Best New Music of 2009 (the 2/3 Edition)

Wel­come to the ²⁄₃ Edi­tion of the Best Music of 2009. In case you missed it back on May 1^st, 2009, here is the ¹⁄₃ Edi­tion.

Other Notes of Inter­est:
1. I have placed the entries in alpha­bet­i­cal order, eschew­ing the need to place any number/​place value upon these records until the end of the year actu­ally arrives (Exam­ple: Neko Case is a “C,” not a “N.”).
2. Many of these records on this list have been reviewed on this site, not to men­tion hav­ing quite pos­si­bly received great atten­tion else­where in the blo­gos­phere (not to men­tion in the fail­ing medium of the music mag­a­zine). Let me know your thoughts in the com­ments if you feel I’ve missed any­one or anything.
