Lack of Music

We're into our 9th month of 2005, and I've only gotten a handful of albums this year. The lack of a good radio station makes it tough to find new artists, but I had been doing pretty well despite that obstacle until this year. Does anyone have any albums to recommend, especially from this year? As a side note, it seems that I've ended every sentence in this post with the words this year. Is this common, or am I the first person to do that this year?
