Who could cover a David Bowie song, already covered by Kurt Cobain, and still give you something worth hearing?
Alex Painter, that's who. (That's the other thin white Duke).
Today's free Download of the Day is 'The Man Who Sold the World' by Painter's Great Pagans.
The track features as part of a huge Bowie tribute project by God is in the TV - go here for dozens of Bowie covers specially made by their favourite current artists.
You can download 'The Man Who Sold the World' from Great Pagans' Soundcloud, and buy their original music on their Bandcamp.
If you've never heard them before, this is Bowie's original, and this is the famous Nirvana cover.

Free Download of the Day - 20th March 2013 - 'What Happen'd (live at Maps) by SJ Esau
Download of the Day posts now appear first on the Heartbeat of a Rabbit blog.
In the last Heartbeat of a Rabbit post, I mentioned Cajita's avowed 'mean live loop skills'. (It was Annie Hysterical who avowed them, by the way - to be precise, she said, 'he knows what he's doing').
The meanest live loop skills I have ever seen belong to yet another Bristol musician, SJ Esau. His live set in general is a great collision of talent and self-deprecation, as he alternates between astonishing you with his ability to build a song in front of your very eyes with his bare hands - and then, invariably, apologising for doing so.
An interview on the Bologna-based station 'Maps' is online including 3 tracks for free download. 'What Happen'd' is my Download of the Day.
Click here for the interview and download links and here to follow SJ Esau on Facebook.

Free Download of the Day: 'Willkommen Patchwerk' by Willkommen Records
Download of the Day posts now appear first on the Heartbeat of a Rabbit blog.
Today's free download of the day is 'Willkommen Patchwerk' by Wilkommen Records. The label invited a panoply of artists with some connection to them to submit thirty seconds of sound, and stitched them all together, simply in the order they arrived.
Contributing artists include Heartbeat of a Rabbit favourites such as Gravenhurst, This Is the Kit, Rachael Dadd & Ichi, Laish and Birdengine. It's a brilliant introduction to the label and a mysterious journey of a composition in its own right.
You can download the Patchwerk from Willkommen's Soundcloud and find out more about the label on their website.
