TV on the Radio will contributing a cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” to the compilation

War Child, the charity that provides aid to children in war-torn regions, has a really wonderful compilation lined up for 2009. They asked a ton of rock legends to pick one song of theirs and nominate a new-ish band to cover it. That means that when you see that when you see that Beck is covering Bob Dylan’s “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat,” know that Dylan (or at least someone close to him) digs on Beck and thought he’d do it justice.

1. Beck (Bob Dylan – “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat”)
2. The Kooks (The Kinks – “Victoria”)
3. The Hold Steady (Bruce Springsteen – “Atlantic City”)
4. Hot Chip (Joy Division – “Transmission”)
5. Lily Allen feat. Mick Jones (The Clash – “Straight To Hell”)
6. Yeah Yeah Yeahs (The Ramones – “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker”)
7. Franz Ferdinand (Blondie – “Call Me”)
8. Duffy (Paul McCartney – “Live And Let Die”)
9. Estelle (Stevie Wonder – “Superstition”)
10. Rufus Wainwright (Brian Wilson -” Wonderful & Song For Children”)
11. Scissor Sisters (Roxy Music – “Do The Strand”)
12. Peaches (Iggy Pop – “Search And Destroy”)
13. Adam Cohen (Leonard Cohen – “Take This Waltz”)
14. Elbow (U2 – “Running To Stand Still”)
15. The Like (Elvis Costello – “You Belong To Me”)
