if you're into Folds's "Bitches Aint Shit", i'd also highly reccommend his cover's of "Get Your Hands Off Of My Woman," and "In Between Days."
 
 i can also suggest...
 
 "We Will Become Sillhouettes" - The Shins (...surprisingly, NOT on the garden state st!)
 "BK Baby" - Ben Kweller (his version of Ice Ice Baby...)
 "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" - Rooney (...this is one of my favorite covers ever.)
 "I Found A Reason" - Cat Power
 "Road Runner" - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
 "Where Is My Mind?" and "If You Leave" - Nada Surf
 "Helter Skelter" - Oasis (there are actually about nine different versions of Helter Skelter on my iTunes.  i also really dig Siouxsie's cover...)
 "Spit On A Stranger" - Nickel Creek
 "Wave Of Mutilation" - Rhett Miller + Ben Kweller (that one's live...)
 "Accross The Universe" - Rufus Wainwright
 "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" - The White Stripes
 
 
 everything else has been mentioned already pretty much...

And they often throw in bits of Mushroom Head.
 
 For Spacemen 3, who can forget "When Tomorrow Hits" originally by Mudhoney.
 
 And Bowery Electric's cover of Spacemen 3's "Things will never be the same"
