pyramid Song * !!!

Radiohead defy convention yet again with a constant series of notes that seem to contradict each other, such is the way this track has been written.

With Thom Yorke's meandering vocals, I haven't the first idea what he's on about but, coupled with the video, if it doesn't evoke any emotion within you, you're not human.

3 Dido - Thank You

A big hit because it provided the chorus for Eminem's "Stan", but on its own it's a rather wispy affair that I've heard too many times now to really enjoy it.

1 (NEW) DJ Pied Piper - Do You Really Like It :O === *1st Week at No.1*

Not in the slightest.

This starts a new run of singles going straight in at No.1 :

  • 1. DJ Pied Piper - Do You Really Like It

Dominator's Top 50 of 2000

22. David Bowie - Survive

Making No. 28 in Feb last year, this was the first of three 'singles of the week' in the same week for the Thin White Duke for this superb single, with a video to match, about a man who just sits and watches the whole world go by.. while waiting for his egg to boil.

Bowie contributed a music soundtrack to the game Nomad Soul, comprising of tracks from his album, "...hours".

This single was followed up with Seven (No.32, July 2000).
