2009 recommendations please!

Dear poptimists,
I am going to stay with my folks for a few days, where I will be largely cut off from the outside world i.e. the internet, which is an excellent opportunity to catch up on albums from 2009 that I have not yet caught up with. So far I have heard a few things that people have been shouting quite loudly about e.g. Electrik Red, Blaqkout, Rick Ross for some reason, and Silversun Pickups. Hmm... apparently I have only been listening to Lex and Moggy's advice so far this year. Any suggestions welcome.... and if I was to try and listen to something by this Michael Jackson fellow we've been hearing a lot about, I assume Off the Wall is the place to start? Thank you in advance,
yours with an enquiring mind

I made a new one. (http://senduit.com/d11ea2)

Depending on how much you like listening to mixes and / or dubstep (this very morning I got a dissing for "being down with the wrong sorts of kids", thanks co-workers!) this Cookie Monsta mix is pretty great (http://senduit.com/86fc52). Assuming you like both to at least some extent.

I like both mixes and dubstep so this is a win-win reply! cheers.
