its funny how musical tastes change. i was at the beachland a couple weeks before this seeing a band i no longer listen to. at that time i knew nothing of arcade fire. now i love them. i now kick myself for not seeing them then.
Not a bad rendition of this song but obviously you cannot beat the original by Bowie-to anyone interested check ou the version by Icehouse they do it well.
i love arcade fire and bowie even more, but this cover is pretty rotten. the background synth thing is like someone has a car alarm goin off. and it does suck they got into politics. your cool but don't preach to me.
i thankfully consume their content, i just wish i could enjoy it without having to dodge recycled political rhetoric. of course they have the right, but i don't have to like it. ron paul '12
Well being a BOWIE follower for, well since the Ziggy days, this is a good cover. But, no one puts the intensity that BOWIE puts into this song, still a good job. enjoy..
this is a god awful cover.... i can't believe bowie likes this band

you know what? bands don't owe it to you to not get into politics. they are their own people with their own opinions and own decisions.
your consuming THEIR content, if you dont like their music, their ethics or their politicing, find another band. its as simple as that.

Brilliant version better than by anyone else I've heard cover it. Better dare I say than some of Bowies efforts in the past.
