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

The Doors - Riders on the Storm (Official Audio)

Heard it just now on Radio Freccia, and since it was mentioned lately, here, in connection to something I can't quite remember, I felt a compulsive urge to link the video.
I want to reassure the Noble: I don’t think this radio has anything to do with HIM, the prophet of Scorreggio, but I assure you it’s MUCH better than that virgin over there, now deflowered by dogs & pigs.

Jim Morrison... who was he... does he have anything to do, I don't know, with lizards?

Francesco De Gregori - Titanic (Official Audio)

Notice, here, what I hoped was a metonymy but instead is a simple metaphor: that is, the use of the noun "ice." There are much more evocative things in The Prince, but this piece is almost surgical in its ruthless vividness: you get what I mean: ugh! The whole album is beautiful, what can I say, but this thing was pointed out to me by my friend Valentino (in name and in fact) who taught me one fundamental thing: "Marco: stop listening to music as a musician! That way you'll never understand a damn thing!"

I have never forgotten (!) this axiom. And the funny thing is he says he doesn’t remember telling me. But he’s lying, because despite being my age, after 45 years in a steel mill working three shifts, he’s retired, while I still have three years to go! So a bit of indulgence...

Dan Auerbach - I Want Some More (with lyrics)

Dan Auerbach: "Heartbroken, In Disrepair"

It was and still is really beautiful, I think it was the debut, this now old album by Auerbach, featuring strong tracks reminiscent of his early Black Keys and ballads where you can find both Van Morrison and Mr. Everett…
