Bowie, Arcade Fire collaborate on iTunes fundraiser
The great David Bowie has collaborated on a live version of Arcade Fire's Wake Up, which the artists recorded at last month's Fashion Rocks event in New York City. Starting next Monday, the 14th, the track will be made available on iTunes for seven days, and all proceeds will go to hurricane Katrina relief efforts.I'm unfamiliar with Arcade Fire, but as a Bowie fan I'll certainly check this out.

#12 You can only find this track in the UK store. I was also hoping they would make it available in the US Store... maybe they will soon.

David Bowie came out to sing with the band for the encore and my friends and I went nuts! It was an awesome surprise appearance. I highly recommend that you check out The Arcade Fire if you haven't listened to them.
