...I am dusting off this old journal in preparation of my David Bowie review, which I will eventually post. I thought up a rough sketch of it and the last thing to do is type it out, post it and wait for approval. In the meantime I thought I would post three of my favorite Bowie covers as a precursor to it. There is something about a band doing a Bowie cover that draws me in to be a fan of theirs. I think they can't be all that bad if they are fans of Bowie. The first time I heard each of these songs it was like a Eureka moment for me where I felt stumble across something that is one of the best thing I ever heard. Bauhaus knocks it out of the ballpark with their guitars.The Wallflowers do a respectable Heroes cover. And Kevin Barnes' vocals are otherworldly. It's if they tapped into some kind of comic coolness.
Bauhaus - Ziggy Stardust
The Wallflowers - Heroes
of Montreal: Starman
