Some wags may be tempted to point out that this is not a temporary state of affairs. Save it for the wiki, I say.

As always, I’m jonesin’ for a hit from my dealer, the iTunes music store. A musical smorgasbord awaits me. But so many choices! To you, dear reader, I hand the keys to my credibility (hipster, indie, street, et al), popularity, enjoyment, and edification.

Make a vote on what I should buy this month. In return, I promise to bend to your will like a reed in the wind. Additionally, I will post a review of said album in my best faux-Blender style. Thrilling prospect, I know. I’ll tone things down here in the future. But bask in the moment and consider the possibilities:

• Phil Keaggy by Phil Keaggy
• Kicking Television – Live In Chicago by Wilco
• The Life Aquatic Exclusive Studio Sessions (Featuring Seu Jorge) by Seu Jorge
• Home Grown! The Beginner’s Guide to Understanding the Roots by The Roots
• Yoshimi Wins! (Live Radio Sessions) by The Flaming Lips
• Apathetic EP by Relient K
• The New Pornographers – Live Session (iTunes Exclusive) by The New Pornographers
• Christmas Cookin’ by Jimmy Smith
• Descended Like Vultures by Rogue Wave
• Ultimate Isaac Hayes – Can You Dig It? by Isaac Hayes

My musical fate rests in your hands. Are you not entertained?!

[Update: Elissa and John reminded me of a few more. Thanks for making this more difficult, guys.]:

• Separation Sunday by The Hold Steady
• Coolin’ Off by Galactic
• Guero by Beck
• Dimanche a Bamako by Amadou & Mariam
• Hypnotize by System of a Down
• The Weight Is a Gift by Nada Surf
• Z by My Morning Jacket
