Both Jeff Tweedy and his son Spencer Tweedy released books this month - just a week apart.

Last week, Jeff Tweedy joined Jill for a chat about his book How to Write One Song: Loving the Things We Create and How They Love Us Back, and today, Jay Gabler will recap his talk with Spencer Tweedy for us about his book Mirror Sound: The People and Processes Behind Self-Recorded Music.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear from fathers, and then their sons?
