Listed top down, in order of radness: from Kucinich-administration-rad to Obama- administration-still-pretty-rad...
1) Barack-ing the vote. Yes. I said it. I waited for 45 minutes this morning! Amazing turnout!
2) Move D. Everyone's loving this guy lately. Brilliant electronic musician from the early to mid nineties who's been releasing a string of refreshing house EPs and one long, twittering oddyssey with constant collaborator Benjamin Brunn. His RA podcast is one of the very few I can remember listening to the whole way through without fast forwarding. His career spans many genres and is ever-evolving, so keep watching.
3) Pumpkin carving and any pumpkin-related food stuffs.
4)Das Krause Duo. For anyone who likes the idea of dance music being made with 'real' instruments—this is your jam(s). Weird groovy syncopated beastly music.
5) Portable. You liked Bodycode, right? Then you should loooove the continuous string of releases Lisbon's favorite son has planned for this year and the next. Spooky shit.
6) Baaz. This guy is kind of new; has 3 EPs out since 2006 (Discogs is wrong). The 2 on Sthlmaudio Recordings are really nice—they have a deep late night sound, but still have enough energy to interest the sober dancefloor occupants.
7) Art Bleek. This is an overdue posting, I bought his Reposal EP last December and was loving the intricacies and fluid melodies. Everything was subtle yet assertive. His catalogue from the past year is divided between this kind of lovely, inventive, iridescent tech house and some pretty vampy, funky house music. I prefer the former, though it is all done very well. You don't have to read his bio to get that this guy is a skilled musician, not a just another 'producer'.
8) Pigeon Funk. On Musique Risquee from Montreal. Cracked-out funk techno whatever. Read and listen.

Pigeon Funk! It's like epilepsy at an amusement park!
Really dig the move D stuff too. I agree with the Baaz assesment drowsy disco at a codiene rave.
