Then in January
So far this year I've been enjoying some new favorites from other people's year end lists, and of course:
The Invincible and Blu & Exile are some hip-hop Emusic recommended, but I haven't gotten very into them yet. I've had better luck with some miscellaneous tracks from Skate 2. I also got some miscellaneous singles from a few BBC Sound of 2009 contenders like Florence and the Machine, Kid Cudi, and winner Little Boots that are really nice. (Apparently Little Boots got started on YouTube.)

I still haven't listened to the Vivian Girls album much as it sounds so muddy. It's pleasant but it kind of slides in one ear and out the other. Jim DeRogatis said in the Sound Opinions review that he had to overcome the lo-finess before it grew on him, so maybe I'm just not past that stage yet.
