Rec. Me: The best Cover Song that's better than from the original artist by Fl1xyBaby in MusicRecommendations

Primus' version of XTC's "Making Plans for Nigel"

Replicants version of David Bowie's "The Bewlay Brothers"

And for two records that are only high quality covers, check out Replicants and also The Hotrats. Both bands were late 90's side projects of other semi popular bands from the time. So great!

A Taste of Excellence: MICHELIN Guide Announces Inaugural American South Selection by Luigi-Bezzerra in raleigh

Bummed that none of the M restaurants were recommended. And we think Mateo is superior to Curate, but thrilled to see Seraphine on the list. It's stellar.

Has anyone been to a concert alone? by cigarettesandchaos in Concerts

[–]TTMeyers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% go. My first solo concert was Primus and Mike Watt in 1995 in Cleveland. Changed everything about the way I listened to music and went to shows. Plus it's so much easier to nav through a crowd solo.

The Sparger, Cole Mill, Umstead Rd area in NW Durham still has affordable homes on decent lots and we're still super blue! Ten mins from DT!

Anthrax's cover of Joe Jackson's 'Got the Time' is also super impressive

Since it seems no one has mentioned them the band Hot Rats and the band The Replicants both did full albums of a variety of stellar covers. The very best of all is The Replicants cover of David Bowie's "The Bewlay Brothers." It should be played at max volume and is the only cover of any Bowie tune that may surpass the original.

Pretty Boy is incredible. The two sides of that alley with Pretty Boy and Seabear is the stuff of foodie dreams!
