Favorite albums of 2009

Everyone else was doing it two weeks ago! ...So naturally, I've only just gotten to it now. (Story of my life.) This is in no particular order.

Florence + the Machine - Lungs
Vienna Teng - Inland Territory
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!
Brandi Carlile - Give Up the Ghost
Metric - Fantasies
Mika - The Boy Who Knew Too Much
Imogen Heap - Ellipse

And also the self-titled first releases from Codeine Velvet Club and The Paper Raincoat. There were also a few albums that didn't quite make the cut but still had a few of my favorite songs from this year. Like "The Great Defector" from Bell X1's album, Blue Lights On the Runway, or "Human of the Year" from Regina Spektor's Far. (I'm firmly convinced that last one would make an excellent short story. Listen to it. Seriously.)
