I'm in the middle of making a Lazy Summer Mix. Here's 5 songs so far that aren't Yo La Tengo:
Lemonheads - Rudderless (Live, 2005) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_GIlZX8yDQ#)

These Are The Ghosts - The Bees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qre_vgRYKU0#)
Steely Dan - Any Major Dude Will Tell You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kND8TRZap8Y#) (or the wilco version)
Ween - Mutilated Lips (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzIHkFJnLbc#) (this whole album is one of the best summertime drinking albums)
Yo La Tengo- Tiny Birds

In the summer I always dig the red hot chili peppers back out of hiding

See I said "not Yo La Tengo" because I don't have a yard where I can go and sit and listen to them as the Gods intended.
You know Chode, Rudderless is my favorite Lemonheads song. Period.
And this is the ultimate summer song.
The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lyu1KKwC74#)
Mine too, except I think it also is one of the few songs that makes me feel like a summer afternoon with nothing to do and puts me in a totally shiftless rudderless mood
So I guess that makes it one of the few songs to really work as advertised
I find myself always leaning heavily on Portugal. the Man's The Satanic Satanist in the summertime. Great album to play in the car with the windows down.
