    Yesterday we double posted some of the 'best indie songs' of 2008 that came from the first installment of this series. Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing that out. Today we promise there are no duplicates in this list, but there are more songs featured from some of our favorite indie albums of 2008.

    Take British Sea Power for example. The band's album, Do You Like Rock Music?, is on the shortlist of many blogs for one of the best albums of 2008. And, it's no wonder - it's fantastic!

    In an early installment of the best indie songs of 2008, we posted a song from The Ruby Suns. The album, Sea Lion, we likes so much that we're featuring another track here - "Oh, Mojave."

    Sea Lion, we thinks, is one of the most overlooked best indie albums of 2008. Also featured are songs from Air France, Beach House, British Sea Power and Headlights. Enjoy and visit the bands' websites and MySpace pages for more.

    "Waving Flags" by British Sea Power from Do You Like Rock Music? (sign up on BSP website for two free MP3s)

    "Get Your Head Around It"
    by Headlights from Some Racing, Some Stopping

    "Gila" by Beach House from Devotion

    "Oh, Mojave" by The Ruby Suns from Sea Lion

    "Collapsing At Your Doorstep"
    by Air France from No Way Down

    Post-post comment: Much to our dismay we have seen the Microsoft commercial in which the song "Oh Mojave" by The Ruby Suns is featured. And we thought they were our little secret. Fuck!

    Somehow I don't think that Microsoft using any sort of music in an ad makes said music better or worse. If I like it it doesn't mean it's good. I hope it does but just because somebody stupid enjoys it doesn't mean it's bad. Just like what you like who cares who else does.
    Even the dirtiest of hippies can accidentally falls into a tub full of water. All we can do is hope there's soap involved.
