My entry for the Bowie MeFi Music Challenge
I stumbled across this challenge just now, so I was not assigned a song. But, I did happen to have this file on my laptop, which I am happy to throw into the ring.
I recorded this on a wintery December afternoon in 2005 as a test of my new ProTools setup in my apartment.

You recorded those drums in your apartment? Hews pretty closely to the original track, good sounds overall.

indeed. The secret being that they're Roland V-Drums. Not cheap (That set, a TD-20, was $6K or so in 2005), but I hadn't had my acoustic kit set up since 2000 when I moved into Manhattan, and they were worth every penny. Still are, in fact.

Funny, I like the early 90s californian hard rock frame built around this. Your musicianship is impressive...

It's a pretty straight cover obviously, but I still like how your different gear and different era make the song sound.
