List/Music: Sirius XMU's Top 41 Indie Songs of 2009

Sirius XMU is Sirius/XM's College Indie station. I recently caught part of their countdown of the top 41 indie songs of 2009. Here's the list. Consider it an easy entree into current indie music, if you're interested.

I've linked the YouTube videos for some of my personal faves. Do the rest yourself.

1. "Lisztomania" – Phoenix
2. "Two Weeks" – Grizzly Bear (This would be my #1. Great video, too.)
3. "When I Grow Up" – Fever Ray
4. "My Girls" – Animal Collective (This would be my #3.)
5. "Rake Song" – Decemberists
6. "Stillness is the Move" – Dirty Projectors
7. "Home" – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
8. "Heads Will Roll" – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
9. "Little Secrets" – Passion Pit (Just recently got into this album, Manners. Great dancey, electric indie pop. That is, if you can get past the falsetto.)
10. "Daniel" – Bat for Lashes
11. "Nothing To Worry About" – Peter Bjorn & John
12. "You’ve Got the Love (The XX Remix)" – Florence and the Machine

18. "Actor Out of Work" – St. Vincent
19. "Crying Lightning (Acoustic Live)" – Arctic Monkeys

24. "My Night With The Prostitute from Marseille" – Beirut/Realpeople
25. "The Reeling" – Passion Pit

31. "Young Adult Friction" – Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

35. "Lessons Learned" – Matt & Kim (This is the video I posted back in April where they get naked IRL. Remember!?)
36. "Tunnelvision" – Here We Go Magic
37. "Lust For Life" – Girls
38. "Hi-Fi Goon" – Throw Me The Statue
