Another #betterthanoriginal today is from a band I thought had disbanded, but according to the internet, they still seem to be active: Man or Astroman. After playing with surf and noise in the '90s and igniting live audiences with their theremin, they left behind a few albums ranging from excellent to decent. And also some covers, few but good. For example, this one, which I believe is better than the Talking Heads' version: Television Man
 
#betterthanoriginal again (today it goes like this), the great Gories who will soon finally return to Italian soil, redo a horrible song from 79 by the Machine, making it wonderful as only they could do:
The Gories-There But For The Grace Of God Go I
 
For the #betterthanoriginal series, I'm sharing one of my favorite bands that covers a song I've always found cloying by the Beach Boys, making it somehow acceptable: Pere Ubu - Surfer Girl
 
When you bring together in an incredible store like Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville two titans of country western like Billy Strings and Marcus King, magic can happen, like this cover of "Summertime"…
Summertime - Billy Strings & Marcus King
Billy alone deserves a deep dive on his career sooner or later, especially on where he's headed lately after his marriage (officiated by Les Claypool!!!). I'll also leave you the link to his latest psychedelic work.
