When I was callow and 15, I heard a cover of David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" by San Fran psych-rockers Zen Guerilla. For my dad, there's no else but Bowie, and having been surrounded by his music from the day I was born, ZG's astronaut-on-blow take on the original was something of a revelation—it seemed wild and precocious to challenge the authority of the greatest solo artist who ever lived. Fast forward to early 2010, and A Place To Bury Strangers are burying The Thin White Duke's genius in a familiar scumfuck scuzz. I realised long ago, though, that Bowie's genius lay in his versatility. As such the covers by Vivian Girls, Warpaint, Carla Bruni, Duran Duran and others collected by Manimal Vinyl for a 42-track comp—the proceeds of which will go to War Child UK—seem more like tributes than pop treason. You only have to hear the hard 'G' APTBS put in "Suffragette City" to know the beauty of this music is that everyone finds their own way in.
