Rufus Wainwright - Want

"I just want to be my dad
With a slight sprinkling of my mother."

Old 97's - Rollerskate Skinny

Brian Wilson - Vegetables

"Sleep a lot, eat a lot
brush 'em like crazy
run a lot, do a lot
never be lazy"

My Morning Jacket - Off the Record

I saw My Morning Jacket open for Stephen Malkmus in 2003 or so and the audiece didn't like them very much. They played a loud show and sounded like a rock and roll band, and they were swinging their long hair and beards all over the place. There were even boos. I loved it. I bought their album At Dawn that night. The album sounded very different from the show they played, but I liked it, too.

Vampire Weekend - I Think UR a Contra

OK that's not the real album cover.

M. Ward - Let's Dance (Bowie cover)

M. Ward also performed this live in the NPR studio, and I think it sounds even better than the album version. Hear it here (starts at about 16:40 into the show, but his explanation of the cover pretty interesting as well)

Beck - Your Love is Weird

Great chorus.

Weezer - Susanne

Yo La Tengo - Our Way to Fall

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - How I Long to Feel That Summer in My Heart (album)

Wistful, nostalgic, elegant in places.

Here's a link to Grooveshark playlist of the whole album.
