James Iha's Essential David Bowie Playlist
If you couldn't tell former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha is a David Bowie fanatic by listening to his second solo album Look to the Sky, there's no way you'd miss that after watching the video for "To Who Knows Where." A stylized tribute to Bowie's 1976 sci-fi flick The Man Who Fell to Earth, Iha's must-see clip is filled with awesomely cheesy camera zooms and otherworldly Bowie mannerisms.
We sat down with Iha to talk about his homage to the Thin White Duke and how he got Bowie's pianist of 30 years to play on his first solo album in 14 years. Iha also walked us through a killer playlist of some of his favorite David Bowie tracks, from classic hits like "Ashes to Ashes" to deeper cuts like "Boys Keep Swinging." Give a listen to that below.
