    Some people have asked if this series of best songs is also a representation of the best indie albums as well. The answer is yes. The songs are in no particular order, but they are favorite songs selected from each of this year's best albums. At the end of the series, we'll publish the entire list of IRC's favorite album releases of 2008.

    For those of you wondering why we present only six songs at a time, it's just a format we contribute to six-packs; yup, corny, but hey, it's the music that counts.

    Today's best of 2008 indie includes artists The Hush Now, Unicycle Loves You, No Age, Santogold, The Magnetic Fields and Rainbow Arabia.

    "Traditions"- The Hush Now from The Hush Now
    "Dangerous Decade"- Unicycle Loves You from Unicycle Loves You
    "Eraser"- No Age (photo, right) from Nouns
    "Starstruck"- Santogold from Santogold
    "Till the Bittend"- The Magnetic Fields from Distortion
    "Watchout"- Rainbow Arabia from KVRX 3x5 2008

    Bonus Track: "All of My Love" American Music Club from The Golden Age

    Any list with both Santogold and Magnetic Fields wins my heart under any pretense. Thumbs up.
