We may have lost David Bowie earlier this year (something I'm not wholly still ready to give in to), but with all of the activity from his camp that includes his Lazarus album and stage show, box sets, and general news, we seem to be getting more music from the master than ever. Unsurprising, but no less welcome, is a new tribute album called Let The Children Boogie, an "all ages album dedicated to the music and artistry of David Bowie, benefiting the It gets Better Project."
Among the great list of artists involved (track list below), Ted Leo gives a great, fun rendition of "Heroes". Turn it up, let loose, and let all the children boogie, indeed.
