I really like Sleepyhead, who were an interesting bridge between Yo La Tengo/Antietam-style Hoboken indie and the more pop-oriented aspects of the Elephant 6 groups. But as much as I love most of their records, the Scott Miller fan in me has to go with this, a cover of Game Theory's "Like A Girl Jesus" from the flip of their "Punk Rock City USA" single. This cover is much more in the YLT half of the above equation, covering the spare acoustic original in a very post-flannel layer of lo-fi guitar fuzz and ending it with a Neil Young-inspired guitar solo that sounds like it was lifted off a Teenage Fanclub record. Good stuff.
