It’s a hot, muggy, and gray day here in Tennessee – a perfect time to cash in on the two iTunes gift cards I got for my birthday.

Right now I’m putting together a new playlist that includes: Sufjan Stevens, Rosie Thomas, Kate Earl, A Fine Frenzy, Tegan and Sarah, Regina Spektor, Over the Rhine, Coldplay, and Cat Power. I may also add a few songs to my “guilty pleasure” playlist, which includes artists ranging from Kate Nash, to Mary J. Blige, to Red Hot Chili Peppers, to (my all-time favorite) Alanis Morissette. 

If you had $50 to spend exclusively on music, where would you buy it and what would you buy?(I’ll use your responses to create a “Monkey Town Mix” to post later in the week!)
