We've been talking a bit about Scarlett Johansson's Waits covers recently, but now Ziggy Stardust has spoken. As we mentioned, David Bowie sings on Anywhere I Lay My Head, more specifically on "Falling Down' and "Fannin' Street." Seems like he dug the experience. As he posted on his official site, "The songs are great, really good Tom Waits stuff, and Scarlett's performances are mystical and twice cool." Yeah, we often think Scarlett's twice cool, too. He adds, "She creates a mood that could have been summoned by someone like Margery Latimer or Jeanette Winterson." Nice way to drop in a reference to the author of Sexing The Cherry, you dog.
