Know the Song, Don't Know the Artist

Last night on the way home from work I was listening to Cosmic Commander's Sonic Radio on Faction. I heard a song and would really like to find out who did it.
Sometime between 11pm and midnight on my drive home I heard Styrofoam. It sounded like he said it was by Mike Nessmith, but I looked that up and either it was never on an album ever or one of us is wrong. I have more faith in my remembering the Mike part of the name for what it's worth. But it could have easily just been a name that the host said around when he said the title.
I do know for sure that it wasn't Dr. Feelgood's version. It sounded more, um, Jack Johnson-ish than that. If nothing else I've seen in my search that the show will be rebroadcast on Wednesday which would have the song played between 9 and 10pm (hopefully while I'm at work still).

Response by poster: No. This is the right song, but not the right version of it.
I really should have linked to it in the first post.

It wasn't Mike Ness from Social Distortion by chance? ( I can't find any record of him playing that song, but he does have a history of covering similar material.

Best answer: Styrofoam by Mike Wilhelm and Loose Gravel?

Normally, I would recommend Dogstarradio to find out your satellite radio playlists, but Sonic Radio doesn't seem to publish a playlist for some reason. You don't say what time zone you are in, so maybe you will have better luck searching than I did, though.
It does say that you can contact cosmicommander@gmail.com if all else fails. Worse come to worse, have your phone loaded with Shazam / Soundhound ready and waiting for the replay...
