Music Monday 11.8.10

It's a glorious Music Monday at Reformissionary. Let me throw some gems at you.

• Hot Deals: The 99 Most Essential Christmas Masterpieces ($1.99) | Florence + The Machine: Lungs ($3.99) | Teenage Fanclub: Bandwagonesque ($3.99) | The 99 Darkest Pieces of Classical Music ($1.99) | Band of Horses: Everything All The Time ($3.99)
• $5 Albums: Reformissionary Recommendations for November | Don't Miss 5: Brandi Carlile: The Story | Ra Ra Riot: The Orchard | Fang Island: Fang Island | Dark Night of the Soul | Arcade Fire: Funeral
• Streaming: Pickins is slim this week, but don't miss the excellent Bruce Springsteen: The Promise (The Lost Sessions: Darkness on the Edge of Town)
• Also: You really need to check out Her Name Is Calla. Download The Quiet Lamb. I know I've been mentioning it like every week, but you need it every week. You are welcome. And go download for free Kernal Garner's new song, "Homicide." Love it.

I highly recommend Derek Webb's new album, Feedback. It "an instrumental electronic album based on the Lord's Prayer." I think you'll like it. It's creative & beautiful.

A discovery from the last couple of months has been Dark Dark Dark. I first heard of them via Daytrotter's free download from last month (also grab September 2009 & March 2009 sessions). Their newest album, Wild Go, is great. I'll soon be downloading all their stuff because of songs I've found from previous albums (Bright Bright Bright | The Snow Magic) like "Wild Goose Chase." Enjoy...
