This is a fantastic collection of amazing covers of Bowie songs. I had a lot of fun putting this one together, and foundd a ton of cool Bowie covers (on top of all the ones I already had.. seems a lot of bands like Bowie!).. and a ton of not-so-cool covers, but those got eliminated. What is left here is the best of the best, a nearly full mixtape of awesome Bowie covers! What more could you want!?
tracklist
| 1 | Mates of State : Starman |
|
I'll start this mix off with one half of the inspiration for it. I recently got my hands on the All Day EP and was pleasantly surprised to hear this awesome cover on it!

| 7 | Rilo Kiley : Rock N Roll Suicide |

A job well done by Rilo Kiley on this cover. I absolutely love this album.. well its more of a bootleg than an album. I got it off a Rilo Kiley fansite, but its no longer there. If anyone wants a copy of this bootleg, just request it and I'll gladly sendspace it for you! I just love Jenny Lewis's voice! SHOW MORE

I've heard good things about this band, though I've never actually heard them. This is the first song I've heard from them and I must say that I am pleased.

| 11 | Travis : All the Young Dudes (live 2001-06-05) |

I haven't listened to much Travis. What I've heard reminds me of Radiohead kindof, which is a good thing. I found this great cover on Soulseek and thought it was FAR superior to the Ozzy version.

I've been working on a Dylan one for almost 2 years now.. problem is, I'm such a huge Dylan fan that barely anything is good enough to make the cut for me!

I'd recommend the Yann Tierson soundtrack to the French film Amelie if you can lay your hands on it.

Like the idea of taking a favourite artist and compiling a good mix of covers. Hmm? Wonder how many quality ones can be done? I've dozens of Dylan, Beatles, and Neil Young covers here, but they'd be easy...

Good Job! Most people think nirvana wrote that song. Not that I think you would but it just makes me happy.

A few years ago, I got a CD of Bowie covers cover mounted on some UK music mag. This mix is better!

Excellent mix. I need to hear Turbonegro covering Bowie. I personally can't stand any cover of "Heroes." The Wallflowers killed it for everyone, even Blondie. Thanks so much for the link. I would like to make a mix just like this, because some of my favorites are not here. Choice mix.

God Turbonegro are so amazing. They make me laugh with the most scandinavian joy i can muster.... check out the dresden dolls cover of life on mars, also. it is quite good.

i heard that david bowie once killed a man for insulting his swagger, solidifying his badassness. americans should be afraid of HIM.
