Best of 2009 So Far?

[Fever]

I was just thinking about my highlight discs released so far this year.
My musical interests are all over the map, so this is more of a snapshot of today's mood maybe, but figured that some of these lesser known may interest someone else.
I left off compilations/greatest hits cause there are a ton of those.
What are yours? any genre
