David Bowie, "Ashes to Ashes"

Well, if anything qualifies as "unnecessary and half-assed" cover, it's this one, but I figured I'd share.  I believe it was the start of 2013 that Roady and I took a stab at "Ashes to Ashes" off Bowie's "Scary Monsters" album from 1980.  The song has been a fave for a long time, since my sister brought a copy home (insert old man voice) "back in the WLIR days, when you had to ask the store clerk to unlock the cabinet and retrieve the golddang cassette tape for you".  That album was confusing and intimidating and mysterious and I just didn't get most of it for decades, but parts of it lodged in the ol' brainpan, and this was obviously the hit.

Anyway, my appreciation for Bowie is bottomless, and when I love a record of his (or, more typically, individual cuts off a record) that love is strong indeed.  I honestly wish we had more covers in the vaults, but perhaps in the future...
